Hiya
I went to the London MCM Expo today and met some really cool guy in the queue to get in who had a Tails doll!!! He said it was the only one in the world, and I think he said he made it. It looked very professional.
Anywayz, we started talking about Sonic forums and he said he comes to Sonic HQ, so I thought I'd pop over and see if he's around.
Sorry for the randomness!

you most likely met craig. ^^ he didn't make the tails doll, but he paid someone to make it for him. (i've tried stealing it off him, but with no success.)

welcome to the forum! *removes your shoelaces and hands you a glowing red gem to balance on your head* please be sure you've read the forum rules.

Dang - I was hoping to make it this year, but unfortunately the combination of work and poor train timing means that i'm going to have to hold off until next time...still that might give me time to perhaps make a Nabeshin (see piccie below) costume for cosplay 😛

Thanks ChibiBecca!!!

Your av is gorgeous bcdcdude. I didn't go in cosplay today unfortunately...wish I had though!!! Would've loved to go as a moogle or Queen Brahne.
If I wasn't so fat I would choose either Sailor Moon or Amy Rose...

The costumes there were awesome. There was an awesome Aeris and Cloud....and 4 girls dressed up as Link, Saria, Malin and Zelda!!! They were great!!!

Well, howdie there, Miss Helenbaby, any friend of Craig is a friend of ours. I hope you enjoy your stay here and watch out for the newbie eaters, but don't worry, I'm not one of them. BTW, Craig's screen name is simply "Craig Bayfield." Hope to see you around!:)

"Double-posting" is fine here when someone follows the thread format like Helen has done.

I went to that expo too! I was dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter. Was lots of fun. Got myself Love Hina vol: 2 and 3! And ChibiBecca is right! Don't let your size stop you from cosplaying. I will admit it was the first time I gave cosplay a go and I can guarantee it's lots of fun, especially when people ask for a photo! I went with a friend and we took a pic of each other. We look kinda weird. :cuckoo

Anyway, hi and welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay and be merry seeing as Christmas is almost here!
I love Christmas.

Thanks Super Rayzor and True Red. I'm used to newbie eaters, been on enough Sonic boards to know all about those. Was eaten alive when I first joined SCARZ, but oddly enough I had a worse time when I joined S.Classic, where I was called a Sutter impersonator o_O(many of you who visit other boards will know about Sutter). The guy who called me Sutter was subsequently banned, he was a real ass....
I know body-size shouldn't stop you in theory, but who really wants to see a 12-stone Sailor Moon walking around? o_O At my weight I'd just feel more comfortable as a moogle or something.
Was going to use the edit button ChibiBecca but could not find it. This forum's format is a little confusing, am used to Invisionfree
Emerald Hedgehog, were you hanging around with Craig? If so I probably met you 😛

Thanks to popular vote against it, we didn't go back for the second day, so if you went again to see us, sorry we missed ya.

Twas indeed me ye met in the queue, along with friends TheCjTails, Thamior Headbuster, BFFG and Archonn21. We'll upload the pics from the event (including you hugging TD) soon :)

It was great to meet you and hope to see you about the forum.

GAH! I met you, Emerald and had no idea. I was the one in the blue Gundam Outfit, I took a pic of you and a Nuruto Ninja in the queue for the 11am tickets.

You was great, by the way :)

Yeah I was there.

Pity I didnt have my cossy gear though.

I was surrounded by furries of all kinds it was so cool

So it was either that or Jedi Knight as I have the proper metal saber and jedi robes.

It was an interesting day though.

Awww, it was great to meet you too!!! *hugz*
Would love that pic of me hugging Tails Doll ^_^
I didn't go on the second day 😛 Only went on the first because my uni society (Phoenix Down, an RPG society) had promised it to our members. I wanted to go to that big video games convention in Birmingham that was this month instead 😛
Very glad I went though. It was fun meeting you all!!!

you can find the edit button on the left of your post, underneath your username. if you get confused by the forums layout, you're free to ask for help.

again, i say wieght isn't an issue! a Sailor Moon with proper curves instead of the match-sticked legged girls of the anime would be nice to see.
..the only scary sailor moon cosplayers are the guys with massively hairy legs. oo;

*Giggles* There was only one male-to-female crossplayer at the con, and he was doing Gundam SEED too.

I have a pic with him/her *LAUGHS* Pink mini-skirts + hairy legs = interesting, but I have GREAT respect for the guy, and the fact he had the complete costume... *Steals his/her boots*

Welcome to the boards, Helen! ^^
I didn't go to the con because...I had no idea when it was o.o but I'm hoping to go next year...and do whatever it is you're supposed to do there >>
But It's nice to hear you guys all had fun ^^

That wasn't me I'm afraid Craig, but I did see the guy you were talking about though. Naruto Ninja was really cool!
I was wearing the outfit with the ripped sleeves. I was with my friend who is black. He was wearing red boxing gloves.
If only I knew some people from the forum were going, I would have made a point to find ya! Got to let each other know when we're going to the next expo. :thumbsup

Yeah - that's a great idea. It'd be great to put the names to the faces. If i go as Nabeshin, all you gotta do is find the afro and you find me LOL

I went there aswell. The Expo was good for about an hour, with some really good cosplayers, but that was about it. (Though i enjoyed the rest of the weekend).

*Sighs*

I'm still slightly irked that I couldn't make it, I was looking forward to it, but sounds like everyone had a good time, so that's cool. I shall make the next one! Or may the gods of geekiness stike me down at my monitor!

Oh, and welcome to the forums. Since it's halloween, I shall greet you apropriately.

Yus, I went to the london expo (me also known as BFFG)

I didn't really have a costume of any sort, just a ye olde shirt and a katana ^__^
although I did have my pirates o caribbean medallion on and I ended up buying a leaf ninja headband so I guess I ended up as a ninja pirate ^__^

it was a fun day and I got to meet CJ, and also craig for the second time.

spending more money than I had was an unfortunate side effect

Hmm... the official head of the (now defunct) Newbie "Welcomers" not providing a customary "Welcome" to a newbie...

Is this the end of the MoFo as we know it?!?!

Still, welcome to the boards. I'm no-one, just a passing figment of your imagination, but still pleased to make your acquaintance.

It's not a "hello, I'm new" topic...
