My Experience at Wizard World Comic Con Chicago 2015
Wizard World Comic Con Chicago 2015 is over and I can't believe that I've seen my favorites in just two days! This year, I invested my time and money (going VIP is awesome!) to experience and be part of this super event.

Day 1 & 2 - Thursday & Friday (Agenda: Toy hunt)
After work, I go straight to the venue to picked up my badge. Having a VIP access has many perks that includes a photo op & autograph, plus a 4 day access to the event. This year, I purchased Stephen Amell VIP access. Who is he? Oh well, Google it to find out, LOL

I also got a chance to take a look at different toys and comics at the exhibit area. There two halls, the funny part of this adventure is - I didn't know that the next hall is what we called, "Autograph session" I found out it very late when I went there on Saturday...that was my very big mistake to check out who were there last Thursday & Friday, okay I'll skip that part for my Saturday entry LOL

There is also the Avatar inspired booth, Toruk - Cirque de Soleil is having their own version of Avatar so you have to see it if you are a circus fan. I think the first show will be in Las Vegas. Going back to the booth, it has "make your own Avatar" morphing your face into a something special. Morphed faces also shown on the TV screen outside the booth but you can also prefer receiving your morphed faces through email. Here's mine:

It's FUNKO EVERYWHERE. Yes, literally. I was drowned seeing tons of Funko. Though I'm looking for something unique to collect, I ended up buying Hello Kitty vinyl figures. Also, I took home a Green Ranger vinyl - Wizard World's collectible souvenir item. There was also a R2D2 vinyl (not that sure of its manufacturer) for $10 and the bad thing
was, I couldn't find it when I went back the other day...sigh!!!

Day 3: It's raining men (Saturday)
Yes, that's true. My feet & back hurts from standing and waiting long lines but that's not an excuse...everything is worth it. Seeing them is one of the best experience.

Every fan loves meeting their favorite artist/celebrity. This area is heaven!!! Unfortunately, taking photos or selfies were not allowed in this area. But hey wait, I did an acrobatic shot while waiting in line.
