Hello again dear friends in the geekier sector of our readership. I am proud to be one of you and also to continue along with the day by day coverage of the currently in progress Anime NYC convention that began this past Thursday. It’s currently on its third day and as you read this post I’m actually making my way into the city to explore as much as possible. This post continues to bring you the findings from Day One so you might want to click HERE as it will launch a new browser tab with everything that is posted from Anime NYC 2025. For this installment I decided to head down to the Gaming and Community Hall. You might remember me pointing out that last year, the Play NYC convention was integrated into Anime NYC. I didn’t find it open when I got there so that will be something for the other days.
I didn’t know about the existence of a “Quiet Room” before today but I think that its a great idea for those who need a bit of an “away” space. Conventions are overwhelming and if you have things about you that make you a bit more sensitive then good on the organizers for setting this space up.
The awesome Anime NYC convention had returned to New York City once again and at the time of this writing/posting, is currently in the middle of its second day. This post however will be bringing you some of the images and thoughts that took place on the first day. It’s here where I suggest that you click this TAG as it will launch a new browser tab and everything that I post from Anime NYC 2025 will be lined out in the order that it was posted. So as expected I was once again bringing the PiercingMetal outlet into the convention as a member of the media and I am one of those folks who will start talking to cosplayers even on the train in.
My chatty vibe found me meeting a bunch of Spider-Man family cosplayers and while I felt that they were heading into the wrong event, I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to snap them. The same applies for this next kind pair who said they were attending for the first time if I am remembering correctly.
Hey Friends, I am back with the second installment from the recent Big Apple Comic Con that was held only a few days ago at the New Yorker Hotel. As I’ve already mentioned, the convention now seems to be a one-day affair and has locked in the late fall and winter season as a “Christmas Con” of sorts. Let’s continue along with the awesome artist John Holmstrom from Punk Magazine and much more.
Welcome back my friends to our continued deep-dive into the recently passed New York Comic Con for 2024. If you’re just joining us, the is my second Special Features post from the convention which is a little bit of a new way of presenting the findings. Since I tend to speak in a flowing narrative I’d love for you to start from the beginning by clicking NYCC 2024 since that opens a brand-new browser tab for you to follow from the start. Now without any further adieu, let’s get back to the program.
Some of you out there in the readership might know that there was no Toy Fair this year and that meant no advance look at items coming from our friends at Diamond Select Toys. For this special feature I just snapped each section of their absolutely massive display case as all of these items are on sale now. I think only a select few are up and coming. I love so much of the DST stuff but mostly when it comes to action figures and Minimates. Statues are a hard sell for me unless its Vader, Doctor Doom and Godzilla. Let’s browse.
Hello there my friends. So here we are again am I right? Now many of you might recall my mentioning that after I posted the day by day observations from the recently ended New York Comic Con that I would be presenting a few special features. I’m ready to being sharing those but if you’ve not seen anything previous please click NYCC 2024 first. That will open a brand-new browser tab with all of this years convention content in one sweet looking list. Let’s now get into these feature.
Pure Arts Studios has some amazing statues but they are not really my thing in terms of collecting and displaying. I do love these classic Batman series ones though.
