Comic Con 2015 -- Tour with Marty Mouse

Post 7 of 7
SDCC 2015 has become a pop culture phenomenon...

with world-wide press coverage ...

 and a special guest .... Marty Mouse

Marty made the rounds at SDCC 2015 starting with pre-show access during set-up....here he is outside the WETA booth

Enjoying a visit with friends at the Ugly Doll booth...

 They are famous for their con exclusive offerings...

 So many superheroes in various incarnations. These examples from the Lego Booth...

Life-size characters on display at movie and TV studio booths ready for photo ops...

Comic Con also means crowds....

 

and lots of long lines....

Lots of Star Wars items featured....

 Assorted sizes of action figures..

 The new Pixar movie also well-represented .. here are some prototype ornaments from Hallmark..

 A seasoned convention-goer like Marty knows it's important to balance your schedule of activities. Get some outside time....

 Be early for your meetings ... getting across the hall can be time consuming :) Here's Marty at the portfolio review area....

 Upstairs is the Sails Pavilion (autograph area)

The snack stations upstairs are typically less crowded than the ones near the main exhibit hall.

 While panels are in session, the hallways can be an oasis of space (and there are outlets on the wall to re-charge your electronic devises)

 The wonderful folks in the cosplay community bring so much fun and creativity to conventions. They really shine at SDCC.. and are such great sports.

 This handsome Loki looked so much like the real thing...

 And this towering Groot made quite an impression..

This young attendee brought her rattie puppet pal Barney...

More rattie-themed fun .. with Remy and pals from Pixar film Ratatouille

Pixar power continued with Joy and Sadness from Inside Out...

 and even the "Imaginary Boyfriend"

So many wonderful characters ..

Many types of Minions .. here's a Thor mash-up ...

Cosplay brings out the fun in everyone...

Many Maleficents...

Lovely Tinkerbell....

Old school favorites

 

New school versions...

Classic Superman...

Beautiful Batgirl...

Star Wars pairs....

Two very tall Hobbits!

 Steampunk Tigger...

Comics are international...
here are Tin Tin and Snowy...

Kiki and Totoro...

 Harry Potter....

Sherlock Holmes...

 One reason for the long lines on the exhibit hall floor...

 Amazing surprises you might not expect to see... a real Oscar on display at a SFX booth...

Toys ... Toys... Toys...

And high-end collector statues....

Squee plush pals represent the softer side of comic con....

Lots of hardware too... especially cars!

Shout out to Stuart Ng Books... their 18th year exhibiting at San Diego Comic Con!

A favorite stop for artists of all sorts....

Marty loves the selection of Little Golden Books featuring art by folks who worked on the films and/or at the studios....
