The San Diego Comic Con 2012 Report- Wednesday

Jul 25, 2012 14:01

Hey gang,

So another year, another Comic Con down. As always it was crowded, jumbled, hectic, crazy, long lines, aching feet inducing, fan mingling and cosplay filed galore.

I always look forward to your reports and this was no exception. Wonderful photos and you both looked brilliant. .

Thanks. Really glad you dig them.

I came for the Doctor Who write up and instantly died at the Avengers cosplay. You guys make an excellent Emma and Steed. <3

LOL. Happy to surprise you with other 60's british TV heroes.

Agree with othellia. I love the original Avengers! Some day, with or without a Steed, I will cosplay Emma Peel. That show was brilliant.

Emma Peel needs more cosplay love. You know if she were around today she'd get all kinds of cosplay going on. I keep getting told we need to do her leather S4 outfit but that is daunting and I can tell Teri is not fond of the idea of wearing it due to restriction and heat though we have our eye on a couple of other possibles.

Next upgrade... a steel brim for the bowler hat! What great work on those clothes (they are more than costumes!). Fabulous report as well. The wife and I watched some of the love coverage on G4 TV (with John Barrowman presenting quite a bit) and it even more made us wish we could get there. But the coverage and these outstanding "After Action Reports" (as we say in the military) are what keeps our spirits up ( ... )

LOL. I think I can live without the metal bowler but I do want to get the brolly with sword inside of it though it's very expensive! Agreed on the Batmobiles- the '66 is my fav.

Yeah we thought the card would help with recognition and just be a fun prop to have around. We really wanted to have it on the captain's Chair (too obscured with ropes most of the time though) and also at the Stargate (not there this year) and the TARDIS (again not there this year) so all in all kind of a bummer. But yeah not widely know but those that got it were pretty happy.

Glad you liked the reports and dug our Avengers!

I see the Batpod and just laugh, as when we saw it at the WB studios we were told its nickname on set was 'the nut-cracker.'

Love the photos, and you guys really made a smashing Steed/Peel duo! I'm so glad to see someone give those two the love they so deserve.

honorarydoctor August 8 2012, 17:33:10 UTC

LOL. I can totally see that. I get the new Batman but the Bat Pod and tumbler just don't have the same level of cool that the 60's Bat stuff had.

Thanks much. Always have to represent the old school. Sorry we missed you when you were in town visiting at Wally's!

Agreed, sadly the stylish aspects of Batman's transports is lost when one goes the 'realistic' route I guess.

Yeah it sucks we find out after we get home you guys were nearby. It was so last minute, we had no idea we even were going to his place until we were 3 miles away. Maybe next time!
