This weekend saw our first appearance at the MCM Expo in East London.  For those that don’t know about it, MCM is the biggest celebration of all things gaming sci-fi anime, manga, cosplay and general geekiness in the UK.

MCM is about the same as the New York Comic Con, but the cost of travel is much cheaper for us 🙂

We took the mayamada team down for three days of non stop standing on your feet, but it was so worth the lower back damage because we had an amazing time talking to loads of friendly and passionate people as well as make new friends and fans along the way.

Here are some of the best moments from the show…

We visited MCM in May but now that we had a stall we got to skip the lines.

Even though the area was massive, it didn’t take too long to find our spot.

 

 

Once we set up our stall we were off and running!

 

Two big tradiitionas at MCM are free hugs and cosplay.  Both were in full force!

 

 

 

 We ran into the Black Butler who carried a pocket watch like the one we used for the 11th Hour photoshoot.

The downside to being behind the stall all day is that you don’t get to see much of the stall – but some of our team managed to sneak away

 

 

 

It was a long day and it took it’s toll on some!

We we’re really pleased with how things went and we’re already looking forward to the next MCM in May – we’ll be back and better than ever!

Check out the rest of the pictures on our Facebook page, and if you are one of the cosplayers we photographed, don’t forget to tag yourself to be a part of the cosplay competition to win a free t-shirt.
