ATTENTION GRABBING

While Konami gave away headbands so attendees could promote Konami all over the con, other booths had other methods. Colorful wigs, clever logos, and fun props—like the Infinity Gauntlet—caught our eyes. Luis loved these crocheted heroes. "How did I not add that Superman to my collection?" Funimation and Chevy seem to both have set up photo ops. JellyBelly always gets us to check in on what their artist is going to create over the four days.

From sketch books to make up, fancy hats to corsets, the variety of ways to express your fandom through a new purchase seems endless on the Show Floor.

The Parks and Recs adult coloring book caught my eye, but I did wonder, are adult coloring books still a thing?

MORE SWAG

As we walked by the Marvel booth, Boom's Spider-Man garb caught the eye of the attendant handing out free comics and posters. He called us over, went behind the booth and came back out with this Spider-Man Citizen Watches box. Boom proudly carried his box for the rest of the day, wondering if there was a watch inside. I truly didn't know, but couldn't imagine that they were handing out watches. We finally opened the box on the train to fi nd a fun inflatable solar powered lamp. Also, I definitely took a Finn Balor card from the Topps card wall. It seemed to be a popular destination. —LV

Nap time

This attendee napped while her family entered a raffle for the Sideshow Iron Man statue. A spin of the wheel replaces a badge swipe at another booth.
