Oz Comic Con: Day 1

As you already know, my sister visited this week for Comic Con.
She has always loved Charmed and specifically Piper and Leo, who just happen to both be coming to Oz Comic Con this year. I was planning to go with her anyways then... Ron Pearlman was announced !!
The schedule came out a few days before the con and we worked out where everyone was going to be and when and what we were going to do.
Last minute Sarah decided she didn't want to get the autographs anymore, so that freed us up so much for the two days.
Day one I knew would be busy, this being Sarah's first Con, she was not quite prepared for the lines but eventually we got in.
We headed to the token booth before doing anything (having studied the map for several days before we were able to go straight there without much issue), and tokens were selling out quick.
My sister scored her Holly Marie-Combes and Ron Pearlman tokens, unfortunately though Brian Krause was out of the question having the 9.30am slot (when the doors opened after 9am!!!).
I got my Ron Pearlman token :-)
Then we went to enjoy the rest of the Con before we have to get the to photo line-ups.
 Love life-size replicas.
The two robots ( I forget R2D2's orange little friends name) actually moved! We saw them later running around the con and beeping, via remote control.
 I hate my camera! These two were awesome!
 Alice and the Hatter, with the ever-present Cheshire Cat
 So many Pop! Figurines.
I am totally starting to obsess over these things!
Though as yet I have only bought villains.
I have a heap on my wish-list but decided before the con that I definitely wanted to get a Hordak from She-Ra Princess of Power.
 Hordak is so cute!
Sarah got an Agnes from Despicable Me.
I took this photo while waiting for Sarah while she went and lined up for her photo with Holly.
 Amazing Babydoll Cosplayer, so lovely and nice too.
 She waited 15 years for this moment.
When she came out she was so excited she was shaking, its not everyday you meet your childhood idol.
 R2D2 was nice enough to stop for some photos with people.
 The Fast and The Furious cars were in town.
Isn't it beautiful!
 Then this totally happened!
Didn't have a huge budget for Con this year but still got some stuff.
Jean and Ivy art post cards, Captain Human Robot Comic (only $1), and Pop! Hordak.
