Once again Long Beach Comic Con manages to outdo itself. Cosplayers were in force, and the workmanship and imagination of the costumes did not disappoint. Between the panels, exhibitors, and cosplayers there was never a boring moment.
At cosplay corner you could learn how to easily, quickly, and cheaply make an outstanding costume from foam and hot glue.
In the lobby, the attendees were entertained by a flash mob featuring dancing Obamas, Hillarys, and Bill Clinton.
On exhibit was Nth Degree. They have perfected the technology for printable LEDs. Perfect for an exciting costume or for efficient lighting.
There were many interesting and exciting panels, but what caught this reporter’s attention was the Christopher Pike movie project. A fan film unlike any other fan film, with a fresh take on the Pike/Spock relationship.
Do you like fan cars? There were many fan cars, ranging from the familiar Star Wars and Ghostbusters modifications, to the sportster from The Prisoner. Three KITT cars were there, along with Herbie the Love Bug, and the Mach 5.
