Anime Boston

I'm surprised there hasn't been a topic for this yet! What did you nab at the con this year for awesome loot?



It's probably a hard thing to see, but here's all the items:

1.) A "file" from someone passing out files for file sharing. That was hilarious, thanks! I got "porn".
2.) Gunpowder from a creeper cosplayer I took a photo of. That was extremely clever! Thanks!
3.) An I.O.U. for 256 Master Balls from the Missingno cosplayer. Also extremely clever! Thanks! XD
4.) Flower from an Aeris cosplayer with a basket. It got squished a bit in my backpack. :X
5.) Ellis' trucker hat from Left 4 Dead 2
6.) Lots of awesome commissions, represented by the blue folder I kept them all in.
7.) P.O.W. - Prisoners of War for NES
8.) Galaga for NES
9.) Fire 'N Ice for NES
10.) Poster of Ms. Fortune from Skullgirls
11.) T-Shirt of Cerebella from Skullgirls
12.) T-Shirt of a Minecraft creeper peeking out of a hole.
13.) Autograph on my Excel Saga box set from Nabeshin
14.) Mega Man plushie! (If anyone saw the Finn with Mega Man tattoos is seeing this now, this should be no surprise I got this. XD)
15.) E-Reader from a guy who was just gonna throw this out late Saturday night! Thanks dude!

Ok, so I didn't get much this year, but I did get these:

One Piece 3-in-1 Manga 10,11,12
" " " " 13,14,15
Phoenix Wright manga 1
" " " 2
" " " 3
Kazumi Goddess

((Photo soon))

Here's an overview of the stuff I bought (and won!) at this year's AB...mostly Naruto stuff ^^;

I bought an Edward Elric plushie, an Alphonse Elric plushie, and a Roy Mustang Plushie. I also got an FMA folder thingy. In Artist Alley, I got some cute buttons. Also, an AB 2013 t-shirt!

I have a somewhat unhealthy thing for figures of any kind, so of course I had to drop hot dollars on a few.


Two of Rise from Persona 4, a goddess madoka and school uniform madoka, Naoto from Persona 4, Aigis from Persona 3, and Ukyō from Amnesia.

All I got for Boston this year is a judge's choice award, but the sign on Cosplay HQ called it swag, so I will too!! ='D

I got a rock.

It's funny because at my hall cosplay judging, I said I was the Charlie Brown of the Masque because I was a ghost made out of a bed sheet

I also got a gigantic llama plush like the small one pictured but that was for my little girl and she wouldn't let me steal it back for a photo ^^;

Some of the stuff I bought at AB. Adventure Time print, KurohShiro doujinshi, Silver Clan keychain set, Celes and Komaeda buttons, Yume Nikki prints, and KomaHina print.

My loots!
Madoka Magica LE Sets 1, 2, & 3; GuiltyCrown Inori figure


Witchblade signed lithograph from charity auction!


NERV bag & random swag


and last but in no way least, posters signed by Stephanie Sheh, and Masayuki Ozaki (director at Sunrise)


sorry for large pics!

I had an unusually good budget this year, so I went all out. (What you see below doesn't include gifts for friends.)

First, a rather eclectic assortment of figurines, pins, and random stuff. (Yeah...Squid Girl next to Mina Tepes of Dance in the Vampire Bund next to Cutey Honey, plus Panty and Stocking and Chuck...) The mug is Ikaros from Heaven's Lost Property, and the manga is a parody anthology of Evangelion, authorized by Gainax.



Next, the new additions to the Blu-ray collection (Dusk Maiden of Amnesia and Mysterious Girlfriend X were advance copies):



I also pre-reged for 2014; therefore, the saving-up has already begun...

I'll have to get some pictures taken of the loot.

Con-Swag:

Volumes 1-7 of HOTD (I am so stoked to own these, lol)
Volumes 1-5 of Soul Eater
A manga called "Doubt" (It's pretty good. I likes.)
SAO Wall Scroll
2x HOTD Wall Scrolls (Guhehe)
1 Miku Wall Scroll
1 Deadman Wonderland Wall Scroll.
65 Miku Card Sleeves.

Seriously, best expenditure of money ever. I only wish I had more to put down on some SAO figurines or something, haha.

By the way, that's some nice variety. Good choices.

I didn't have a lot of money to spend on swag (spent it all on parking) but I was able to pick up the complete series of XXXHolic.
I was hoping to buy the Little Sister on Board bumper sticker but they had sold out

I got some "con swag" ;D

The gas mask, The Sims items, Hellsing vol. 9, SGT Frog volumes, and the yaoi book Spell all came from the Swap Meet~

I spent most of my money in AA for prints, but for actual stuff I picked up in the dealers room (sorry, no pictures):

Sailor Moon volumes 9-11 [Now just have to wait a month for vol. 12, then pick up the two short story volumes in the fall]
Hell Girl volumes 7-9 [In a 3-in-1 version, thereby completing the first series]

{For those curious, the prints were Kakashi [Naruto], Sailor Saturn [Sailor Moon], Zelda [The Legend of Zelda], Link & Dark Link [The Legend of Zelda], and Sheik [The Legend of Zelda] plus a chibi of Sailor Moon [Sailor Moon]}

EDIT: I completely forgot the Sailor Chibi Moon/Mini Moon puppet/topper/whatever that I got from a male Ranma from his duplicate grab bag (2 grab bags with identical items save for the videogame).

I feel like I spent to much money but I have ZERO regrets about that.

Also this Thorin Oakenshield plushie.



And this big squishy orange baby. <3



I learned that if you dress as a big, burly man-dwarf and buy a bunch of squishy things and MLP art, it will in fact amuse many people.

(Excuse my meh cosplay in this photo. It was Sunday at the con and the name of the game was "eyeliner beard" and "wig that needs brushing out".)

My Anime Boston Con Swag. Everything pictured was gotten at AB, except the wig head, but the stand holding it onto the table was bought from Arda Wigs. I also consider my con book swag how I collect them and its usually and is covered in autographs.
A large amount of manga this year. I didn't buy that many pins or plushies this year and I avoided figures except the phone-strap ones.

Nope, I got it in a grab bag, with my supah luck

I almost spent all of the money at the con, but (Shockingly) I did not spend all of it!

My Swag consists of:

Movies and TV Shows:

Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar Parts 1 and 2 (Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Packs)

Tiger & Bunny Set 2 (Blu-Ray)

Lupin the III: The Mystery of Mamo (DVD)

Lupin the III: Green vs. Red (DVD)

Manga:

Drifters 1-2

Ayako

Gunsmith Cats: Revised Editions 1-4

Chie from Persona 4

Elizabeth from Bioshock: Infinite

Apparel:

Anime Boston 2013 T-Shirt

My con swag:

AB Boston Strong pin
2013 Staff TShirt
Varying sticker ribbons for my badge
A TARDIS decal for my car (I have the coolest car in the parking lot now! XD)
A tiny chocobo decal for my phone
A Union Flag cell phone charm
A LoZ Ocarina
Trigun DVD

It's not a lot, but I don't typically spend a lot of money at cons. Most of it gets spent on food.

All I got was Gun X Sword on DVD, and a Sasaki Ponpoko Delivery sign that I won at a Super Sentai panel (and is now up on my corkboard right next to my badges from this year and last).

Baby Cutsew, h.Naoto T-shirt, Headbow and Heart clip from Sweet Mildred, Last Exile boxset, two games, and misc...
