Robot Claw

Today was day 1 of New York Comic Con. This is the 7th (8th?) year we are attending.

For the first time this year Thursday is an open attendance day (as opposed to just VIP and press/industry passes). In other words, the place was mobbed from the start.

The con is bigger than ever. As always there’s (much) more than can be seen in one day, so we spent the 5+ hours we attended today in the main hall.

We saw an amazing giant Smaug head:

Countless cool retro toys:

Incredibly expensive comics:

Many, many cosplayers:

This thing:

This other thing:

And these girls:

Then there was this ancient, obsolete, near-useless and probably non-working computer that I really want to buy:

We spent many dollars and acquired many things. Including probably something for you!

I also picked up many 3DS street passes. With so many gamers and geeks walking around, you can pick up 10 in seconds just walking the floor…

It was a long day (we awoke at 5) and ultimately by day’s end we were ruined. With so much left to see and do the next three days we didn’t want to wear ourselves out too soon 🙂

Oh, and we saw a horse on the way back to our hotel:
