Had planned to go to the TNT GT3 2009 for three days but i ended up only going the last day. Saturday i got sick, really sick! I spent all Friday night hugging the toilet and puking my guts out. When they say don’t drink the water they mean it! It always happens to me, i drink something while out that has been made with tap water and i get super sick. Last time I was in Merida I drank Lemonade and i got sick for an entire day. This time it was Horchata, which was really good but ended up making me pretty sick in the end. So Saturday we ended up staying in the entire day.

Later that night i got to meet up with my cousin Marisol. It’s me in the pink, Marisol in the blue (aint she adorable?) On my left it’s Alberto or Beto for short and on the right it’s Rodrigo. The boys are brother’s and my aunt’s sons and Marisol is my uncle’s daughter. While i missed the con for the day seeing spending time at the bar with my cousin’s just chilling was just so awesome. The next day i assumed we’d go to the con but instead we went to Teotihuacan shown in the first picture of the post.

Finally we got to the con on Monday the last day and my mind was blown. Tickets were $70 pesos which was about $4USD. Not a bad price at all. First thing i noticed was a booth with some very nasty figures. When i say nasty i meant oh boy they were bad. Not sure if they were made by that person or what but just look at poor Yoko’s face. Now that’s officially a Yoko figure I won’t own.

There were tons of booths that sold plenty of Comic book, video game and movie characters. Nothing that really interested me but i was still surprised at the diversity of stuff there.

I will admit i’ve never seen so many bootleg figures in one place. I didn’t see one Original Nendoroid there the entire con and I felt bad for the poor souls who may have bought them and didn’t know. But then no one listened to me when i told them they were fake, like as if they didn’t care at all. I mean how is it possible that every booth had four or five boxes of the Wonfes Haruhi Bunny Nendos when they are impossible to get?

The artist alley was pretty meager and didn’t have much to offer, there was a small stage for karaoke but no one was singing so we didn’t stay. Also there was a small room that was showing Real Drive dubbed in Spanish. Totally love a con that shows fansubs! Also walking through the Exhibit hall part it was hard to avoid seeing snippets of my favorite shows like how so many were playing Gundam 00 ep 17.

A cute Sakura Cosplayer, she seemed so happy that i wanted to take her picture gut her friends were making such fun of her when i did ask. Poor thing.

Had to take a picture of a fellow Amu cosplayer, i didn’t go in cosplay as in that neither did i have luggage space nor did i know how people would treat me if i had to walk around mexico in full on amu cosplay.

When i saw this i lol’d so freaking hard, they wrote Suzumiya the way it would have been spellt in Spanish since Double L is like Y for those of you who don’t know.

Lots of booths had stuff dedicated to Mario. i wish i got a star but i ran out of money by the time i saw this booth.

Seemed like they enjoyed the same main favorites we enjoy here in the US. Lots of Dragonball, Lots of Cowboy Bebop. Oh boy are they huge Narutards, I’ve never seen so many Naruto fans in one place, not even at Anime Expo.

This booth had plenty of Domo-Kun stuff but it didn’t seem like they really understood what he was even from and just bought him cause he had a silly face and was from japan.

Sadly i didn’t take as many pictures as i wanted of the con because halfway through some guy comes up and tells me they have a no camera policy and i have to stop taking pictures. Which really is the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard, but i wasn’t about to argue with the man and get my camera taken away. The con was fun but at the same time was really just a big exhibit hall. They did have a section for bands to play but they were terrible cover bands who couldn’t sing in Japanese at all unlike Makenai, (But then i think Makenai is pretty awesome.) The other bands were bad Visual Key bands who couldn’t sing. So the concerts part wasn’t worth spending any time seeing. Oh and since we went on the last day I’m guessing Megumi Ogata had left by then cause she was nowhere to be seen, and i really wanted her autograph as well. i would have to say the con was awesome but i don’t think I’d make the trip again just for the con. When i’ve got Anime Expo so close there isn’t really anything about it to make me ant to come back. But if i did live in Mexico I wouldn’t miss it for anything. I would just make sure you know how to spot a Bootleg figure before going or you’ll end up wasting your money. I did however find a booth that had all original figures and i ended up snagging something something amazing, for an amazing price! Which you’ll find out what she is tomorrow once i post my review!
