About
I didn’t get to spend as much time at MetroCon this year as I would have liked, but I did my best to make sure I still went around to everything to see as much as possible for you guys. We did have to miss out on the rave and fire show this year which was so sad because they are always a hit, but we caught as much as we could.
There were disappointments, as ever, including some panels where the hosts never showed up, some panel scheduling issues and mistakes that got things confusing. That beings said, there was a lot that was amazing this year too! I saw some vendors I look forward to every year, and discovered new (or new to me) vendors as well to share with you below!
Cosplay Corner
Honestly this year there were a lot of cosplays that I wasn’t very impressed with, but these guys really seemed to work hard on their outfits and expressions to really make their looks work. If you know who people are, please shoot me a message so I can tag them properly.
Top Vendors
Lala Laurie Art
La La Laurie Art had stickers and pillows galore with some awesome fan art of some of the all-time favorite anime, movies, and video games!
Rap 1993
Rap 1993 is probably the first vendors of their kind that I’ve seen at a con, which makes them amazing! They have a lot of fan art that ranges from spicy to cutesy and are all very well done, but what caught my eye was the custom dolls! Awfully impressive, Rap1993
Spawn of Soo
As a family endeavor, Spawn of Soo Sales had a variety of fun stuff. Fanmade stickers, phone stands, and keychains, as well as mom made beanies! A very friendly and very talented family.
Moonlit Beading
Moonlit Beading does way more than just bead things in the night. They make leather bound books, themed ceramics, jewelry, and even dice!
Clockwork Carousel Creations
I try to make a point to visit at least one of Clockwork Carousel‘s panels every year. They have a vendors table but they also teach you how to create all sorts of different things. They’re a favorite for sure
Moshi Melon
Last, but certainly not least, Moshi Melon was all about the Kawai, offering totes, charms, and stickers that would make even the toughest baddies have to admit they are just so gosh darn adorable
Visit MetroCon!
MetroCon is one of my favorite conventions to go to. It was the first convention I ever went to (that was 2022) and holds a special place in my heart. I highly recommend checking out their website and coming to join the fun if you can. Their raves and fire shows are amazing, pricing is pretty good, and they tend to have some of the best vendors and great lineups for actors and voice actors. Click the button to go to their site
