This year at San Diego Comic-con, we invaded Wired Café and we did it in yellow leotards and thigh high boots. That’s right, my crew decided on a group cosplay and we dressed as Beyonce’s back up dancers from Coachella. We got to chill out from the San Diego sun for a few hours, enjoying cocktails, beers snacks and occasionally taking photos with people– thank you, Wired Café!
The Dragon Ball North America Tour, presented by Funimation, Bandai and Toei Animation, launched the exhibition at San Diego Comic Con 2018. The installation features a life-sized replica of the World Martial Arts Tournament– a triennial tournament of the “strongest under the heavens” and a central event in the 34-year-old Dragon Ball franchise. Fans can look at a collection of merchandise, memorabilia, play the Dragon Ball Super Card Game or the video game, Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Including this amazing animated GIF photobooth! Click below to see more photos from the installation.
The cast of Arrow boarded the #IMDBboat, which included Stephen Amell, Colton Hayes, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Juliana Hakarvy, Rick Gonzales and Echo Kellum.
