You know i will be there! Unfortunately the mark III will not be ready for this year, but kryptoboy will be there with me in his ninja turtle costume http://www.therpf.com/f24/michelange...05/index4.html
We will definitely be checking out your booth!
I'll be there. I doubt I'll finish the War Machine for Fan Expo.
I don't want to rush that costume like the Mark III.
hmmm, I want to go as something...ah wel..
I'll see you guys there.
I'll be there, hanging with this bunch of nerds:
But I'll have a few other outfits I'll be wearing, Wolverine, Wolverine, and I might bring a Wolverine... maybe.
Wow, intense...
We'll be there. not sure about costumes... Cant wait for Fan Expo!!!!!!!
Not sure if I'm making it this year or not. I damn near died last year in my felt coat for Captain John Hart last year. lol
I'll be there as Raiden from MGS4 on Saturday and one other undetermined day. Redoing most of the costume as I had problems with it at Anime North, but I should finish it in time.
Awsome come say hey everyone, I'll be at the "devils latex" booth. We are the guys who make masks and props. I got some cool stuff fr this years show.

Almost a month until... That's right FAN EXPO!!!
Who's excited???? I can't wait!!
I'm so in for this, I'll wearing my TK suit and my animated ARF clone!!
So seeing as fan expo is next weekend, is anyone else making an appearence?
I'll be there, but working and not in costume (in the Festival of Fear horror side at the Medallion Press booth).
Will totally be there, but unfortunately, no time to finish my planned costume in time =(
We posted this on our Facebook Group page a few days ago...
Come see UD Replicas at The Fan Expo, Aug 25-28 in Toronto, Canada. We'll be in the Rue Morgue section in booth #1343.
The beautiful Liana K will be joining us and donning a full white leather motorcycle suit from a galaxy far far away...
See you all there!
David
Awesome, I should be there with a Scarecrow mask on, haha. If anyone recognizes me, feel free to come say what's up, I'd love to meet some fellow members. Here's what I look like.

I had a great time.
My highlights:
1. Seeing the stunning work of 'Universal Designs'. I was pleased to see so many people interested in David's motorcycle suits and costumes. They truly go beyond being virtually 100% screen accurate(and then some). David Pea's integration of molded kevlar body armour into the suits is absolutely unique for so many reasons. Even for a 'non-biker' like myself, the suits David produces are unrivaled as costume pieces alone.
2. I met Lance Henriksen outside the main entrance. I’m walking around with my buddy, looking for a bloody water fountain that worked, and there’s Lance Henriksen walking straight towards us, literally. I couldn’t pass up the chance to shake his hand. He was totally cool.
3. My 15 minute conversation with Joseph Mallozzi. Without a doubt, the highlight for me personally. I don’t think many people knew he and Carl Binder were there. I’m pretty sure they were not announce at guests. By pure fluke I recognized him, being a huge Stargate fan. He was at the Space channel booth. Unbelievable. He asked me what my favourite episode was and said there’s too many. I told him how I had always hoped for the return of the Tollans. I felt like an idiot afterwards realizing that he didn't write any of the Tollan episodes. Because I’m a huge ‘behind the scenes fan, I asked him a ton of questions and he was so cool. Go figure he even took a picture of me and said he’ll put it on his blog. Then he introduced me to Carl Binder. I couldn’t believe it. As a longtime Stargate SG-1 fan, this was a 1 in a million chance kind of thing. It was like meeting 2 heroes.
My day was made after that. Well worth my $43 and the BS organization of the ticket sales I had to deal with.
My Lowpoints:
1. The BS organization of the ticket sales. I bought an advance ticket for myself and my buddy didn’t. As many of you found out, the trek to buy tickets, through the underground shipping entrance across the street was a little ridiculous, but that’s OK, I accept lineups. What I raised a stink about was there REFUSAL to let me enter the same entrance as my friend, yet I had the advanced ticket. We had to walk all the way back to the North entrance. Anyway, it wasn’t very convenient for anyone who attended with friends or family who did not use the same method of purchasing tickets.
2. My last living grandparent died at 3pm today. Right after I was having one of the most satisfying days of my life. At least it happened after all the great stuff. Anyway, she went quietly and painlessly.
It’s incredibly funny and ironic to me because I met Joe Mallozzi(I still can’t believe the odds of that) and Lance Henriksen, about 1 hour after being so angry I vowed to my buddy I would never attend Fan Expo again, and about 1 hour before the bad news. Life is really an interesting chance.
See you next year!

Had a great time this past weekend. This was my 1st Con in costume and I must say it was fantastic. I managed to meet David like many others and was absolutely stunned at the craftsmanship of his suits!!!!. He also hinted what his hopefully soon project will be and I likes! Not sure if David will read the thread but I'd love to see the pics (if any) of my buddy Andy who showed up as Darth Maul to try on your suit. Here's a few shots in costume. I may have met some of yous and if so hello again! My family accompanied me and were dressed as (wife) BikerScout, Uhura, and boussh my daughter was a sock monkey and BikerScout and uhura when my wife was not in it and my son was umm....kingdom of hearts something or rather.

Hey everyone Fan Expo 2011 was a GREAT time, seen alot of cool costumes, and I would like to post some of cool costumes and props from this years expo
![]()
I was there on Saturday dressed in my Kyle Reese Future Resistance costume:
(I'm on the right).
I brought a Nerf Longshot with me (that I repainted to look like an Endo plasma rifle)...
But Toronto's Finest told me it was causing a disturbance as I walked up Front St. with it- they said they received several 911 calls about a "man in combat fatigues walking up the street with a large gun!"
What a World.
Whole point of being dressed like this was to meet Michael Biehn; which I did-
Except I had to come right out and tell him who I was dressed as.
Anyway I spent a lot of time hanging around the UD Replicas booth as I've known David for a few years now. Let me say the new Stormtrooper leather jackets ROCK!
Some more pics:
Marie-Claude Bourbonnais as "Hornet" of the "Heroes of the North" web series.
Macho Man- this guy had Randy Savage's mannerisms down to a T (however he needs to work on the voice a bit).
David and two fans trying on jackets at the UD Replicas booth.
And the Hero fighting robot from "Real Steel". I watched the two trailers and actually think they might have made a decent film here.

Hey guys.
I made it out to the Sunday on the last day of the event. I even cosplayed as The Black Power Ranger, bringing my old costume out of retirement.
It isn't the best costume but it served it's purpose and I had so much fun goofing around in it with people.
It's a great costume to get away with shenanigans lol
My friend made a video of the experience.
check it out via YouTube:
