So I did the WonderCon lottery. Scott Snyder any Batman ninja autographs. My sister got Ready Player One!
If someone going to the con is planning on swinging by the Anovos booth, might I ask of you to ask them a couple things while you're there? (Getting straight answers from their online chat reps is almost impossible.) Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Sending you a PM about it. : )Oh, oh, oh. I'm going, let me, let me! I always ask them pointed questions like, When are you going to ship The Trek jacket or can I hold a Galactica jacket?

Thanks so much for the offer, but it got sorted. Hope you have a great weekend!I do plan to speak with them. I have a 3 day pass but some family drama that sucks. Someone here too forgot to get a badge so drama ensues...
Anovos sums up as "Manufacturing Problems", turns out they are a small company and the clothing factories in China favor the big guys. It's difficult finding a manufacture small enough to take on a small co like Anovos AND keep the quality constant. This is the reason behind most of their problems:
Star Lord Jacket: Will be leather. Any rumors about changing to vinyl, came from Anovos having to change manufactures. Which means this will be delayed, probably months.
That's why I always give them a lot of leeway when it comes to delays and such. The few times I've dealt with manufacturers over there, and hearing the stories of what went on behind the scenes at Master Replicas, is enough to know that they are at the mercy of their suppliers. There's a HUGE gap in difficulty between getting a manufacturer to do cheap cosplay stuff and doing accurate, quality items. Anovos do still have a problem with communication though, because their online reps say one thing, and their con personnel seem to say another.
Question though: They actually confirmed to you that the Star Lord jacket will be real leather? They were actually supposed to be vinyl from the start, which drew some criticism. So if they in fact have swapped to leather, that will be great news for all those who ordered, even if it gets delayed a few months.
Thanks for getting the info!

WonderCon and San Diego Comic Con don't have alcohol served on site. However, a quick jump to any of the neighboring hotels, and there's plenty of bars to get your fix.I went Fri/Sat/Sun and had a great time.
They had plenty of shuttles to the Honda Center and the people running things seemed well organised.
On a whim I came as Dr Jones again on Sunday, which was cool because as soon as I got there I fell in with a large group of Indiana Jones cosplayers and we all participated in two professional photo shoots. (My first time doing one.)
If I have one complaint is that there didn't seem to be any alcohol on site. I very much enjoyed some good IPA at Long Beach Comic Expo, which helped my Hopper stay in character.
