Continuing my collection of Picard figures is the most recent 1/6 scale offering from EXO-6, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard as seen in season 3 of Star Trek: Picard.

This was pretty much a near-instant pre-order for me (fairly easy to do with a simple initial deposit). I have always been impressed by the quality and fidelity from EXO-6 and the attention to detail here is also magnificent, with an elder Picard head sculpt, a smaller and slimmer body (because he is significantly older than his First Contact iteration), and miniature tailoring that is almost unmatched.

It only comes with a couple of accessories (phaser and bottle of Chateau Picard) and alternate hands. The bottle of wine, even at such a small scale, has an embossed label it's that precise. The figure also comes with a surprise gift or the Admirals comm-badge as an enamel pin and it's gorgeous!

It's been a while since I've visited the Brighton Sunday Market (well, any market really.... damn bills and other costs). But I wanted to check out some of the new changes they've implemented going forward.

Yeah, so the indoor market section has a few teething issues (it was the first time), in any case it was nice to be back in the brisk morning air.

Video recorded 25th February 2024 on the Sony ZV-E1.

Just another chill unboxing for Admiral Picard figure by EXO-6. This arrived back in early January and I had to set it aside for weeks while I rested and worked on other things!

Just updating my show reel for 2024...

I love being creative and making things and I really enjoy expressing myself through cosplay. I also collect toys & memorabilia. I write, take photos, and create videos capturing all the geeky fun!

Every year this keeps going up later and later...

In the absence of any family or personal emergencies, I realised that I honestly just wanted to spend January doing sweet f*ck all. But now that I finally have this done and dusted I can move onto a few more pressing projects.

I'm still learning my fancy shmancy new camera (Sony ZV-E1) so this is going to be a tad rougher than usual. A few glitches have popped up but I ain't rendering for a third time (bloody power drop out). Please watch in 4K if you can.

After a forced hiatus, AVCon returns to celebrate its 21st year!

Although I had been making costumes before then, back in 2009, AVCon was my very first convention ever and so this event hold a special little place in my geekiness. Thank you to everyone who made the weekend enjoyable for this old fool and big thanks to all those who kindly took the time to participate in this video.

Bringing this one out again to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Peter Cullen! The legendary voice of Optimus Prime turns 82 today!

(of course this is still my favourite cosplay moment of all time 😁)

You can watch video from this photoshoot here!

I made another thing.

With apologies to Neil Gaiman.

This scene has played out *almost* every year (minus obvious exceptions) since 2009. In the same parking structure, the same section of the parking lot, the same few parking spots, three different cars, numerous cosplays.

Although I had been making costumes before then, AVCon 2009 was my very first convention and pretty much where it all began for me. Sometimes it's with a partner, often on my own. It happens in the morning, it happens in the middle of the day to change into my second cosplay like a diva but always this same ritual of suiting up behind my car, buckling myself in, and psyching myself up for the next few hours. It's the quiet before the storm, my meditation, my ritual.

It's been played out many times since that first time, at many events, in many carparks, and I am most certain I am not the only one. But I just wanted to capture this moment, this tradition, one more time just in case it's my last.

So much fun and absolutely hilarious, I can't believe Mattel let them get away with any of that! 😅

I debuted my War for Cybertron Optimus Prime cosplay in 2013 and after so many events, repairs, and upgrades over the years I eventually retired him at the end of 2018. But after five years in storage, I realised it was now his 10th anniversary of those first few steps and so I decided to bring the big fella out of retirement just one more time to celebrate his birthday!

Turn on captions for best experience.

Massive thanks to Rowan, Sean, and Thorin for all their assistance with "wrangling" Optimus on the day. And thank you to everyone at Oz Comic-Con for making Prime's one-time-only back from retirement party so much fun!

"Stick to the classics and you can't ever go wrong."

Did you spot my quartet of old faves at Adelaide Oz Comic-Con over the weekend. Please tag and share any photos or videos you took of me, I'd love to see them. OR maybe you were accosted by one of my incarnations for a bit of video (yep Optimus has a camera on him too). In that case keep an eye out on my socials for when I upload my cosplay music video(s), hopefully in the next week.

A massive thank you to everyone who made the weekend at Adelaide OzCC so much fun. It was a great and energetic two days of geekiness that I always love and look forward to every year! And especially thank you to all the wonderful and positive reactions to my cosplays, it makes this old fool feel seen again.
