Cosplay @ Armageddon Expo 2014

Armageddon Expo Christchurch 2014

On Saturday 8th March and Sunday 9th March 2014 the Christchurch Stables room at the Addington Raceway came to life with the bustling and shuffling of literally 1,000s of people pushing their way through.  Gamers, geeks, cosplayers, families and people from all over came to view what was on offer as far as Gaming and Anime was concerned.  On offer were Madman anime screenings along with their anime stall.  There were many stalls and my son was thrilled to get his hands on a Plush Plants vs Zombies zombie.  "mmmm...Brainz!"

Exactly like this one:
