The comments on this reel and many other posts show that we Telugites are the ones who can always be manipulated with ease.

Forget the political angle. What's eating at me is that protesting is a basic right of everyone, and it is being taken away from the people of the greatest democratic country in the world.

It was my first time attending Comic Con and tbh it was fun for me. What was your experience? And I know the outfit is not a proper costume ofc.. but had to work with what was available.

Had a great time at Comic Con Vizag, but WHAT were those action figure prices?

I visited Comic Con Vizag today, and honestly, I had a pretty good time! The staff were cool, the concerts and cosplays were great, and the stand-up comedy was entertaining too. Overall, the event itself was fun, and I'm glad I went.

However, as someone who's been collecting action figures for around 5 years, I was genuinely shocked by the prices at most of the stalls selling collectibles. Lmao, I don't think I've ever seen so many overpriced figures in one place.

What made it even funnier was that a lot of these stalls were selling bootleg figures and katanas while presenting themselves like some kind of Otaku Heaven. Bro, how are you going to sell bootleg figures at ridiculous prices and expect collectors not to notice?

I'm not expecting every stall to sell everything at the lowest online price. I understand that sellers have expenses, and conventions are a place where people can discover and purchase collectibles in person. But there's a difference between charging a reasonable premium and pricing things as if you're selling some rare, premium collectible when they're actually bootlegs that can be found for much less elsewhere.

That said, not every stall was like this. There were a few shops, like Wow Heads, that had decent pricing, and I appreciate that. It's nice to see sellers who offer reasonable prices instead of relying on the convention atmosphere to convince people to buy things impulsively.

My main concern is that newcomers to collecting might see a figure they like, buy it without knowing the market price, and later discover that they could've gotten it for significantly less. If you're new to collecting, please do some price comparisons before spending your money!

Despite all this, I genuinely enjoyed the event. The concerts, stand-up comedy, and overall atmosphere were great. I just wish the merchandise stalls offered better value, especially for collectors looking for actual action figures rather than overpriced bootlegs.

So I went to Comic Con Vizag (CCV) on Day 1. Tbh, I went with zero expectations cos the city didn’t have any hype for this event unlike other cities. I’ve attended enough comic cons to be able to compare and yes CCV has a long way to go. But what I found fun were the people. Most of them weren’t anime fans or didn’t know all the pop culture references, but everyone was such a great sport! Everyone had a wonderment and innocence in their eyes, which I seldom see in bigger cities. Usually Comic con would be fun for me due to the artists, shows and stalls etc. But CCV was fun for me because of the people that attended it. If any one of you noticed me at the venue, Hey back at you.
