Thought it would be nice to have a place on the forum where people could share their highlights of Wales Comic Con 2012. Who did you meet on the day and who were your favorite guests/ what were your favorite talks?My personal highlights of the day were: * I had the pleasure of sitting with Thomas Nicholas on the day who was a lovely, friendly guy who had a smile on his face all day long. He was wonderful with everyone who came up to him and I am so glad I got to meet him and see him perform at the after party. I would absolutely love it if he were to come again. One of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. * Meeting Anthony Head, as a Buffy fan I have wanted to meet him for a very long time, I was a bit nervous though and didn't have the courage to talk to him for too long lol * Craig Parker (and more specifically - his arms, wow!)  * The photo studio - very impressed with it this year. I loved that we were able to choose a photo from three options, I hope this happens at the next one. As I was busy all day I didn't get the chance to see any of the talks but would love to hear some of the highlights from them if anybody would like to share x

My highlights from Wales Comic Con. Wow. It's hard to narrow it down, but:
* The Game Of Thrones guests. They were all incredible, and very friendly and chatty. Especially Gethin Anthony and Finn Jones, who were absolutely brilliant.
* Thomas Ian Nicholas was a cracking guest, and very friendly. I spent a fair bit of time with him (especially since Elaine was his pa, and she's awesome), and even earned a new moniker (waterboy). An absolute gent.
*The atmosphere itself was just amazing. It was friendly, well organised, and just extremely enjoyable. I can't wait for next year.

Definitely meeting Anthony Head (big Buffy and Merlin fan) and Jerome (I am old enough to remember Soldier,Soldier!!). My son was a bit unsure at first but soon got into going and asking for auto's and was so happy when he went for his photo with Craig Fairbrass he remembered his name ! ;D The whole thing was enjoyable and will definitely do it again ;D Wonder who the guests will be next time.........??

My main reason for going was because of Gethin Anthony. He's like a rare bird in terms of opportunities to meet him and so my decision was made. Him and the rest of the GoT were what made my day absolutely fantastic as well as the people I met throughout the day. Definitely coming back next year!

Warwick Davis absolutely made my day, what a national treasure he is, and such a gent  Robert Llewellyn also, such a down to earth and approachable bloke |

Billy West Q&A was super highlight for me, especially when he did the Zoidberg hand wiggle. But yeah super stoked from that! Photo ops with red dwarf guys were funny - and yes being able to choose your favourite shot was awesome too. My friend is the GoT fan not me, but still thought Gethin & Finn were bloody lovely guys and enjoyed the Q&A too |

Highlights:
People I met:
I am a massive Buffy fan so it was an honour to Meet Tony Head as I heard a lot about him, I just got too star struck to move or even talk... Bonnie was amazing too, so sweet and lovely to talk to. Warwick was lovely too.
Photo shoots:
I had 4 photo shoots throughout the day, first one being Gareth. He pulled some silly faces and I didn't so he suggested to take another 3, that was good. Robert was lovely, very happy and cheerful and seemed genuine. Craig Fairbrass was nice too, everyone was lovely!
Talks
Due to clashes of photos and talks, I missed the torchwood talk but managed to make the red dwarf one. It was a great talk, funny and we even had an exclusive clip from RDX, was overall a fantastic talk.
I also enjoyed meeting the other geeks and attendees, I had a great time and will definitely be attending in the future unless the venue moves too far away

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people, but I feel the highlights for me were meeting Anthony Head, John Challis and the gorgeous Virginia Hey. What a lady she was. She spent so much time talking with me and took a genuine interest in what I had to say. Lovely, lovely person. John Challis was great. My youngest son was thrilled as he is such a big Only Fools fan. He was a lovely, funny guy. As for Anthony Head....wow. I've been in love with him since the Gold Blend adverts lol. He's still very sexy. ;D Didn't say much to him though for some reason.......  |

;D Didn't say much to him though for some reason....... I know, i was the same but i physically couldnt talk but when i found the courage to go back he wasnt too chatty (my guess he was exhausted by that point though) |
