NYCC 2024: Sunday- More Cosplay, more of My Riddler, and Diamond Select Toys!

Sunday was, of course, the last day of New York Comic Con 2024. It was packed as hell and equally as fun! 

Below and above are some of my favorite cosplays that I saw on this day:

I came back as the Riddler again loved the reaction I was getting being him! I shall return as the Riddler, this year for sure! Here are pics of me with other DC cosplayers.

Speaking of other DC cosplayers from the DC Cosplayers East meetup, here are pics of me and the rest of us posing in group DC pics.
NOTE: these pics are taken by the photog from DC Cosplayers East and are from  both Saturday and Sunday.

These are some of the collectibles that caught my eye on this day over at Diamond Select Toys:

Finally this is the swag, that I got on this final day:
Yes, I bought even more Masters of the Universe Origin figures from that one awesome booth:
Jitsu
He-Man
Mer-Man (Lords of the Power version, which is the original name for this classic line. And, this is the original concept version of Mer-Man.)
G.I, Joe Classified- Gnawgahyde, Porkbelly, and Yobbo (so, I was looking Joe deals all four days and finally found this one only booth that had any. I got this set at a killer price! I hope this year has better Joe deals. I promise to buy more if they do.)

And, that is the end. I had an amazing time, even if lack of work means I was strapped for cash. I loved being Logan again and loved being the Riddler even more! I will definitely bring him back later this year, as I mentioned earlier here. I might also bring back Logan, too. We shall see what happens.

Were any of you at NYCC on Sunday? If so what were your highlights? Let me know in the comments section below. I'm already looking forward to October 2025 NYCC! And, if you see me there be sure to say hi!
