The HaTsume Comics table at A-kon with the lovely Mrs.Mangler at the helm. MiniMangler snoozes while passers-by check out the artwork.
This trio won the coveted 'Mrs.Mangler Favorite Award'. Thier costumes were pretty nifty. The mermaid even has webbing between her fingers. Now that's attention to detail!
Hey, careful where you point that thing, mister!
Well if it isn't my old friend, Crono, from Cronotrigger! Frog and Ayla were seen splitting a pizza not far from here. Not to worry, Crono just went back 500 years to Italy and threatened the invention of the pizza. That'll teach 'em to eat the whole damned pie.
Then there's this loner from Slayers. What's in the paper bag, you ask? The souls of Mangler's vanquished foes. The sourceror was heard giggling, "It makes me feel tingly."
When I asked the monk why he was smiling he replied, "Huh, cuz I'm only wearing the robe... and nuttin else, heh." Hmm... that's why she's NOT smiling, I wager.
*Gasp* Look, It's HandMaid May! She'd just gotten to the Kon via (you guessed it) FedEx! Go Cyberdyne Co.!
Ryoga Hibiki graced us with his presence. He was looking for the dealer's room... from last year's kon.
Familia Mangler enjoying the kon life!
Yaya Han's second costume from FFX. Nice!
Yaya and friend, Aimee, posed for many a pic. Incidentally, their table was right besides ours. I'd never heard of Yaya, but quite a bit of the Kon crowd HAD!
Look! It's the chocobo guy from Ushicon! THIS chocobo is alot happier than last time... I think you know why...
Mangler brain fart:bbbrrappp! What anime are these ladies from?
" Yeah, I'm bad! I can smash my enemies with my mighty war hammer! Fear me!"....
..."what, what's so funny? Why are you all laughing? I'll smash your asses! Stop, STOP IT!!"
Link and Zelda warped in from Hyrule to get some shopping done in one of the two dealer rooms.

Hmmm, unfortunately, I can't quite put this character to the respective anime, a little help, maybe?

"HEY!! I think I know where this pic is from!! Its from DIGIMON!! (Piedmon)..or...(Piemon)....think its Piemon"

thanks, Dakota Templete!!

and then the stormtroopers arrived and their commander tried to force the secret of my Mangled Stare out of me. Soooo.....
...after making short work of him, I gave the troopers a taste of the Mangled Claw. It was a pretty gruesome display.
Look who I ran into! It's YOUNG, from Nekobox fame! I was sincerely glad to see these two. They were the only familiar faces to the Mangler. Yay!
Then they had to get serious and stike a pose for this site. Thanks, you two. Mangler luvs ya!
Balloon Man! Run, run for your inflated life! I saw Needle Boy just around the corner and he looked sharp!
"Hey, it'sa me, Maario!" along with his partners! Go, Toadstool!
and, of course, to all good things must come an end. MiniMangler's first kon was only a starter. See ya next year, folks!
