The PropCon brings together more than 80 vendors, artists, prop builders, makers, and exhibitors for a weekend of props, cosplay, collectibles, entertainment, and hands-on attractions. Guests can meet the people who actually design, print, sculpt, build, sew, paint, and fabricate the things on display and many will be demonstrating their work live.
We’ll also have actor and stunt performer Martin Klebba from Pirates of the Caribbean, T. Brooklyn Bellissimo with a screen-used Saw Reverse Bear Trap and stories from decades of practical effects, armored combat, live comedy, cosplay, gaming, giant themed photo ops and plenty of family entertainment.
And there are some opportunities that practically demand a camera: a mechanical alligator, a mechanical pickle, an eight-foot Bumblebee, giant characters, and a convention floor filled with colorful handmade work.
