There’s a toy giveaway and Mario sans moustache certainly
attracts the crowds, especially when he acts up to receive freebies and they
persuade him to catch one in his cap. It turns out to be the usual Kinder Egg
plastic rubbish, only it’s slightly bigger and it’s in a square plastic box
with cardboard packaging. I’m introduced to my friend’s friend and we go and
check out some model toys and we continue our tour of the convention. I take a
shine to the Steampunk corner. I’ve never heard of it before. It’s based
on someone’s novel and it’s all based in the Victorian era but everything runs
on steam no matter how futuristic it is. People wear waistcoats and goggles
combined with top hats which are presumably used when they operate their
machinery. Wood is used instead of plastic while metal is still the dominant
material and women wear corsets because of all the steam.
