On the last day of this year's Fantasy Basel, a number of cosplayers are once again making an appearance at the gates of Messe Basel. It seems that the crowds are bigger today than on previous days. A queue of fans and visitors has formed in front of the entrance, stretching all the way to the local tram stop. At 9.30 a.m. the time has come and the halls are filling up again. You don't have to wait long before familiar faces and figures start to appear. From Deadpool and Darth Vader to Sailer Moon, everything is represented again.

The highlights of today are clearly the costumes. We particularly liked Iron Man's Hulkbuster, Lelo "Fitfth Element", Ohngesicht "Chihiro's Journey to Wonderland", Lara Croft "Tomb Raider", the Orc Lady "World of Warcraft" and the clowns from "Pay Day" (see photo gallery above).

There was also plenty going on at our Disney stand. Ulrich Schröder drew Disney characters by the metre and our exhibited products were well received. Visitors were delighted with our vouchers and were thrilled with the Lego "Avangers", "Star Wars" and BB8 products.

All in all, we can say that we spent three extremely interesting days at Fantasy Basel. We are now one experience richer and hope to have remained in the thoughts of this Community. After all, we also offer a suitable range for die-hard fans.

Since 9.30 a.m., we have once again been ready for the cosplayers, comic fans, gamers and film fanatics gathered here. Our video blogger is also out and about today, capturing the unique experience for you all in moving images. In addition to the countless costumed people, she has also had the absolute hardcore fans and star guests, such as the well-known Disney illustrator Ulrich Schröder, in front of her lens. Once again, we were particularly impressed by those who made their beautiful costumes entirely by themselves, using extremely high-quality materials. We will soon be sharing the resulting video here - for all those who missed the fair, but also for those who want to reminisce. And now we're looking forward to today's cosplay contest finale, which was already one of the highlights yesterday.

We have added the latest snapshots to the gallery above. Have fun clicking through.

We've been here at the trade fair since this morning and are absolutely overwhelmed! The highlight of the fair is definitely the visitors themselves. So many costumed people exchanging and presenting themselves here. It's worth it just to walk through the grounds and marvel at the people. Among the visitors we find everything from the smallest, cutest, dressed-up child to older, particularly loyal fans. The audience is also very international. Visitors have great fun trying out all the games and having their picture taken in the photo corners. In addition to the Disney stand, which offers many highlights as described in the article below, we have the perfect view of a truly "giant-sized" replica of a Star Wars spaceship from here.

We were out and about for you and captured the highlights. You can find the best photos in the gallery above.

I love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
