Creative Cosplays Joins FanExpo Philadelphia for the First Time


FanExpo Philadelphia 2025 was a major milestone for us—it marked our first time exhibiting at the event, and the experience blew us away. Hosted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the three-day convention was packed with passionate fans, cosplayers, creators, and a celebrity lineup that could rival a movie premiere.

We were honored to be part of the Communities Area, stationed right near the celebrity signing section and directly across from a show-stopping Back to the Future DeLorean photo op. Each day, fans gathered for the chance to see Christopher Lloyd himself climb into the iconic car for photo ops—a surreal sight we never got tired of.


Supporting the FanExpo Red Carpet Cosplay Photo Experience


While we didn’t host a formal Cosplay Meet & Greet, we were thrilled to help support FanExpo’s Red Carpet Cosplay Photo Ops. With the talents of photographer Raymond (@RLH_ARW), we captured amazing cosplay moments all weekend long.

From anime heroes and gaming icons to sci-fi legends and original characters, the cosplay community showed up in full force—and the red carpet brought out their best.



Huge Celebrity Lineup at FanExpo Philadelphia


This year’s FanExpo Philadelphia celebrity guest list was one of the biggest we’ve seen. Highlights included:


  • Christopher Lloyd

  • John Cena

  • Mel Gibson

  • John Boyega

  • William Shatner

  • Andy Serkis

  • Giancarlo Esposito

  • Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin!)


...along with dozens of top voice actors and fan-favorite media guests. Whether you were into Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Boys, or classic 80s and 90s fandoms, there was something here for everyone.


Connecting with Cosplayers and Fans


One of the most rewarding parts of the weekend was seeing familiar faces from our magazine. Many cosplayers who had been featured in Creative Cosplays stopped by our booth to sign their issues, take photos, and meet fans. It was a full-circle moment that reminded us why we created this platform in the first place.

We also made new connections and introduced the magazine to a fresh wave of attendees—many of whom left with a copy and interest in future features.



Thank You, Philadelphia!


To every fan, creator, and supporter who stopped by our table—thank you. Your energy, support, and passion inspire us more than you know. FanExpo Philly made us feel welcome from day one, and we can’t wait to come back in the future.
