After reading this entire thread in one go I have a suspicion that Stenun is actually John Thaw in disguise.

Even though it isn't for me this is a yet another great guest. This year's line up seems.really diverse with so many quality guests. I prefer spending time on these forums as the comments on Facebook make my blood boil. I'm noticing a pattern. Public - We don't just want GOT or Star Wars guests, announce someone different. Showmasters - Here is a star of a successful well loved TV show. Public - But I don't watch that show! This is rubbish *rolls eyes*

I have shelves overflowing with amazing comics and graphic novels but this is by far the best thing I've ever read. *starts slow clap*

And she can make Shields!!!!!

I think I have it! So someone that would be a great first time signer and makes sense in a joint shoot. Plus queen just said 'burn the witch'. I'm going Elizabeth Olsen. She played scarlet witch in Avengers and had a really great scene with Hawkeye. Did I win?

A few more guesses. Not sure if they have signed before. Selma Blair (Hellboy joint shoot) Anthony Daniels (C3P0 and R2D2) Dean-Charles Chapman (2 kings GOT Throne shoot) Mark Heap (a Green Wing shoot with Gomez? ) Also has anyone mentioned Eddie Murphy in this thread?

I think James Marsden is a good shout. Not sure if he is a first timer?

Has Cary Elwes done a UK con before? He would be an awesome guest and a Saw pic with Bell would be great. Especially if they had a green screen of the room from the first film.

Many years ago at a Showmasters event I got to meet Corey Haim. He hadn't aged at all and I was so excited as Lost Boys is one of my all time favourite films. He was so chatty and friendly and seemed interested in everyone he spoke to. I still have my Lost Boys pic he signed to me and as one of my first showmasters experiences it's still one of my most treasured.

I don't post often on the forums but feel I have to with this. There are already people saying who? Or they don't think it's a huge guest or too expensive. I'll be honest from the clues I had a feeling it would be Jeremy but prepared myself to not be able to afford it but blimey Showmasters you have made my day. Not only is he Hawkeye but Hurt Locker is one of my favourite films. He is a huge name and is so relevant right now and I can't quite believe the price and what value for money it is. Photoshoot has been booked and I can't believe I'm gonna meet an Avenger. No matter what the grumpy spoilsport may say the truth is people like me are over the moon. Thank you thank you thank you.

SUE WHITE!!!!!

I have a couple signed. I find its easier to take it out the box and flatten it so it's easier to carry. I know people on here are against ever opening them but it stops the box getting dented and also if it somehow decreases the value I'm not fussed as I'd never sell anything I got signed. They are easy to display so if you are running low on Wall space it makes more sense than getting a poster or pic signed. I never get dvds signed as again they don't display that well and will one day go the same way as vhs.

*crosses fingers for Nathan Fillion

According to twitter their name contains a T which means no John Simm, Andy Serkis, Simon Peggy, Bruce Campbell, Corey Feldman or Gillian Anderson. There can't be that many options left but there are still some epic people it could be. Oooh this is exciting.

I know some people moan but I bloody love these build ups and guessing games. For me the dream would be either Nathan Fillion or Misha Collins. But for fun here are some previous guests I'm not sure people have mentioned yet? Andy Serkis (so many fandoms) Burt Reynolds (diamond pass photo with Bandit please) Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, enough said) Danny Trejo (he'd confirm by email as 'Machete don't text') John Simm (Forget Dr Who and Life on Mars, I'd get a Human Traffic poster signed!)

Question about the diamond pass. Both my wife and I have entry tickets, if she buys a diamond pass (it's her dream guest) can she do the prop shoot and I do the normal one? She's in a sharing mood. :-)

Gonna agree with the theme of daredevil and say Jon Bernthal. He is a big guest for a build up but not quite diamond status and is gonna be the Punisher in the new series. Will also keep TWD and movie fans happy as he was awesome in Fury and Wolf of Wall Street

Wow!!! There really are some Buzz Killingtons on here. I love the build ups. I enjoy the guessing and the chat and it's handy to know I won't miss anyone. Am I going to book to meet every guest? No. But I still acknowledge how awesome it must be for certain people. If you think about your dream guests I bet they aren't all A List and wouldn't interest others but that's the beauty of these shows. Diversity. What people need to realise is that by coming on here and moaning that Showmasters haven't been through your dvd collection to check exactly who you require to be there, that you are ruining the experience and excitement of others. Don't like the guest, move on. Don't like the build up, don't follow the forums. I actually enjoy its as it's gets me excited and even if a guest isn't for me I know one will come along soon that will. Just chill out peeps. No one is forcing you to attend. Anyway. Awesome you have Matthew. At an awesome price to. I'm off to watch Dead Man's Curve to celebrate.

If you change at Gatwick it takes just over 2. That's the route I used to use for Reading festival. :-) With respect, I checked all routes on the trainline site, even putting in via Gatwick and it's over 3hrs inc 3 changes, via North Camp & Reigate and costs more! I checked on thetrainline site and tried all kinds of routes. In fact afaik even driving would take about 2hrs. I can take the train to London for £17 return and get there in about 30mins. Ah well best book my tickets for Joshcon! Was just trying to help people out so I checked the national rail app for the day of the con. The 6.34 am from Reading goes direct to Gatwick and gets in at 7.50 and then the 8.11 from Gatwick gets to Brighton at 8.45. 2 hours 11 minutes including changes. Hope this helps and you get to meet George.

That sounds like Headshot clothing. They normally have a stall at most cons and do awesome horror designs. I have a couple myself. Hope this is it? http://headshot.clothing/

Also seeing a man dressed as a lego brick

There were a few for me 1- bumping in to Robert Englund and him saying how he can't find his photoshoot area first thing on Friday 2- Me looking lost in a random corridor and a guy dressed as daredevil showing me which way to go, as I walked off he shouted 'I'm blind yet can still find my way around better than you' 3- getting in a lift with Animal and Brutus Beefcake on their way to a photoshoot and Brutus making fart noises in the lift to make everyone laugh. I bloody love comic con

I think when a guest loosens up like Lena and Robert do it gives a whole different feel to the photoshoot. If a guest is stiff and doesn't interact it can almost feel like having a picture with a prop. 2 of my favourites were Peter Dinklage who had so much fun with his shoots and Sarah Wayne Callies who gave me a massive hug for mine. My wife said it looks like an official engagement photo!

I normally go for 8x10s but also this year I'm getting my OUTATIME licence plate signed by Lloyd and a Freddy vinyl pop signed by Englund. Also a good friend of mine is a huge huge fan of Clockwork Orange so I'm getting a poster signed by Malcolm McDowell and putting it by for his Christmas present. 😀
