Pop culture fans descended on the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre for the first day of Supanova.
The gates flooded with pops of colour as fans rocked up in epic costumes including Xena Warrior Princess, an NCR Ranger from Fallout, and characters from manga series Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch.
Jessica Lynne cosplayed as Red Sonja, who is Conan the Barbarian鈥檚 battle maiden.
鈥淧eople really love the costumes even if they don鈥檛 know who exactly I was, they have liked the detail in it,鈥 she said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 taken a few months to put together. It鈥檚 always about getting the right wig, making sure you鈥檝e got the right material because she needs to look rough like a barbarian.鈥
More than 135,000 super-fans are expected to pass through the event over the weekend, with an action-packed program including celebrity meet and greets, collectables, artists and more.
Celebs who met with fans and did Q&As included Billy Zane (The Phantom, Titanic), Alex Kingston (Doctor Who, ER), Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man, Lost) and Temuera Morrison (Once Were Warriors, The Book of Boba Fett).
Meeting Mandalorian stunt double Brendan Wayne was a highlight for Star Wars fans Matthew McCracken , Jordan Davis and Brandon Davis.
They were dressed as Kylo Ren, the Mandalorian and Anakin Skywalker, respectively.
鈥淲e鈥檝e been watching Star Wars together since we were two years old,鈥 Brandon said.
鈥淥ne of the first movies I ever watched with my older cousins and then that was probably where the obsession started.
鈥淚t鈥檚 fun getting out of your normal day-to-day job and doing something a bit different.鈥
鈥淚 guess it鈥檚 just the fan interactions that we really love and seeing the young ones like light up as well that鈥檚 always been fun,鈥 Matthew added.
Supanova will be back on Sunday at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre for one more day of everything sci-fi and fantasy.
