Tokyo Ghoul Booth

Forgot to cosplay? Don’t worry! Check out our satellite booth on the NYCC show floor to get a free Kaneki papercraft ghoul mask! These masks are a rare item straight from Japan and were a huge hit at AnimeExpo. Pop out the pieces and assemble to create a surprisingly 3D ghoul mask that you can wear around con.

We’ll also be handing out 11×17 double-sided poster–one side is a replica of the actual movie poster for our upcoming theatrical run in October.
