MacGyver Set to Thrill at Armageddon Expo

7 November, 2015

MacGyver Set to Thrill at Armageddon Expo Manukau and Christchurch!


MacGyver always finds ingenious ways to get out of tight situations, but in March he’ll need all of those skills to get past the crowds of fans at the inaugural Armageddon Expo, Manukau City, at the Vodafone Events Centre, March 5-6th, as well as the Christchurch expo at the Horncastle Arena on March 12/13th, 2016.

Richard Dean Anderson, better known as MacGyver and as Brigadier General Jack O’Neill from Stargate SG1 will be the big name attending the show, joining other stars from Stargate, Star Trek TNG, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, Ben 10, The Regular show and more!

Exhibition founder William Geradts said, “It’s exciting to have such a huge star for the inaugural Manukau edition of the show as well as for the first time in the South Island.

“With Richard Dean Anderson’s popularity both among the sci-fi community with Stargate fans and his broader appeal through MacGyver and spin-off television and movie appearances on the Simpsons, Legend, and General Hospital, we expect that he will be in very high demand,” he said.

After the Manukau event, Richard Dean Anderson will head to the South Island for Armageddon Expo Christchurch, giving Cantabrians the chance to meet the star for the first time.

Other top stars will be named in coming weeks to attend the Manukau, Canterbury and Dunedin editions of the show.

Armageddon Expo has grown dramatically since its creation in 1995 as a small comic trading market. The modern day events feature not only the comics and collectibles that first attracted the fans, but the rise of the multi-billion dollar gaming franchises has seen Armageddon Expo become the launch pad for new games and consoles.
