San Diego Comic Con 3

Hello again!

We are continuing our coverage of the San Diego Comic Con with this post solely dedicated to all the interesting, outlandish and sometimes pointless costumes I came across while roaming the convention center. There are quite a few photos so I’ll keep the preamble to a minimum. A fun aspect of attending SDCC is being able to see all the hard work and creativity that some people put into their costumes. There were plenty to go around and I tried to snap as many as possible. I heard about several celebs walking around in costumes, but alas, I came across none..at least that I know of.

Without further wait time.. SDCC Part 3: Cosplay!

 

Batman and Girls
Great Batman costume. I think I saw him last year. DC hires professionals to walk the aisles and I think he's one of 'em.

 

Batman Cast
The Penguin costume really intrigued me the most of this lot.

 

Boba Fett
There's always an excellent Boba Fett lurking around somewhere. I found him.

 

Captain Amercia 1
Of course, with the Captain America movie coming out that weekend, there were plenty of Captains running around that week.

 

Captain America 2
Interesting version.

 

Chainsaw
This guy just ran around scaring people. It was fun to watch.

 

Daphne
Some old school Scooby Doo for ya.

 

Dr. Girlfriend
Dr. Girlfriend from my favorite cartoon ever...The Venture Bros.

 

Gene Simmons
Gotta snap a pic when you see Gene Simmons coming at ya.

 

Harlequin
There's always a Harlequin. Her's was well done.

 

Minotaur
This guy put in some serious hours on this costume. Very cool. All the legs moved as he walked.

 

Invisible Girl
Invisible Girl. I have no idea what she's holding in her hand. She's plugging something for herself.

 

Princess Leia
She couldn't get far with all the picture taking going on. I doubt she made it in.

 

Planet of the Apes 1
This blew me away! Best I saw that weekend.

 

Planet of the Apes 2
Had to take another snap.

 

Red Skull
The Red Skull...due to Captain America coming out that weekend.

 

Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch.

 

Random Superheroes 1
Several random superheroes.

 

Random Superheroes 2
Well done...well done.

 

Random Superheroes 3
I have no idea if these are characters from any particular books/shows or if they just made them up. At any rate, their costumes were worthy of a snap.

 

Tony Stark
Very good Tony Stark I saw on Preview Night. Almost looks like Stephen Malkmus.

 

Watchmen
Rorschach from Watchmen.

 

Wonder Twins
Excellent tribute to the Wonder Twins. Too funny!

 

Well, that does it for this post. We have one more coming that will encompass just the random cool things I came across and couldn’t figure out what category to put it in. So, until we meet again…

  1. I did have a an excellent time! The only video I took was by accident w/ my digital camera. I was attempting to take a pic of Princess Leia and was filming instead. Took me awhile to figure out why no picture was snapped and she got tired of my antics and left. Next time, I may take video shots. That might help give the overall impression of the SDCC experience.
