    In addition to Good Cole MacGrath (inFAMOUS 2) and Jake Muller (Resident Evil 6) I have added another costume for the weekend. Jimmy Hopkins from Bully.

    Also if anyone is looking to have professional pictures taken, send me a message as I have a friend in the area that does great work, is close to the convention center, and has slots open for the weekend.

    Be excellent to each other!

    I'll probably not make it to the costuming panel simply because it is going to be at the same time as the Blizzard panel & (likely) the queue time for the PA Q&A. I can't believe three of my favorite events will be at the same time! #Firstworldproblems

    Hi there.
    This will be my first PAX and I am just curious to know if anyone will be cosplaying Adventure Time? And if so maybe we could have a meet-up?

  • Axelsgurl4lifeAxelsgurl4life Potsdam,NYRegistered User regular
    I only have two costumes that I could possibly do at this time. One is a bunneary cosplay I wore for anime syracuse and the other is my maid uniform....will anyone else be doing Pokemon Cosplays? and is my maid outfit ok for PAX? 422082_10150837749229619_1010088305_n.jpg

  • sephygothsephygoth Registered User new member
    can't wait to pick up from where I left off last yr, with costumes barely finished and hanging by threads XD
    Hsien Ko (Darkstalkers)
    Khajiit (Skyrim)
    Axl Low ....ol Guilty Gear
    Sephiroth if I can finish repairs ^^
    Not in it for the pics,clout just to pay respects to what I play every day. I hate turning ppl down for shots, but if I do it's because there is somewhere where said fandom demands my presence XD
    I know there were some fellow darkstalkers out there (BBhood, morrigan, qbee) I'll keep my eyes out for a meetup

    Love it :D I almost did Silent Night, but needed more storage space in the prop - so Arcade works really well :)

    @AaronC - what's the rules regarding shirtless men? A buddy of mine wants to do a costume but asked me to check on this before he started it.

    Shirtless men are not a problem. States of undress by attendees is fine as long as your privates aren't showing.

    Put up or shut up time, eh? Well, here's ONE of my cosplays, just to prove I'm SRS BSNS.

    Well, that kills any chance I'll go to the costuming panel. I'd say don't clash anything with the opening ceremonies for a meetup time, the keynote is basically THE event to attend.

    Man, even Dora the Explorer thinks you're slow.

    My question too. Do they and how much? I'd pm, but other cosplayers might want the answers too. :)

    As far as the meetup, I'll only be in costume Saturday, so that's the only day I'd be interested in. I realize a lot happens on Saturday.

    FYI: I just noticed that Underbelly's "Pokeholics Anonymous" panel is having a cosplay contest, for all of you Pokemon lookalikes.

    Anyone know about other cosplay contests?

    I'll have two costumes on me this year: the white Boyle sister from Dishonored, and Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. This year will be my first time cosplaying at PAX East, so I'm excited!

    Oh my goodness! I'm so excited to see your Boyle sister! It would be so neat to have a group of three people doing all of them... maybe one day...

    I've never heard of a problem related to a maid outfit at PAX. If anyone wants to know if its from a video game and you don't already have one in mind, you could always say its the maid from the Sims ^_^

    Are there any Zelda Cosplayers by any chance?

  • DTJAAAAMDTJAAAAM Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    Last PAX East was the first one I missed in years, so you better believe I'm flying back to Boston in 2013. I was at a local con, but so jealous of some of the good cosplayers that I missed. Can't wait to see and capture photos of all the costumes for my gallery, which is pretty much my main reason for attending these kinds of events nowadays.. and the free swag.

    It's my first time cosplaying at PAX, and I'll be going as a Helgast soldier. I know the weapons restriction is pretty tight, so I just spray painted a Nerf gun. The problem is, I'm not sure if it's gonna pass inspection. (it looks less crappy and fake than I was planning) Anyone want to do me a huge favor and yay or nay this? Keep in mind it's not done, and I'm debating on whether or not to paint the tip of the barrel orange.

    You'll have to deactivate the Nerf gun so that it cannot fire: http://east.paxsite.com/faq#can-i-bring-my-nerf-gun-lightsaber-other-weird-thing

    Already done there. Everything is sealed shut so it can't be cocked or fired at all.

    I say paint the tip. I makes it a clear indicator that it is a fake. Anyone who gives you a hard time about the "accuracy" of doing that is a jerk.

  • TacoForceTacoForce Registered User regular
    Thanks, man. That's pretty much what i was thinking. It's just a prop after all, not the focus of the costume. I'll worry about accuracy after it passes the "second glance" test first.

  • Sonicracer100Sonicracer100 Registered User new member
    Is there any Legend Of Zelda Cosplayers going to PAX, who may want to meet up?

    I'll be wearing this around on Saturday. It's a reference to LoadingReadyRun but most people just see it as a 'woooooCanada' costume. I am perfectly cool with both outcomes.

    I'm stupid excited about the "Introduction to Curing Chemicals and Special Effects Costuming" panel. Gotta plan dinner around that on Friday.
    Now that I've finished my costume, I'm working on crafting a massive gun - trying to make it myself... we'll see how that goes b/c I don't own any useful tools :P

    Its marginal, it looks real from a distance in the photo provided. I can't give a clear answer here due to that. I would say odds are against the Enforcers on site allowing it.

    I'm going to be bringing a sword for my vergil cosplay, the blade is painted in a mettalic color and the material is made out of wood. Will I have any problems bringing it in?
