    I've never been to PAX East before and this is my first time coming. I dont know exactly when you come dressed up or anything. Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like to come dressed up as Sandman from MW3. I'm just curious how it works. First Timer.

    You can come dressed up whenever you want. Some people stay in costume the entire weekend and some change into street clothes at some point. There's been talks of cosplay meet ups on Friday and Saturday, but those aren't set in stone. The only thing you really need to know is that PAX has a stricter weapon rules then other cons, you can read about it here.

    I'm gonna go on the safe side and assume that empty magazines fall under this category.

    Probably even air gun that resembles a weapon is a no go, but there are some enforcers who could answer that question better then I could.

    @JonnyRuckus I'm not ready! T_T my costume is 80% done.

    @BuLL3t1789 Last year was my first time to PAX and my first time cosplaying, it was so much fun. You just dress up and show up =)

    Here's a sneak peak

    @JonnyRuckus Yes I did. It's like my first armor costume, 2nd costume lol. Not sure if I want to bring back my Lenne costume since this one will be pretty awesome :3 I've been working on it since June and I'm not even done. I just want to finish it on time.

    @ishtra Thank you! I assume you will be dressed up as LoL champion as well? ;3

    So after several months of being indecisive between 4 different costumes I've finally stuck with my final idea. No Bane, no Watch Dogs, no Dovahkiin v2, no Barry Burton, and no Max Payne.
    This year I've finally decided to go with The Merchant from Resident Evil 4. Going to get the backpack and sew items on the insides soon.

    Also, as far as the cosplay meet up goes I'll just go ahead and make the plans. Feel free to suggest other times.
    Friday: 3:30 at the Rock Band Freeplay
    Saturday: 4:00 at the Rock Band Freeplay

    The Rock Bnd Freeplay area is spacious and we did a small meetup of about 20 people last year for one mans request of a group photo.

    Basically just picking a random time for both days. Not sure what we should do. Talk, compliment each other, take photos, group photos, maybe venture out in Boston amongst the general public. Whatever!

    I finally decided that I will feel like an idiot if I don't wear last year's OOT Sheik costume. I spent a year working on it (off and on), then barely wore it at all because I sized the turban wrong and it gave me a wicked headache. I think I had it on all of two hours on Friday and was in a panel for most of that. .

    Wear it! I hate that we spend all this time making a costume to just wear it for one day!

    Provided I can finish everything (still sick amounts of work to do since I'm now working 2 jobs @_@ ) I'll be going as Arcade Sona. Looks like a good amount of LoL activity :) Hoping to also have time to make a Graves skin ... costume for the hubby while also making cookies for Cookie Brigade.

    Can't wait. Your breastplate looks awesome, btw, so I'm excited to see it in person.

    As a tip: real 30 round mags (even unloaded) are banned in MA, have been since 1993. The Federal AWB expired some time back, but MA's has no expiry and must be repealed by a bill through Congress then signed by the Governor. The fine is a minimum of $1K and a year in jail, unless of course you lawfully owned the mags before 1993. Retired/Active police can own them, though, military members/Vets can't... fascism at its finest.

    Im thinking of doing something crazy and adding another costume. I could probably make Kat from DmC quickly and I'd wear her Sunday. HMM. Decisions, decisions

    Anybody else doing any Magic: the Gathering cosplay? Assuming I get it done in time, I'm going at least one day as Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. If nothing else, I'll then have the costume for Magic Grand Prix Las Vegas.

    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!

  • kohanaikohanai Registered User regular
    Soooo... anyone dressing as Penny Arcady characters? Or do we have some Silent Hill nurses? I've love to be in photos with them as I'm dressing as Catsby on Friday, one of the bubblehead nurses on saturday and a relaxed version of harley on sunday.

    Riven... I can't wait to see the costume complete!

    High five for those dates/times for a costly meet up. That'd be great!

  • ishtraishtra Long IslandRegistered User regular
    coming along well. Need to make still though: earrings, suit top, something to give my skirt more shape, the final components of my table. Then done :) More LoL to come.

    You can bet that every year there will be nurses and/or Pyramid Head. Saw both last year.

    I will be attending PAX as Protoman. If you were at MAGfest this year, you may have seen me since I was cosplaying most of the time. This will be my first time at PAX East. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the size of this con. I never been to a con with more than 20,000 people.

    Swatches for the vest came in this weekend. Major disappointment. 18 days is plenty of time to find another fabric store and finish a vest... plenty...probably

    Good thing I've already done the pants and props.

    Some of you might know me from last year. I went as Aela the Huntress from Skyrim on Friday, Female Cog from Gears of War on Saturday, and Lara Croft on Sunday.

    I'll be simplifying my cosplay schedule this year and just cosplaying the entire weekend as Maya from Borderlands 2. I'll put up some progress shots on here, but if you want to track my progress more check out my (link removed) . Really excited for this costume as I've been putting in tons of hours into the game already.

    I'll also be accompanied by a Handsome Jack, Mordecai (B2), and Gaige (Possibly more characters too!) - If anyone else is dressing up from Borderlands 2, we should all meet up :)

    So had a bit of a costume change - just due to time and budget - I'll now be cosplaying as Miss Nathan Drake and I'll be accompanied by a normal Nathan Drake! I plan on combining some aspects of classic Lara Croft with Nathan Drake for a unique costume. So excited for PAX! :D

    This will be my third year at PAX East, but first time in costume since I prefer to be behind the camera. (´・ω・`) Very nervous, but I hope it will be fun and I'll meet some awesome people!
    I just started working on Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening. My only costume experience has come from LARPing, but due to that I'm used to working with unique materials and under a time constraint.
    This will be very different, though, so wish me luck!

    Tharja is the best! I love her support with the player character in FE:A although I feel bad for their children. Hope you have it done by PAX, would love to see it! Good luck!
