Welp. Shoulder holster acquired. Shirt ordered, extra pair of pants acquired. All I need now are the white tank tops and some toy pistols. The latter are proving...tricky. Any ideas as to where I can acquire them (Keeping in mind that, living in Canada, shipping can be problematic).
Oh, and to shave my head (and regrow the beard- trimmed it too short yesterday). But that's not until April.
This year's PAX shall be awash in gloomy, self-referential monologuing.
on of my good friends that is coming with me to Pax This year will be cosplaying a LoL character as well. She is going as Ahri. I will be Storm from X-Men! Hope to see you there! I just likes your facebook page with my facebook page.... XD I hope that makes sense!
I hope to be in the LoL cosplay show too. I was last year, and I just happened to stumble upon it. Does anyone know if Riot posts any details ahead of time, either here or on their own social media/communities?

Not sure about if they post or not, but usually you can stop by the booth and ask. Rioters walking around can also be helpful if it is too crazy by the booth itself. They'll give you a rough time to be in the area and signed up.

They have definitely announced in the past cosplay contests/meetups via their own forums. It'd be your best bet to see when and where they're holding the contest.

(Why do all male video game characters have to wear so many shirts? I'm gonna cook and die... again...)
I'm concerned about the opposite- I'll be in a hawaiian shirt and tank top/just a tank top- I'm a bit worried about freezing my tuchus off.
Since you don't really need convincing looking pistols, just browse around any local dollar stores. Sometimes they have some decent looking ones for cheap. Next best place would be any costume/masks stores - little more quality, but do expect to pay up.
I remember Montreal had this neat costume shop, happened to get an awesome metal revolver there for a photo shoot. There should be other options there too

Thank you. I think I know of the costume shop you speak- near the old port, aye?
This is thus far what I have. I gotta buy wonderflex to finish the cape off, the green part is the stencil/prototype! And I gotta buy a white suit since it is a bit sheer. I also plan on adding ruffled fabric on the upper arms. I am pretty happy with how everything is turning out!
There are a lot of images, so here is a link if you wanna see them! Mind you, I do not own a sewing machine. This is was all by hand.. So that's why I wanted to start making this cosplay early! So I have enough time!

Yeah, I want to say it's either Eva B or Montreal Halloween Costumes, based on the location and where I stayed in the city, but I could be very wrong. Either way, there's ton of costumes shops to check out! Hope that works out for you.

I need a 3rd cosplay I was thinking about doing Sabu from ECW or Mr. Satan from DBZ I'll have a mustache/beard grown in for Mario. I will be doing my 8-Bit Fire Mario and a lil twist tweak on Akuma again
3. Realistic looking toy guns that are not airsoft are fine.
I'm late to the party here, but as a local, I would strongly suggest that nobody bring a realistic looking toy gun to PAX.
3 years back, the police shutdown a popular mall, because someone mistook an umbrella for a rifle.
Personally, I think it was stupid how mall security could mistake an umbrella for a rifle, but that's Boston for you. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/04/19/burlington-mall-closed-after-reports-of-a-gunman-inside/
Paint your toy gun white, make it look like a prop, whatever, just make sure it does not look realistic.
I'm nobody official, just an attendee who doesn't want to see the convention center shutdown due to police over reaction.
Hello everyone! I have the base of my police officer VI gloves pretty much done but I ran into an issue trying to find a good material. I need something that would work/look like plexiglass or at least is sturdy and is transparent enough for light to go through, but I can also heat it to bend it. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, since my current idea is to make a mold and cast with resin but I'm not sure how well that would work. what the character looks like. any advice would be helpful.

I can, from experience, recommend clear PVC material. It is bendable/moldable with a heat gun easily, and stays transparent.
Part of the back rig for my Isaac Clarke outfit. I recently added the stasis module unit. Need to add a few more pieces, paper mache it, add straps to it to seat on my back properly, then hand paint it. Then on to the helmet!
Super excited to see the end product of this. I'll be enforcing this year, but we're going to have to meet up.

Seems to me that was less the mall security making a mistake but random patrons of the mall making the mistake. Suffice to say I'd like to think our bunch going to Pax East aren't going to be running shouting "Gun!" when we're too enthralled by all these awesome cosplayers.
I maybe cutting my Siren cosplay since Irrational games may not be there and well I was doing the cosplay for them. I"m a sad panda right now.
Bring it! There's going to be hell of Bioshock cosplay (Levine RT my wife and I's cosplay last night on twitter), and if there's any con that Irrational will have a swang song, it's PAX East. Plus, I'm bringing my Booker as is, lol.
As for Nigri, I wouldn't hold my breath. She and WB Games violated PAX's "booth babes" policies like 2 years ago which cause a brief thing. I don't think she was there last year, so odds are she won't be this year.
If I cosplay It would be my first time.. I sorta wanted to be an anime character but will try to think of some game ideas.
Any Fairy tail cosplayers.. time to go as Happy.. (jk) maybe someone from there. My friend Loco and me will be trying to come up with something..
I plan on doing Lucy!! I believe we will have a Gray, Natsu, Spirit Loke, and possible Laxus. I really wish I knew more girls. Also that I could make difficult cosplays....Heaven's Wheel Erza anyone?

We had 3-days last year I cosplayed Mad Moxxi This year, we're going on Saturday and Sunday. At this point I am planning one cosplay - Diablo 3 Demon Hunter. I want to try to get a second one together, but the Demon Hunter is the biggest cosplay I've attempted yet so it all depends on time!

Could be a look so nice you do it twice !!!!
I am not a cosplayer myself but I think I am looking as much forward to seeing all the cosplayers as I am attending the con .... cannot wait.

Dr. Horrible Death Ray, as of this morning.
Well, just the wooden, unpainted bits. The front assembly and scope are mostly done, just need to be assembled and attached.
Fellow cosplayers, I have what may be a rather impossible question. My Pink Ranger costume now includes the Power Bow, complete with arrow, and obviously I want to comply with PAX's weapons policy. Everything is pretty much in order, I think (no sharp points or edges, definitely a costume weapon, etc.) except for the non-firing part. I just can't seem to find a bowstring that's elastic but won't actually allow me to fire the arrow. I've solved this problem for now by removing the bowstring, and if need be I'll just leave it off for the show, but I know people have cosplayed as archers at PAX in the past (your Katnisses, your Lara Crofts, whatever) and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips on this front.
ETA: I realize this may be impossible, of course, and any amount of elasticity may mean I can fire the arrow over at least short distances. But I figured it was worth asking in case anyone had a way around the problem.

A bow's power comes from the 'flex' in the arms and not the string itself, so a very elastic bowstring could actually be safer to have strung than a rigid one lol. That said it could still be deemed inappropriate so maybe carry 2 different lengths of string around, depending on if you're posing with it pulled or not?
