C2E2 was a blast this past weekend. There was so much they had set up to see and do, but occasionally, you’d get distracted by the cosplayers. There were tons of people dressed up as their favorite characters this past weekend, and we tried and get as many photos of these die-hard fans as we could. Sometimes, like the Chewbacca to the right. When you’re trying to walk to the bathroom, and you see a 7 ½ foot tall Chewbacca walking towards you, you try the best you can to get that camera out and snap a photo, but sometimes it looks like a blurry photo of Bigfoot. Maybe that was Bigfoot? Anyway, he was one of my favorites. He even had a speaker somewhere in the suit that would play Chewbacca noises. Although it was a blast having these people shoot a pose for the camera, there was one weird awkward moment on Saturday afternoon. I walked up to the group dressed as the new X-force (Pictured below), and as I snapped a couple of shots, I hear my name. “Hey Mat!” I looked up and didn’t see anyone. I snapped a few more and I heard it again, only to realize that The Vanisher was one of my friends. Why was this awkward? Because I ruined a few people’s shots. I jumped into the group and hugged the guy. To make this less awkward, I suggest Marvel make InferiorEgo an official X-Force member, so I don’t look out of place.
So here's the cosplay photos we snapped during the show. From left to right: Sgt Rock (maybe?) and Kitty Pryde, Jango Fett, Jay Garrick, Henchmen 24 and 21, Chewbacca, X-Force, Cobra Commander, Comedian and Silk Spectre, Imperial Guy and Stormtrooper, Psylocke, Imperial Guy and Darth Vader No. 1, Sailor Moon, Creepy guy probably from a video game, Ghostbuster, Moon Knight, Boba Fett and Darth Vader No. 2, Sora and two anime characters, Imperial Guy trying to shoot me, and MOJO!
I loved the Mojo outfit and Jay Garrick, two characters I've never seen at a convention before. What characters do you guys think deserve "best in show?"
