GenCon 2013: A Cosplay Circus

Greetings once again InterWebs!!!! My coverage of GenCon 2013 continues with a look at some of the costumes I ran across during my journeys about the convention center. This is but a small selection of the costumes that were on display during the weekend, I know there had to be a ton I missed. I was able to guess what the costume was about 25% of the time. Sit back and get ready for a bunch of pictures and a couple of videos (my first)! I apologize for some of the pictures quality, it was a very busy place with a lot of people passing back and forth. Enjoy!

 Here are a bunch of shots I took in the various Convention Center Halls:

 Lego Superman! Even the bottom of the boots had the holes to fit into Lego tabs:

There was a very well done Dalek that really grabbed people's attention:

 There was someone inside that ordered people 'to not touch the appendages':

The Convention Center Hall shots continue:

The Ghostbusters!

The backs of the Proton Packs were really well done with lights and sounds:

 The Pope was in the house! I got blessed as he passed:

 I am not sure what this guy was but his spear was huge:

 Great dress! Need to convince my better half that this would look good on her!

 These girls drew quite a crowd:

 Minecraft warrior:

 Happy garden gnome:

 Spy vrs. Spy

 Venom:

 Nicely done Batman, he even had the gravely voice down pat:

 Excellent Joker:

 Lady-in-Waiting:

 Scarecrow:

 Blue girl:

 Warcaster of Menoth:

 Thor:

 Dragon Princess (Game of Thrones) and her Barbarian Bodyguard (behind her):

Here we have the start of the annual Costume Parade which wound through the Convention Center Halls before stopping in one of the big ballrooms for the Costume Contest. I loved the fact the Parade was led off by a guy in an Imperial Guard costume waving a large Aquila Flag:

This leads us to my first videos, again I apologize for the quality, I have a small hand-held camera. I hope you are able to make out some of the costumes as they pass by.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! I am almost done with my GenCon 2013 coverage, the only thing left to cover is the stuff I brought home from the show. Take care!
