Picture Show: The Best Costumes of Comic-Con 2008

by Jen Yamato | July 29, 2008

Summary

Every year there's more of them at Comic-Con. They're conspicuous. They walk the convention floor. They might even give out free hugs and pose for pictures. No, we're not talking about the Hollywood A-listers in town for the weekend's film panels -- we're talking about an entirely different breed of celebrity that gets even more attention at Comic-Con than real-life famous people: cos-players.

bumble Bee costume is pretty awesome and the sweeney todd costumes are great. Although i can't help but notice the Metroid Fusion suit of Samus cosplay is a little "revealing" down there and that last girl mentioned, awesome costume imo.

Skeletor is... unemployed Skeletor? For a joke costume, I like it.

Sweeney Todd costumes are great! And where there are geeks, there will be catgirls...

I bet that last chick had a minimum of 5 fat guys looking at her at any given time.

Oh, come on guys...be nice. Iron Man wasn't so chunky! Lara Croft was awesome! And I think I agree with some of you on the T-1000...pretty sick.

Iron Gut!

Sweeny Todd takes the prize IMHO.

The last guy who wondered in on Sunday might be the character Jacob Black from Twilight.

I could be wrong though, seeing as how most Twilighters are females and approximately 80 % of them hate the character.

Metroid Fusion suit? WTF are you smoking? That's the newest Samus design circa Metroid Prime, silly! Fusion-era Samus had long, untied, platinum-blond hair and sported a blue top and blue short shorts! Seriously!

Fusion-era Samus (shows up in Metroid Fusion and in the Japanese Metroid Manga): http://mdb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/m4/mfend2.png

Zero Suit Samus (shows up in Metroid Prime and all games, excluding Fusion, released thereafter up to the present, as well as SSB: Brawl): http://mdb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/mzm/mzmend6.png

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, DAMMIT! *foams at the mouth, Samus-fangirl style* xD;;

That last guy MIGHT be trying to do Red Wolf, an old school 1970s-1980s Marvel hero...

Kudos to the Iron Gut guy for finding a creative way around... reality.

Well, Anniss�, I think you just got yourself another truckload of fans! I'd never heard of those Tandem Twins - don't read comix, don't watch anime - but my web search quickly led to a Leopard Girls figurine striking EXACTLY the same pose as you. Really impressive and picture purr-fect. Like the tail...

Anniss�, if that is really you, thanks for checking out the site! It was nice meeting you, though really only Jen spoke to you; I was the guy off to the side carrying the bags and taking photos while the interview was filmed. In any case, it's rare that we actually get to interact with people after we've met them, so it's nice to see you on here. Hope you enjoy RT.

Hi Anniss�! We loved your costume! Thanks for posing for us, and for checking RT for the gallery. Feel free to post your cos-play links here - something tells me you'll get a LOT of new fans...

See you next year!

Jen

I checked out Annisse's website. Awesome costume. Come down to Ren Fest in Florida next February!

Now, that leopard girl got me thinking. How about Oneechanbara Bikini-clad Zombie Killer?

Cat girl, you are sexy!

I liked the beer-tummy add-on on IronMan.
I mean, I knew IronMan had alcohol issues... but that tummy is really saying it more clearly in fact.

Did that last guy just butcher a wolf or a dog or something, and make a HAT out of it?
