Shibuya Streets

During New York Comic-Con we met Winston Churchill well we sort of met him… okay we met his actor who plays him on Doctor Who, Ian McNeice. For $20 we got his autograph and we each got a picture with him.

We also got to get our picture taken with a Dalek. Daleks are much taller than they seem, it was kind of intimidating.

Of course I also said I had a story regarding a Nintendo representative I approached as Fawful. He was impressed by the cosplay. It was short, but very fun to do.

Fawful: Why doesn't Fawful have the being in Mario 3D Land?
Nintendo Rep: Not sure.
Fawful: You should have the telling of the bosses to put Fawful in a new game. Fawful needs a new paycheck!

There were a few more things that happened at NYCC, but perhaps that is for a different time. This pretty much wraps up my coverage of what James and I did at New York Comic-Con.

Welcome to part one of my New York Comic-Con coverage, today I am showing off some of the cosplay we saw at NYCC.

While at New York Comic Con one of the things you’ll notice first is the cosplay. Even I cosplayed as Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series of RPGs. My specific cosplay was actually a little bit popular, not as popular as some, but I was recognized by quite a few people.

Let’s start with day one, which for us was Friday. We actually didn’t take too many pictures on Friday we took more every day as the convention went on.

• We have Deadpool.
• Some Umbrella Corperation soldiers.
• Not actually cosplay… but it was a remote controlled R2-D2 complete with the beeps and boops.
• Chell with her Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device.
• Link and Midna.
• DARK HELMET.

Day two started with James and I cosplaying as Cilan from Pokemon and Fawful from Mario & Luigi, respectively.

• We had Lucas and Claus of Mother 3.
• No collection is complete without Cloud from FF7.
• We had a Heart Knight from Alice in Wonderland.
• Hello Sweetie. The Doctor and his wife, River Song.
• We came across a wonderful Captain Jack Sparrow.
• Well, Bowser will no longer be a problem for Lord Fawful.
• A Moogle.
• We had lunch next to The Riddler and Poison Ivy.
• An AMAZING Glados which was also playing the song, “Want You Gone.”
• Magneto from X-Men.
• Fawful was seen gunning down Toads!

Day three brought us more cosplay as we refined our own costumes.

• We have the guy from Plants Vs. Zombies.
• A girl Bowser.
• Nick Fury from the Marvel Universe.
• The usual Sephiroth from FF7.
• Avengers assemble!
• I AM DALEK!
• Cilan, Ash, Misty, Jessie, and James.
• Human Wheatly from Portal.
• Perfect Cell from DBZ.
• Another exquisite picture of Cilan.
• An evil Dark Link.
• Lastly, an Umbreon cosplay.

There was a ton more cosplay at the convention that we didn't get pictures of for various reasons. We also have a few more that I didn't post, they can be found in my gallery right here.

Next up, a special guest we got to meet and gameplay coverage of the Nintendo games we played.

Well, I've gone with a classic blog revamp, Mustard of Your Doom. Yay evil mustard!

Really though... there is a reason for this.  At New York Comic Con... things happened. There was a horrible mutation involving beans and I was transformed into this:



I am become Fawful, master of the fury!

Anyway, I was working on a NYCC entry for today when the program I was using crashed and everything I wrote up was deleted. So, I will write it up again tomorrow after work.

After all the fun covereage I will post more stuff about what is happening, including a bit of what happened due to Hurricane Irene. Had we not paid off NYCC early when we did, we wouldn't have gone though.
