Cosplay Photos From Joe Con 2012

[dewrag]

Unfortunately the Costume contest was not held well this year, so I was unable to very good photos from it. But the Photos I got from the floor are great!

so poor lighting I didn't get many good photos of it..

Cold Slither was there, but the images came out pretty crappy on my phone.

[Lantern_Lad]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That Snake armor is SICK!!!

[CobraOfficer999]

Great costumes. I saw some of these people, but didn't introduce myself. Which Tanker was who?

[Viper6]

zanya...soooooooooooooo fine.

[Lantern_Lad]

zanya...soooooooooooooo fine.

I find it hard to believe though that Zanya would have ANYTHING to do with the Rebel Alliance. :D

[dewrag]

If anyone has some good pictures of Cold Slither post them here plz or anywhere....

[MisterShipwreck]

thanks for the pics

[Xerofall]

Nerds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


J/k... :)

[Dreadnok Rocksteady]

Awesome pics, awesome outfits!

[monstermonkey]

No Baronessesess? Wow, I thought that would've been the easiest costume. There were a whole bunch last year.

[Mary Mercenary]

I find it hard to believe though that Zanya would have ANYTHING to do with the Rebel Alliance. :D

Don't you worry. I have the Imperial insignia on my other hip. You should't be surprised that Zanya plays both sides! Heh!

[Mary Mercenary]

Did anyone get a photo of the fantastic kid dressed as Sgt. Slaughter? He was so awesome! On Sunday I was dressed as the Baroness. When I saw him coming I called out to him and pointed my gun. He did a duck and roll (!!!) and then started chasing me down the aisle. What a great kid! I hope he had a blast and comes back again next year!

[Lody]

Daina was hawwwwwwwwt

Have heard other stories about that kid. Stuck to his character pretty well, confronted cold slither, and bugged the club about not having any joe characters in the JOEcon set.

Sounds like a smart kid that was raised well! :D

[cobraEdaco]

Daina was hawwwwwwwwt

I was wondering if she was. I couldn't tell by the photo.

[Lantern_Lad]

Psyche Out cracks me up... Good job on the costume... but what an unflattering photo.

[Mary Mercenary]

Oh man! I wish I could have seen that little guy do that! Yeah, he's GOT to go next year!

[ero]

Yup, Psyche-Out and Ninja Force Zartan for the win!

[snakeeyes0217]

The SNAKE Armor rocks!

[07GT500 COBRA]

Psyche Out and Jinx along with the female Beachhead sat at our Blackjack table for a bit during the casino dinner.

And yep, Zanya and Daina were hawt.

[orezona]

The SNAKE Armor rocks!

Hands down the best out of the bunch.

[TofuNinja]

nice pictures :D

[JediJones]

I think I'll start working on a Mainframe costume for next year's con right now and see if next year's Zarana wants to reenact the Computer Complications episode. If not, Zanya would be a perfectly acceptable substitute. Mainframe's a flexible kind of guy.

[nerdsgetchicks]

Awesome!!! I love this stuff!! Thanks for sharing!

[Lody]

Good pictures here:

Sgt. Slaughter, Jr. was hilarious. Hope that kid does someone else next year.

Even better in person---not sure how they didn't win anything!

You can see the SNAKE armor again at COIL CON in September.

[fireflyguy]

There are some pretty inventive costumes there! I always think its cool to see not only that here are women there, but also involved.

[ndb]

Um, honestly, I'm kinda disappointed. None of these look that great, except Flint and Lady Jaye.

[cardensb]

She changed out of it Saturday afternoon

and yet I do not see your costume nor the cash you spent to make it.

that storm shadow back pack OPENED UP and was a replica of the 84 Storm Shadow backpack.

Good post. Some people just don't realize the time, money and effort that goes into a good costume. Not sure what he expects but most of the costumes I saw were SPOT ON.

[Roshan]

He doesn't need to make a costume to have an opinion on the costumes. But if he's not impressed with a life size SNAKE armor, I really don't give a damn about his opinion anyway.

[dewrag]

I never saw that Firefly, was he on sunday?

[Steelgrave]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/z39racer/236.jpg


lmao

[cobra22nd]

I never saw that Firefly, was he on sunday?

That was saturday afternoon. I also did alley viper that morning and for the contest/casino night. I had to get out of that helmet and those leather gloves. LOL

And no, I only spent one day dressed up. I wanted to get a picture with the other firefly, but he disappeared on me.

[Davestro]

That Firefly looks pretty cool...like the red lens Oakleys. I want to dress as Sideshow Firefly for next Con...

[cobra22nd]

The best thing that happened to me in costume was when I was getting my AV gear out of the trunk for casino night, and I was deciding which pistolian to take in. I racked the slide on the 1911 right when some dude and his gf went by and his eyes got as big as saucers. I didn't wear the tac vest on the street because I didn't want to freak any douchebags out, and I kept the weapons in a shopping bag until just outside the con. I still got stopped by cops twice and had my MP5/UMP whatever checked once.

I had two people interrupt my black jack game to take a picture. I'm like hit me up when you see me all geared up. I was busy turning my $200 into $1200 which I gave to a little girl at the next table, after I noticed people sneaking up on me to take pictures. LOL.

Anyway, I figured out people are more enthused to take a picture if they get to hold a gun. Especially little kids.

[cobra22nd]

That Firefly looks pretty cool...like the red lens Oakleys. I want to dress as Sideshow Firefly for next Con...

They are not oakleys, they are safety glasses, closest I could find to the ones that came with the comic pack 25th figure.

[Shipwreck]

He doesn't need to make a costume to have an opinion on the costumes. But if he's not impressed with a life size SNAKE armor, I really don't give a damn about his opinion anyway. Here Here, That SNAKE armor .. someone took a picture of my one SE tossing a grenade at it. heheh.

Good post. Some people just don't realize the time, money and effort that goes into a good costume. Not sure what he expects but most of the costumes I saw were SPOT ON.
Thank you for that Azzurro. I agree. Most of the costumes I had seen were pretty spiffy!

Awesome stuff, one of my favorite parts of any convention are the costumes. I like to do the costumes myself, and it is what really makes a convention worth it. C`mon you're going to be a fan.. young or older, new or vintage.. if You're walking around and you see Duke, or Shipwreck, Snake Eyes or Cobra Commander and you really liked that character.. You'd look at it in a different light. Now if you looked and saw something Not quite right. sure. we all do that. NOTHING can be that perfect. But would you be complelled to take a photo of that character, or with him/ her? The answer is yes, you would.. Why? Cause you're a fan just like the person behind the mask. That is why we do what we do.

and yet I do not see your costume nor the cash you spent to make it.

Hehe.. You really fell in love with my backpack, didn't you Skinny? Your not alone. That pack was a lunky thing, hurt my back after a while. But I busted my hump to build it right! I'm so glad I did cause that to me was the icing on the cake for the costume. It was fun to build, and even more fun to use. Your Short Fuse was just beautiful. I'm glad you won one of the three places! You beat me out of it brother, and I'm proud of you. Proud of all of you who joined in. That's what it was all about. the Fun factor. I'm a Ninja, not a crowd worker!

You and I had a damned Blast with the City Strike SE and the Viper. Those two were a terrific Pair!
I'll share some more pics in a moment or two. Wait till you guys see the reaction from Officer Mike, when I joined in with City Strike. His reaction to my M203 was just classic lol

For a lot of folks costuming is a hobby, something we do on the side for fun. We don't always have the time or financial resources to have a "perfect" costume. So some if us might not live up to everyone else's standards. But you know what? That's not the most important thing. For me I like to dress up and meet people I might not have had a chance to meet otherwise. Everyone has their own reason for costuming and it isn't always to please everyone else. Sorry you didn't dig our costumes, but I thought everyone looked great!

And Shippy, your costumes were fabulous as usual!

[NCR_Ranger92]

Hey guys I started a thread with some pictures of some cosplayers and new figs at the con. In case you want to check it out here it is.

Thanks dear. Always enjoy your company! Glad. Oh, I have pics of you to share later. Stay tuned. And you are correct about why we do what we do. It is for the fans.

[Rising Phoenix2]

hehe yea mary he did say that at the costume contest on sat night.
sgt jr was adorable ^_^

I was jinx (with the backpack) sat/sun

-.- and you stormy (shippy) loved it when i was playing vanna holding your backpack open!! think a few others got a few chuckles of that hehe.

everyone's costumes were great! even if i am getting insulted in another thread -.- .... again

[Lantern_Lad]

I'm shocked by some of the negative comments...

Wait, this is Hisstank... no, I'm not shocked.

I'd like to see the people that are be judgmental give it a "go"... not as easy as you may think it is.

[Rising Phoenix2]

yea i know really...

[TofuNinja]

Loved all the cosplay guys :D

[ndb]

Sorry guys, just not feeling a lot of the costumes on the first couple of pages. :/ Honestly, I'm a perfectionist with costumes, so ignore my opinion if you don't like it. Thats what I do with Sigma haters.

On the other hand, Just saw those costumes on the sixth page. Those I really like!

I do however have the utmost respect for all of you, considering how much this really cost. You got more dedication than I'll ever have!

[Azzurro21]

I totally agree with sgt slaughter. The boy was cool.

Agree. This was my first time making a costume (I was Slice), and it was definitely a good feeling when I could tell someone appreciated the costume...which made it all worth it. Even more rewarding was when kids appreciated it! It just so happened that a JoeCon family was staying in the room next to me and my friend who went with me (Dice). On Saturday afternoon we went up to get changed and when he saw us walking down the hallway as Slice & Dice, he flipped out! Then he started asking us questions about the characters and you could just tell that he was really into it. It made me imagine myself at his age (10?), because if I had seen someone dressed up as GI Joes/Cobras back then, I would have definitely lost my mind.

Insults towards others are used to make oneself feel better. The power of words are what you make them. It's best to ignore idiocy.

[Vulcan Raven]

He doesn't need to make a costume to have an opinion on the costumes. But if he's not impressed with a life size SNAKE armor, I really don't give a damn about his opinion anyway.

hahaha Excellence.

[samantha]

I love it. :)

[ndb]

Oh yeah to add to my post, I didn't realize the snake armor was costume. I thought it was a big prop. Stupid me. Seriously guys, am I not allowed to have an opinion? I feel like a Tim Tebow fan on a Athiest Facebook page.

[PhantomStranger]

I love seeing cosplay. We need more people cosplaying at Joe conventions to be honest.

[Rising Phoenix2]

i didnt know it was a costume either til i saw it moving hehe

heya sam!

[Shipwreck]

The best thing that happened to me in costume was when I was getting my AV gear out of the trunk for casino night, and I was deciding which pistolian to take in. I racked the slide on the 1911 right when some dude and his gf went by and his eyes got as big as saucers. I didn't wear the tac vest on the street because I didn't want to freak any douchebags out, and I kept the weapons in a shopping bag until just outside the con.

Anyway, I figured out people are more enthused to take a picture if they get to hold a gun. Especially little kids.
The one big dude at the door, Stopped to check Snake's M203, He was nervous when he asked to see it too. the guy he asked.. didn't talk.. I simply just presented arms, cocked the charging handle to open the breech, let him look in, and saw my Hop-up Gear box. I then opened the tube, and dropped a 40mm round in his hand. He looked at it with wide eyes. ''no chance of people arguing in here huh?'' Snake Eyes Shook his head ''nope'' . A kid came up wanting a picture, so I gave the officer my weapon to farther inspect. I dropped down to the kid to get a quick photo. When I stood up to look at the cop.. he was litterally caressing "Sally" ."Sally" baring name to my rifle affectionately. I think I posted a photo here somewhere of Snake eyes and the blueshirt . I'd gotten a LOT of looks with that rifle.

My favorite moments are mostly with Will Ryan, Neil Ross, and Mark Bellomo. Will took a liking to me from the moment we'd said hello and were introduced to one another. I'd had the pleasure of taking him with us to the WWII Museum. He'd had a lot of fun there with us. Spent a majority of Friday Morning/ Afternoon with him. He'd mentioned liking the M1911. So Saturday I gave him a treat. Flint had given Mr. Ryan his 1911 for photos, while Snake Eyes leant him the big gun. Mark was delighted to get a photo with his own Favorite.. Flint. It was a great experiance. And it was awesome to hang out with you all again.

Oh yeah to add to my post, I didn't realize the snake armor was costume. I thought it was a big prop. Stupid me. Seriously guys, am I not allowed to have an opinion? I feel like a Tim Tebow fan on a Athiest Facebook page.

Of course you're allowed to have an opinion. Everyone has one. Personally, I just think it's better to have a positive thread, especially when the folks that made those costumes are hanging about. You don't have to like everyone's costume, but maybe just comment on the ones you did like is best? But at least you weren't rude about expressing your thoughts like some have been and that's appreciated, truly!

That said, I think we all need to have a thicker skin about negative comments. For every one bad comment or person that didn't like a costume there's going to be a ton more that totally dig it!

Some of those leave me at a loss for words.

The Snake Armor was cool though.

A note about opinions, and possible reactions.. While it's perfectly fine to have your own opinion.. as it has been stated before... Yes you may have your own opinion. But remember while you are delivering that opinion.. had you thought it completely through? Do you know where to find the ''correct'' items to help him or her out with their costume? Body types are far, few, and inbetween in the real world. Remind yourself, not every gal can be that supermodel in a costume, Not every guy has the muscular state that an athlete, has. Always judge the costume, not the person. if the person in the costume can Act the part, sure judge the whole rendition . Then form your opinion based on that as a whole. again.. be mindful of what words can be transposed to online.

Here is a bit about me, and my personal experiance at my first Full Joecon(Even though I was there in Orlando,FL in 2011.)
Though I will openly say I have 30 years of martial arts experiance in 6 different styles.. I had been a cobra black ninja viper(at one time before the sideshow or so was invented), Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes in the past.. I've done some posing for photos...

I've never been one to draw a lot of attention to myself durring contest events. BUT... this year I stepped out of that box a little bit.

If anyone that was at the dinner night, some of you may have captured our favorite white assassin at the front of the stage alone actually working out with one of his swords. I'd love to see the video of it . I'd gotten lost in the moment. Rather my eyes had been closed durring the Hyungs I'd combined. It was only toward the end of the last one, did I realize someone had been video taping it.
If you're on the tank, and you were the one who had taken the video. Please youtube it, share it with the rest of us. I did not intend for it to end up that way. I'd just gotten majorly bored with the waiting to be eliminated.

To those of you who DID vote for Storm Shadow. I thank you for giving me the chance to step out into the second round.

This overall has been a wonderful experiance.(cept for the jerk who not only tried to trip me, but also kick me on the way out of the ballroom after the convention. I still think you're a childish worm. but it's my opinion.)

That girl was great! We had a fantastic conversation with her when we saw her at the Con. I was sorry we missed her at the panel, but we were busy helping with my hubby's booth.

Here are two I took with my phone!

I'm aware. You guys were around, and I had stopped by several times to chat(where I could) The blog that Rose had created is true to every word. She really did have breakfast at light speed with us , then vanished. I think one of my most cherrished moments will be hanging out, and getting a tour of the town with her, while Will rather narrorated about being in NOLA, and sharing his stories with us of other places he'd visited. We'd had a great time with both Neil and Will. Will was pretty funny though. He'd mentioned to me about liking the colt 45. I gave him my sidearm for a photo when I was playing Flint. His eyes went wide with enthusiasm. spelling probally stinks heh. just for giggles, I'd randomly snarled and he broke out with Mutt's reaction and voice tone. " Easy Junk" that was just classic. Kept trying to pass bits of his lunch in my direction at the resturant too. heheh. As I said.. a blast of a time!

[B and H Comics]

All the costumes are great !! I love the Zap and Short Fuze costums. They are simple and effective. When I first saw them online I thought they were awesome and funny. Most everyone goes for the more complex stuff but those two were cool!!

I dig SHipwrecks FLint costume. I would have the ganas to walk around a major metropolitan area with a weapon like that, lol. those commercials about the guy playing racketball and then getting an eyepatch and getting jumped by thugs comes to mind lol.

[mr_david]

Yes!



This was the first year my wife and daughter came on the trip, with all the extra packing I forgot my camera…..all weekend long I was so pissed at myself. I like to think of my photos from the con as part of my haul. Thank god my brother in-law had his camera.

Unfortunately the Costume contest was not held well this year, so I was unable to very good photos from it. But the Photos I got from the floor are great!

so poor lighting I didn't get many good photos of it..

Cold Slither was there, but the images came out pretty crappy on my phone.

all these would fit in the IDW comics of gi joe

[jogunwarrior]

I really dig all of the costumes featured here. One of my favorite Con aspects is the cosplay. My favorites of the bunch have to be Slice and Dice, NF Zartan and Daina. Psyche-Out is great too; the more obscure the character the more I dig it!

[Joe Fan 1]

Excellent photos. Glad to see some G.I. Joe cosplay. I have to say that the Snake Armor was my favorite.
