Found these online. What do you guys think?

These are pretty good! I've seen them before...but not for a long time... I am cracking up that "Mark" and "Jason" are holding ping pong paddles!

Hmm, the Eagle and Condor aren't wearing quite the right colours of jeans, and the Condor's t-shirt seems to have been made for someone with much wider shoulders, but on the whole, they look great and I am jealously coveting that number 2 t-shirt (I could get my sister to alter it to fit me!) I wonder what happened to the Swallow? I think that Galactor goon costume deserves a prize though -it's really well done!

Those costumes are great but the pics have ruined my whole idea of the boys aging "gracefully"

Me too ha ha... The bottom pic I've seen before and I think there's more on flickr... Jun and the goon look really good...

ITA that I was at the ping pong paddles! Clearly these are BOTP fans! I'm guessing that there is no Keyop since no one wanted to burble all day.

Either that or it was an "adults only" event and who would want a "kid" at an event like that?

First thought is, I'm jealous. That would be so much fun to run around wearing them shirts, especially with the gang. Maybe those of us that are going to the Con this July can make their own civvies shirts and hang out.

If you are going to Comic Con, it is sooo much fun to wear a costume! Do it, GG!

I prefer the second pic to the first one, mostly because the cosplayers of Jun and the Goon really followed the exact details of the original costumes, and well, they also have the right body shapes, compared to the cosplayers in the first picture. But hey, I am not complaining about the cosplayers in the first pic, as long as they don't include a kid in a Zark's costume,

Didn't you see him? He's that trash can in the background...

And here are some more:

And check this out!! Notice it says 'Rent me' on the upper right?

I wonder where that Condor got his helmet -it looks just like the real thing! (not so keen on the colour of his cape though) That Swan, though... looks a bit broad-shouldered and narrow-hipped!

I agree with LB, the Condor's cape is wrong. It reminds me of Eagle blue not Condor. As for the Swan's narrow hips it could be the camera angle... could be. Don't gymnasts have small hips? The person could be a gymnast.

Certainly that Swan looks like you shouldn't mess with her!

The Swan looks like a girl to me. Although her shoulders and arms are quite muscular, they don't look like muscles on a guy--there's a layer of subcutaneous fat that a guy wouldn't have. She's also not particularly hairy; I don't see a lot of cosplayer guys remembering to shave their arms first. (Scary, scary Sailor Moon at Comic-Con . . . .) She's certainly quite fit! I'm not wild about the hockey mask accessory--looks like a rather disturbing crossover character to me--but the rest of the costume is well-made. And it's first-series Jun, which is always a plus. (I just always thought the yo-yo was a much cooler weapon than that gun. ) Note the expression on the guy wearing the tank top in the background? He looks like he's thinking, "Ooo, pretty chick . . . ack! No, don't mess with that one!"

I didn't even notice that at first!

What's with the extra mask on the Swan, I don't get it. Also I swear that Jun in the first picture looks like my sister's boss/friend at our local video store. And that Galactor cosplayer is good, but shouldn't the mask be going over his eyes?

okay, I really, REALLY need to do comic con...

Oh God, my hubby will flip his lid if I do them all.... Still, its doesnt hurt any one pricing them up... Flights may be cheap.... Mega Con is too close, Feb. No time to save up. Comic Con... I'll have a look at flights, hotels, etc.

I've heard that flights might actually be cheap this year, do to the airlines needing more people to travel.

Originally posted by gatchgirl I've heard that flights might actually be cheap this year, do to the airlines needing more people to travel.

And the price of fuel going down. (Now I don't need to pay a fuel surcharge.)

Actually flights have been cheap lately...

Yeah, My flight to Dragon Con in Atlanta in Sept was £350 return, on BA! BA, usually I cant afford to fly with them. Mind you, the flight was £99, taxes and charges £251

Hi all! I do have one recommendation if you're thinking about attending Comic Con this July: Buy your membership NOW. For one thing, it's at the best price you're going to get for them, as they usually become more expensive as the convention gets closer. Also, if you want to attend, you have to buy your membership in advance, as there will be no onsite registration. And yes, they will sell out. Memberships are available through the Comic Con website at: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/ So, save yourself some headaches later and take care of that detail now -- while you still can. James

Okay, more cosplay. Some good, some not so good... Condor and Swallow: Swan with yo-yo: Goons: A very scary Gatchaman: And... cover your eyes.... for those who wanted to see a man dressed as the Swan...

I can go you one better - from this year's ComicCon (and no - I didn't take the picture, nor am I in it... thank goodness!!!!!) Cover your eyes...... You've been warned.....

I've seen that before. I STILL don't know if it's a guy or a girl!!! And it took me awhile to realize that it was supposed to be G5 and not G2!!! I quote from the Big Bang Theory: "What happens at Comic Con, stays at Comic Con." But not if people get a picture.

Oh, My Hino. And what is with the flip flops. I do not think G5 could run very far wearing flip flops. Not that I think that G5 could run very far anyways, nor do I think I would want to see him run. And TJ that is truly one scary Eagle.

Manly swan in tennis shoes? Joe doesn't look too bad lol...

I love the goons and the Galactor Commander. I am more likely to wear that then spandex in public - but congratulations to the bold souls who live their dream!

The goon costumes looks great, but that's one SCARY Joe.

I agree, Goons get the thumbs up but that Ryu.... Some one posted it on the B3ta site the other week and like TJ, we still cant decide on male or female . Ps - Going to be updating my katse diary with boots and gloves soon.

Anybody have any ideas on how to make helmets?

If I had to guess, probably try using paper mache (spelling?) and fiberglass...

Whoo hoo! I'm looking forward to that!!!!!

Originally posted by Askura Anybody have any ideas on how to make helmets?

I'm experimening with fibreglass but the really good ones are made from vacu-forming. You make a model from clay and vaccum the plastic round it. I'm looking to see if any colleges do courses or anything . I asked for a quote from the bloke who did the really good costumes for Alex Ross, he said he could make me one for $800!

Can't wait to view that!

Gogirl, I so understand your thoughts. I hold nothing against people that want to live out their dreams. That's why my thoughts tend to say that if I go as a condor, it will be in civilian dress. Even then, I won't do him justice at all.

Originally posted by Askura Anybody have any ideas on how to make helmets?

My first thought is a motorcycle helmet, but I guess the other ideas would be better.

Motorcycle helmets would be good, but can be expensive... Veritas... can't wait to see more progress on your Katse costume!

Originally posted by shamrokchick Motorcycle helmets would be good, but can be expensive...

Maybe a good garage sale, or flea market. Still might be hard to find one at one of them.
