The MMORPG.com team made it out to New York City last week for the East Coast version of the long-running Comic Con convention. Part and parcel of many conventions are the excellent costumes put together by avid cosplayers and we're glad to bring you this collection of some of the show's best!
@Xondar everyone likes attention. And when you are an attractive woman dressed like a slut around geeky guys who for the most part probably don't have much luck with women you are bound to get a ton of attention.
The other half of that group is the ones who get paid to stand there and likely don't enjoy the attention much at all and by the end of the day want to run out of there screaming.
I dunno if it's that they all want attention. There aren't a whole lot of females in comics/anime that dress modestly. Most characters wear really tight outfits or really skimpy outfits.
And isn't it conceivable that some girls actually like this stuff, and don't just dress up for attention or because they'e being paid?
1. Yaya-Han was there and you only got one shot? (She had multiple costumes for this event) For those who dont know she might just be one of the best cosplayers in the world. Was there an issue for how it was being used?
2. After seeing the some of the male costumes i'm hoping there's a counterpart (Batman and Ironman were both sick)
Overall nice but i'd have used different music. The shots werent bad but a few were too close in my opinion. Still a nice collection of vids from the show. Nice to see some of the more intricate ones. Lightning's was exceptionally done. And did anyone else see the lightsabers? When did they make ones that good?
@ Xondar
Some genuinely enjoy it. (see enough of it at college) also in the case of one (the best of the wonderwoman shots.) Yaya-Han who i talked about in 1 Is a pro at this stuff. She designs all of her costumes and creates them herself. http://yayahan.com/
There are some nice shots but overall i wish it had been a higher quallity camera. It's intresting to see what some people come up with and while there is a certain 'factor' to most of this There really is some exceptional work here.
Went to the San Diego CC a few years ago. I talked to several of the people in costumes. The women were dressed like that because they enjoy the power (maybe energy is a better word) of the character. The guys most often were dressed up because they liked the violence of the character. They all liked to pose but mostly wanted respect for the effort.
well, over 5000 views and 38 posts.. lemme sum up what most of these cool kids are saying but wont post 'OMG, boobs!' and thinking 'hmm, thats what a woman looks like, only if I could leave my basement and see one for realz..'
It's good to see that most of the people shown were actual nerds in cosplay rather than vapid booth bunnies getting paid to stand there looking "sexy"... As a nerd and avid convention attendee it always felt like condescension to me and I found it a turn-off when a vendor hired them. /min-rant
That was great, definently lol'd at some of those.
Tue Oct 12 2010 2:03PM ReportI keep hearing the term 'freakazoid' in that music for some reason. :)
Tue Oct 12 2010 2:26PM ReportNow if only we had equity here for our female readers (and staff, LOL!) who might like to see the GUYS of NYCC. :D
Tue Oct 12 2010 2:44PM ReportI don't know when princess leia started being portrayed by women with above average sized chests but...... nice, very nice.
Clearly the camera person was a breast fan, almost no fully body shots to see the whole outfits/booty.
Tue Oct 12 2010 2:45PM ReportCaptain America needs to lay off the pie's and Darth Vadar with boobs....someting so wrong about that mental image.
Tue Oct 12 2010 2:57PM ReportPerfect choice of music... :-P
Tue Oct 12 2010 3:00PM ReportWhy do girls dress like this? Do they enjoy getting covered in more lonely geek boy slobber than usual?

Tue Oct 12 2010 3:42PM Reportyea, there were some really scary looking ones in there...I lol's pretty hard at the "big" guy in the nick fury costume tho...
Tue Oct 12 2010 4:03PM ReportI'm always amazed at how many different versions of beautfiul there are.
Tue Oct 12 2010 4:29PM Reportembed doesnt work
Tue Oct 12 2010 4:29PM ReportI'm a guy and I like women and boobs. Soon as I saw this title I'm thinking.....ya...
There is no sexism to see here. Move along.
Tue Oct 12 2010 5:57PM ReportThat made my day.
Tue Oct 12 2010 6:25PM Report@ SnarlingWolf
Pretty harsh to say they are dressed like sluts. Me thinks you hate women in general.

Tue Oct 12 2010 8:31PM ReportOk. A few things.

Wed Oct 13 2010 7:33PM Report+1 for featuring Molotov Cocktease and General Treister. Nothing short of epic, but if only their costumes were better.
Wed Oct 13 2010 10:44PM ReportDarn no shots of my friend and her other friend who went...tho she was dressed as a bellydancer but looked like her normal outfits anyways lol.
Wed Oct 13 2010 11:22PM ReportNot sure what the gal in the fur outfit is meant to be but now I get why some peeps like dodgy furrie stuff. :)

Thu Oct 14 2010 6:43PM ReportIt sort of bothers me how people are dressed up as characters from series that aren't even comics. wtf.
Thu Oct 14 2010 7:23PM ReportSome nicely endowed Leia's there ;P
Fri Oct 15 2010 7:57AM ReportFondel:
I'm not sure what is more pathetic; the fact that I am making a joke that you can not seem to comprehend, or your sheer lack of humor.
Fri Oct 15 2010 11:51AM ReportI need a sock!
Fri Oct 15 2010 4:22PM ReportSo it's safe to say that there were maybe 3 attractive women at Comic Con..glad I didn't waste the money.
Fri Oct 15 2010 5:51PM Report0:21 that's what's up. Hot nerdy girls is where it's at :)
Fri Oct 15 2010 8:12PM ReportWhat? You mean 0:25. The one on the left. Wait for it... ok.. Smile...YES. Good. [PAUSE] *PRINT*

If you can't see the humor in the coments then I'll laugh for you.

Sat Oct 16 2010 5:56AM ReportNerds paradise
Sun Oct 17 2010 12:54AM ReportI was at this years Con, and you didn't show the other 50,000 overweight girls. This is a total misrepresentation.
Sun Oct 17 2010 11:43PM Reportto Tox , Oh you mean the ratio of of overweight to hot woman was much like real life, wow funny how that happens.
Mon Oct 18 2010 10:25AM Reportvader with cleavage. just enuf for me to go to the dark side
Mon Oct 18 2010 11:09AM ReportDang... mmoguy43 has a point LOL. Got too tied up in all the hottness to notice that one. Man I'd wind up getting kicked out of that place lol...
Tue Oct 19 2010 10:40PM ReportNice! I wish you guys had more vids of comic con 2010!
Wed Oct 20 2010 12:43AM ReportI like the scowl on that blond's face at 0:17. She's like "Don't look at me nerds...I'm too good for you." Boot her out of there!
Mon Nov 15 2010 2:17PM ReportGamer chicks are HOT. Thanks ladies.
Fri Nov 19 2010 11:24PM ReportThe chick dressed as princess leia at 13 secs in is the hottest. It's in the jerk bank.
