Title: New York Comic Con 2017
Post by: Master Nero Attoru on October 12, 2017, 10:34:47 AM
Anyone else go?  Feel free to post pics of your costumes here!  I was there, perhaps I ran into you...

Here are some of mine!  My buddy and his gf went as Kylo Ren and Rey, so my wife and I decided to mirror them.  I got some monk's cloth and sewed up a brown Kylo overcoat (with Jedi tabards), and we put together a pretty simple black version of Rey's TFA look for her.  Here are the results!

First up, the wife and I posing.  She's using a red Dark Sentinel with extensions to make a Rey saberpike.  I'm using a Tri-AB Prophecy (closest thing I had to a Graflex)

We got a great pic with Ashley Eckstein, voice of Ahsoka Tano and creator of Her Universe.  SUCH a nice lady!

Also got to meet Timothy Zahn, the legend we can all thank for the EU (now Legends) content!

Got a neat comparison shot between my buddy's helmet and mine.

Later on, we all went on a booze cruise.  It was a ton of fun!

Here are the friends we were with, they killed it with their costumes.

My buddy and I figured the Statue of Liberty would make an awesome backdrop for this pic...

Ran into an old friend from high school, and got a pic.  She did an awesome female Thor!

And finally, here's my crew.  We got stopped countless times for pictures, which was so much fun!

Overall, I had an amazing time, and I'm sure I'll have more pics to post soon.  In the meantime, post your pics here if you went!

Looks like a lot of fun was had! Great job on the cosplay. Did you pant your helmet?

Yeah, actually my buddy (the canon Kylo here) was the one who did it.  He thought brown with gold accents would look cool, and I think it really did!

Epic pics there! Thanks so much for sharing! Your costumes are superb and boy, meeting Ashley Eckstein, that's a treasure right there. Good for you guys! I would love to go. Did you stop by the Sideshow Collectibles booth? I thoroughly enjoyed the live video feed those guys did - made it feel like I was there. Huge fan of that company now and have lots of stuff on order with them.
