K, time for one last look at the cosplay of New York Comic Con 2014. Yesterday’s tour came to a close while on the subject of video games, and guess what? There’s plenty more on that end. Kicking things off is a kid dressed as Crash Bandicoot. What really sells it for me is the pubestache, of course…
Yet another mash-up, this time Pokemon X Monster Hunter…
Pokemon X/Y’s Team Flare; for a team that’s all about making the world a beautiful place to be, they’re at least holding up their part of the deal by looking quite dapper…
There’s a lot to love about this Smash Bros ensemble, from the Link’s tiny shield to the totality of Pac-Man…
Animal Crossing’s Villager photobombing hipster Skyward Sword Zelda…
Yet another Villager, this one being flat out laughed at by Isabelle, right in his face (guess he’s not handing his mayoral responsibilities very well)…
Majora’s Mask’s Link and Skull Kid…
These Ice Climbers are totally fab-u-lous…
A slightly unconventional Mario cosplayer…
Again, kinda shocked I haven’t seen this one before: someone cosplaying as Mario Kart’s blue shell…
Though the best Mario Kart cosplay of the show, without question, would have to be this trio…
Epic sax guy here was actually playing the song!
As someone who finds the whole Sharknado “craze” rather eye rolling, even I had to admit that I got a chuckle out of the following. Though if she’s actually part of the marketing machine, I take it back of course…
Speaking of powers that be, the folks who run NYAFF this year got high marks across the board for posting signs all over the place like this one (which was designed by Amy Reader)…
An android woman sans makeup…
I have absolutely no idea what this pair is all about, though It definitely feels anime-ish…
I have absolutely no idea what this pair is all about, part 2…
Once more, am totally clueless here; tried asking for clarification, but as you can you probably guess, the person was unable to field or answer questions…
99% of the cosplay you’ll see at NYCC or likewise is inspired some movie/tv show/book/comic/video game/etc. And the remaining 1% can be classified under “other”. In this particular case, the cosplayer was seemingly inspired by what was handy at the local 99-cent store…
And this dude was dressed this way to get attention for his web comic (and I totally forgot the URL, oops)…
Whereas this woman was cosplaying as mental patient, not for fun but as performance art or something like that. I was confused by the explanation…
Best Doctor Who cosplayer of the entire weekend…
I became aquatinted with Ebony Amber when she showed up one day, in this totally insane (and totally awesome) tribute to The Wizard of Oz in dress form…
… A closer look…
… Then the very next day, she was back as Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth!
Speaking of transformations, perhaps my absolute fave cosplay of the entire show was this kid as Grimlock who could actually transform…
Naturally the final Instagrammed cosplay pic I’m going to share is that of this guy…
… And with that, we’ve officially hit the halfway point of my NYCC 2014 recap! Yes, there’s that much more ground to cover. See you next Monday!
