The Best Cosplay of Florida Supercon 2016, Pt 2!

[Here's Part 1, in case you missed it!]

Let's dive back in to Supercon's best cosplay with this adorable switcheroo:

 

 Elsa is wearing Jack Frost's costume, and Jack's wearing hers! Hee!

 And more cuteness: steampunk Legend of Zelda kids!

That's Link, Midna, & Zelda.

Quick reference, since some of you may not know Midna:

Not sure on this character, but look how pretty:

Update: Aha! She's a Naga based on this illustration by artist Sakizo:

And joining her in the costume contest was this excellent Beauty and the Beast group!

Especially love that Lumier.

It made me SO HAPPY to see this young genderswapped Harley, you guys:

Seeing how fans make a character their own is one of my favorite things about cons. I'll walk past 10 screen-accurate Halo armors to get this shot, because I want to show you the amount of creativity and passion out there. It's not always about the best builds. It's about loving what you love and having fun showing it off!

Undertale, that hilarious 8-bit video game I reviewed last April, continues to be huge in cosplay:

Some references - see if you can match up who's who!

Mettaton and Undyne:

And here's Mettaton's *other* form, plus a great Alphys:

This Mettaton even had a soundboard in there, playing the 8-bit sound effects!


Derek Zoolander showing off Blue Steel:

:D


More prettiness I'm not sure of:

Check out those gorgeous bracers!

[Update: She may be Serenity from Sailor Moon. Thx, Tiassa!]

And while I'm admitting my ignorance... um... HALP:

[UPDATE: I feel like a bad Orlandian; these guys are actually a local band called Killer Robots!]

Getting back into familiar territory, this Gundam went on to win the costume contest - and it's easy to see why!

AHHHHmazing.

(That's Ubers Cosplay, btw, if you want to follow him!)

Superman's prop was out of this world:

Eh? EH?

And oh yes, there was Hamilton cosplay:

I also never realized 'til now how similar Eliza's gown is to Wendy's from Peter Pan.

Not sure if this is the same cosplayer, but at one point a Belle swept by with her nose in a book - literally navigating the crowded vendor room while reading. And it was amazing.

That awkward moment when a gender-swapped Velma has better legs than you:

AND can walk in heels better. AND just made you realize you want to dress like Velma now.

Better shot of that lovely Ariel:


Any Fallout fans out there? John LOVES these games, so this Fallout/Star Wars mashup made him grin:

Check out the holstered Nuka Cola - it even glowed! SO COOL.

For reference, in the Fallout games you play as a Lone Wanderer in this outfit:

Another great thing about cons: with every new fandom you get into, you suddenly understand & recognize that much more of the cosplay and merchandise around you. John and I decided it's like unlocking special con achievements. So since I just started watching Fairy Tail, ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: now I recognize more characters! And since John just finished binge-watching The Walking Dead, he got to geek out over these two:

I think Michonne's his favorite.

You also see the best family bonding at cons:

And I love how happy they were to be asked for a photo. Sometimes I take for granted that asking to take a picture is a compliment - which is why you should never be afraid to ask!


When Pikachu decides to split:

:D

More video game goodness: a gender-swapped Handsome Jack from Borderlands aaaand:

Claptrap!! I'll always have a soft spot for that crazy beat-boxing robot. ;)

Star Wars: Dark Side vs Light

Peridot and Steven from Steven Universe:

And a reference:

On Saturday John and I got to see most of the voice actors from Steven Universe, and I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a panel:

The theater was gorgeous and huge, so sorry I didn't grab a better photo; I like hanging out in the back. The SU cast was delightful, and I never got tired of hearing Pearl's and Amethyst's voices especially, coming out of real people. Ha! Oh, and they all did the Cookie Cat rap together! LOVE.

And finally, here's a... er... unique piece of art John acquired from our friend (and amazing artist) Bianca:

It's a flower, talking sh*t.

:D

Hope you guys enjoyed your virtual visit to Supercon!
