MegaCon 2016, The Best Cosplay, Pt 2

Oooh, you guys are gonna love this final batch! (Click here if you missed Part 1!)

Starting with these stunning ladies:

Jessica Rabbit and Maleficent know how to make it look good to be bad.


 I will never stop loving Effie Trinket's butterfly dress. NEVER.

 
 ::faints::

 I *think* this is the same Effie I photographed at Dragon Con a few years back:

This was always one of my favorite shots, so hey, any excuse to post it again. :D

Now some lovelies with a heaping helping of badassery:

Merida is a reader and friend of mine, Traci. And I *want* to be friends with Robin, because that armor! Ah! [bows down]

John stepped out as Dreamfinder on Sunday, and not only did we find a fellow Figment...

...LOOK AT HER FEET.

I don't know why I'm crushing on those three toes in flip-flops so much, but I really am. Plus she was wearing yellow contacts!

Beautiful makeups:

A couple of Big Guys:

I like to think Baymax steps in to fix everything/one the Juggernaut breaks. :D

A perfect Nightmare Before Christmas group:

Looooove lady Jack Skellington, and how her hair mimics Jack's round head. Plus she's holding Zero!

This is a lousy photo, but here's the incredible Groot we waited in line with for the costume contest:


And the Wolverine in the background is his dad, who made it! I can't tell you how beautiful this costume was in person, you guys - I'm shocked he didn't win any of the categories.

Speaking of, here are two of the lovely ladies who did win:

Samurai Sailor Moon (SO CUTE) won Best Anime, I think, and Zelda Twilight Princess won Best Children's.

Back to Sunday again with an incredible Edward Scissorhands:
 

And the creepiest lady Predator:

My friend Stephanie as a young Professor Sprout:

She did ribbon embroidery on her hat with teensy bees and flowers, and her plant - a mimbulus mimbletonia - is made from foam balls and clay.

These three - Mai, Azula, & Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender - posed perfectly in character:

The cutest little Rey plus Aurora and Ariel as Star Wars fighter pilots:

Disney parks goodness:

That's the famous Haunted Mansion tightrope girl (her umbrella is behind her; I caught them just as they were about to sit down) with the famous Redhead from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride!

 And can I just say how thrilling it is to see cosplays of a Disney ride painting and a Disney ride animatronic? Look around, look around! How lucky we are to be alive right now!

Ahem.

References for you non-hardcore Dizgeeks:

 Srsly, these ladies NAILED IT.

While we're talking Disney parks, here's my favorite of John's Dreamfinder encounters:

Most kids are nudged into taking a picture by their parents, but this little Sweetie couldn't wait to hug Figment. D'awwwwww.

I also managed to catch the world's cutest little Moogle just as she spotted John with Figment:

She couldn't take her eyes off him, but our attempts to get a photo of her with Figment were met with, er, less enthusiasm. Ha!

A little Hocus Pocus:

And one of the most stunning Furry heads I've seen in ages:

That Griffin beak is blowing my mind - and those green eyes!

Spot-on Harley and Joker from the new Suicide Squad:

I could be wrong, but I *think* her gum bubble was a prop. If so, it's friggin' brilliant.

Remember those gorgeous Hogwarts witches from my last post? Here they are as Fauna and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty:

And I later caught up with the whole trio:


Flora is none other than DaVid McCarthy, who was Lockhart in my last post! Each made their own gowns, and you can see more of their work on Instagram: Flora, Fauna, Merryweather

So I had to Google why this next He-Man is blue, and the answer is friggin' fascinating:

(makeup by CaraG Makeup) 
 
Turns out he's actually Faker, an evil He-Man replica who served Skeletor, but here's the fascinating bit: this character exists almost exclusively as a toy. He was never in the show in this form, and only showed up in one mini-comic later on.

Faker was really just a repaint of the He-Man doll put in Skeletor's chest armor, plus a chest sticker under the armor that showed "inner robotic workings." Which is why this cosplayer has a glowing screen on his chest.

This is ridiculously cool, you guys.

My friend Chris is hardcore into vintage action figures, and even though I am not, I love listening to him explain things like this, and just sharing his passion. In fact, that's what it is: I am delighted by people's passions. If you're excited about it, and it's something I know nothing about, then I want to hear it. So I am delighted that I just learned something new and nerdy with this cosplay. DELIGHTED I SAY.

Ok. Moving on.

THE most beautiful Skull Kid (wearing Majora's Mask):

The face underneath even has glowing eyes. Gorgeous.

And finally, a trio of princesses looking pretty in pink!

Giselle, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.

I believe all of these gowns are DaVid's work. I especially like Cinderella's; you don't see her pink dress too often!

As always, I have lots more photos than I had room for here, so head over to my Flickr account to see the rest. (It pains me how brutally I had to cut these down, you guys. PAINS ME. So give a gander to the rest of the lovelies, and of course be sure to tag anyone you know!)

Hope you all enjoyed your virtual trip to MegaCon with me!
