Here's a picture of my little GI Joe group.
I was not happy with the end result of my Cobra Commander costume. The suit and the mask were done by 2 different people and the chick who made the mask fucked it up in every way possible. Wrong color, wrong material, and it just failed. Unfortunately I have to live with it for one more week because GI Joe Con is in Orlando next weekend and I got to go to that.
And speaking GI Joe here's a picture of Lita in her steampunk Barroness costume *eyeroll*... that girl and her steampunk fascination. Oh well I know a few of you are fans of hers so enjoy.
MK was HUGE this year. There were a lot of people in MK costumes, and one group in particular knocked it out. These two were particularly good. Though I've got to wonder why he did Kung Lao. NOBODY likes Kung Lao. He's the Tito Jackson of Mortal Kombat.
Speaking of great costumes, this guy did the best Carnage I've ever seen. Totally knocked it out.
And this guy's Big Daddy was amazing. He had LCD lights on it, the mask lit up and the drill actually spun (that's why it's a little blurry). I can't even fathom how long that took to make.
And then we have Pedobear... though frankly the guy next to him is a hell of a lot creepier.
And for those of you who are mad I didn't get a lot of hot chick pictures with overflowiing cleavage.... well here ya go. Enjoy.
Wow. There's some really awesome stuff there.
Nice Link with excellents props.
Excellent Carnage outfit.
Hot Midna is hot.
Lita is always smokin'.
Woooooooo! Cleavage FTW!!!
You're Cobra Commander outfit looks great although I agree the hood should have been better but still a solid outfit overall.
Glad you dig the pictures.
As far as the Cobra Commander hood, it did look better in person (though not great), but god knows it did not photograph well at all. Going to see if I can make some adjustments to it before this weekend to see if I can keep the front a little more straight, so you can actually see my eyes through it.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileNahhhh he looks a like more like Mel Gibson
The guy is actually a very talented make-up artist. He and his brother do very impressive make-up and body painting all around the South-East US, and over the years he's become a fairly accomplished costumer as well. However, none of that forgives him for wasting time with Kung Lao...
I think Chuckles would be just as easy. Hawaiian shirt and fatigues. Done. In fact that's almost who I was going to do, but since my wife does Barroness, we figured I might as well do a Cobra costume.
Next week is G.I. Joe Collectors Convention - http://www.gijoecon.com/fl2011/ - and there will be some top notch costumes on hand. I'll be sure to get you some pics.
I love Lita ... bit of Bayonetta about her too in this latest look. Very very dishy

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

I don't remember a character called chuckles. I've seen all of the original series and I have issues 1-10 of the original comics. What about Snake Eyes? I'm guessing he is a costume favoirite? I would like to see Spirit and storm shadow. And of course Lady Jay and Scarlett.
I didn't get my whole photo group in there (because I wanted the picture of me that looked the best), but we also had a Snake Eyes and a Shipwreck. Snake Eyes is a pretty popular costume. Every con I go to we have at least 1 or 2. And in that photo we have a Scarlett and a Storm Shadow, though he wasn't wearing his mask at the time.
And Chuckles was sort of a final generation character during the 80's run. He showed up for about 5 seconds in the animated movie, but that was it. However later on in one of the more recent versions of the comic books he became a major character. Really interesting one at that. Sadly he was impaled by Serpentor... and no that's not a euphyism.

Ah, did not know Chuckles. The storm shadow guy without the mask is like storm shadow from the movie I guess.
Please tell me the Shipwrecked costumes have a parrot on the shoulder. They HAVE to.
I don't think I've ever seen a Shipwreck with a parrot. Odd... The one we had in our group actually did all the tattoos on his chest and arms (with a sharpie mind you), but he didn't have the parrot. Seems a big thing to miss.
I love the Zelda stuff, god that is so cool. The carnage costume is crazy as well. Your group looks great, I think the mask is fine.
Now more women please. 
What a combo!
Truth be told it really wasn't much of a weekend. I only went for Sunday since I had to watch the kids (me and my damned sperm), but I still had a good time for the few hours I was there. And as promised here are some pics to enjoy.
First we have Link making a very difficult selection (dude had some mad props)
Next we have another Link with a hot chick doing the Midna thing.
And finally we have Scarecrow kid. The concludes the Dvader tribute portion of our pictures.
And here's some proof that women are just plain evil. The chick in pink is hot, but that's not enough for her. She has to drag out her fat friend and dress her up in something similiar just so she can look that much better. Evil I tells ya.
