Top 5 Most Creative Dragon*Con 2010 Costumes
Posted by Bill Meeks on September 10th, 2010As some of you know both I and Justin Robert Young attended the amazing Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA this past weekend. EVERY type of fandom is represented at this mega-convention, and cosplay is the main event. I spent approximately 60 billion hours walking the floor just taking it all in while trying to avoid drunk people piking on the floor, and what follows are the five most creative Dragon*Con costumes I saw.
5. Alien
While technically not the most creative costume, it was very well put together with many moving parts.
The person wearing it stayed in character throughout all of Friday as well.
If you missed it, you can see me give the xenomorph a hug during the Live NSFW Show filmed at Dragon*Con (I’m the one in the Spider-Man shirt).
4. Handy Man & Sidekick
These two special fellows were a big hit on Sunday.
3. Bob Ross
This guy walked around with a constant smile throughout the ‘Con, though you could see it in his eyes that he may have consumed one too many ‘happy little trees.’
2. Batman Boba Fett
While he appears to have let himself go, this combo costume really makes me want a DC/Dark Horse Elseworlds special where the Empire enlists an army of clone Bruce Waynes.
And finally…
1. Literal Iron Man
You can’t see it in this picture, but the logo on the back says that this ‘Iron’ Man was made by… ready to groan…? STARCH INDUSTRIES.
Amazing costuming work on this one, and easily my favorite costume of the ‘Con. Can’t wait for 2011!
