My First San Diego Comic Con part 3: Cosplay Group A

Welcome back to part 3 of My First San Diego Comic ConPart 1 was a primer of things to come, and in Part 2 we met X-Men legend, Chris Claremont! Today we take a look at the most unique element of SDCC that almost everybody looks forward to: Cosplay!

On Friday I met some awesome Cosplayers who were not only dedicated to their characters, but were very willing to be photographed. We have three groups of Cosplay pictures to showcase, this one being the first, and with each group you will have the opportunity to vote for your favorites in the poll below! The Top 4 Cosplayers from each of the three groups (A, B, and C) will be featured in the Top 12 Cosplayers of SDCC 2010 poll which will go live on Sunday. There will be a prize given out to the top 2 vote getters from MyTeeSpot.com (details below), so be sure to voice your opinion on who you think has the best costume!

I’m not going to pretend like I know who all these Cosplayers are supposed to be, but I’ll try my best. To keep things simple, each Cosplayer is assigned a number you can find in the poll below. I apologize in advance for some of the blurry pictures- that Con floor was packed with people. So get voting!

1. A Stormtooper and Imperial Officer
2. Ravager
3. Shazam
4. I honestly have no clue who these people are...video game characters? Regardless, they look awesome! Especially the chick on the right. You can't see it in the photo, but she had these cool contacts in too.
5. Superman
6. Harley and Joker
7. Umm...sexy elf girls?
8. Red X guy (or girl). He was way cool. He struck some awesome poses for everyone...but I'm not sure what he's from.
9. Kick-Ass!
10. Scout Trooper and Jawas. This is a dad and his two kids. Freakin' hilarious!
11. Optimus Prime
12. Voltron! ...I'm not sure if this was a Cosplay or a company character. Regardless, it's really well done!
13. The Riddler
14. Boushh the bounty hunter. Luckily, he wasn't threatening me with a thermal detonator.
15. A clan of Mandalorians and Boushh.
16. The hottest Jedi on the Con floor.
17. The cutest Imperial Trooper
18. Sassy Manadlorian chick.
19. Who you gonna call? ...a shaky camera operator!
20. Zombie Stormtrooper and Obi-Wan Kenobi
21. R2-D2. Again, I'm not sure if this was a Cosplay or something specific for a booth. Either way, it's cool.

Now VOTE for your favorites! The Top 4 from this group will move on to our Top 12 Cosplayers from SDCC 2010 poll which will be posted on Sunday!

    Damn, it’s too hard to pick just one!

  2. Eli

    I think I’m going with the dad and two kids. Just awesome!

    Also, if I could vote for the worst, it’d be Ravager. What the heck is that guy, I think its a dude, thinking! Gotta be the ugliest Ravager ever.

  3. Andy

    Eli- Ravager is a chick. The picture doesn’t do her justice. She was kinda cute in person. I blame the camera man!!

  4. Himynameisnick

    I think Red X is a cover identity that Robin used in the Teen Titans cartoon.

  5. Eli

    Andy, seriously, thats a girl. Man o man you must have one magic camera there, cuz I would swear that thats a dude. Although, I can make out what seem to be boobies. OK, well, I guess I was really wrong. I’d like to apologize to that Ravager girl for thinking she was a man. Sorry Rose

  6. Arnab

    I thought his name was Captain Marvel.

    Either way, my vote goes to the Trooper and Jawas.

  7. Billy

    Voltron +1…and yes, Red X is from Teen Titans.

  8. Princess Powerful

    Zombified Star Wars characters! I vote yes 🙂

  9. Tony K

    Thanks for posting the pics. Btw, the unknown group of soldiers are from a minitures wargame called Warhammer 40K. They are all various soldiers from various armies. It recently has become a video game as well. Thanks!

    Red X is the evil version of Robin from the Teen Titans :). He intended to use his alter persona to infiltrate and gain the trust of Slade. But his plan backfired…yeah.
