Aaaannndddd here’s part three of my Megacon 2011 photo gallery! Yay! Hope you all like the photos.
The best part about going to conventions like Megacon is all the amazing costumes and the people behind them. Megacon has grown to become my favorite con. Every year I meet new people and have so many conversations about the nerdiest stuff on earth. I love it. I wish it was a quarterly thing. I would so go every quarter year. *sigh*
Here is part two of our three-part super sized Megacon 2011 photo gallery. All photos taken by yours truly. Enjoy!
Alrighty, folks, I have posted photos of myself and friends at Megacon, but I am finally done organizing my favorite photos from the con, taken by yours truly. I took A LOT of photos, so I apologize for the amount of time it has taken me to sort through ‘em all.
I will be breaking up these galleries into 3 different posts. So here is one of three. The other two will be coming shortly! Enjoy!
Open the full post to see the entire gallery.
This will be my third year going to the nerd extravaganza known as Megacon. The con runs from March 25th to the 27th. (Fri-Sun). Visit the official Megacon website for event details and location.
I have had a great time attending Megacon the past two years, and this year is (hopefully) going to be even better. The con has showed steady growth. And with larger crowds comes better content.
I predict Megacon might just become the southern equivalent of Otakon or perhaps even the eastern Comic-Con. It’s in a great area and is accessible to those bordering on the outside of Florida.
I hope to see ya there! I’ll be taking photos and cosplaying in my Subject Delta costume.

ThunderCats was a little before my time. I don’t have any personal connections to it. But perhaps I can finally get into the franchise with this new anime reboot of the series, produced for Cartoon Network. Visually, it looks appealing. Action looks decent, but I can’t gauge the story, being that no vocal narrative is added to trailer. It’s a good enough teaser to get old fans mouth-watering over the reboot, I suppose.
Oh, hey there Major. How YOU doin? Mmmm, yea. That’s good.
No details on who took these photos or who the cosplayer is. :/ sorry.
Full disclosure, I never played any of the .Hack video games. I don’t know a lot about them. I am posting these cosplay photos because I generally thought they looked cool. The cosplayer’s name is Max Shino. The character he is cosplaying as is Haseo, from the .hack//G.U. video game. Photography by Hexlord.
Why does Marvel even bother producing these Saturday morning X-Men cartoon? The anime genre is where it’s at! Just watch this trailer for the upcoming X-Men anime and try to tell me you didn’t shed a single tear of joy.
The first convention I attended was Otakon back in 2004. During that con I was introduced to the world of cosplay. I saw some amazing costumes, and some bad costumes. But the pinnacle of bad costumes always seemed to be the hideous InuYasha costumes. Not that the character InuYasha looks bad himself, but the people who dress up as the character just do such a lazy uninspired job. So through the years InuYasha cosplay started becoming a stereotype / icon of bad cosplay to me.
So imagine my shock, after 7 years of associating InuYasha with terrible cosplay, that I come across an InuYasha cosplay that isn’t just good, it’s inspiring! And that is what we have below in these cosplay photos, taken by photographer Bruce Heinsius. I don’t have any information on the cosplayer besides her first name, which is Joanne. But I have to say, great photography and great work on the costume. I am impressed.

Dressing yourself up as the Afro Samurai isn’t a challenge by any means, but all of the Afro Samurai cosplayers I have seen just seem to be lacking commitment to detail.
Example: one cosplayer will have the right sword and head band, but the clothing will be off. And vice versa with other Afro cosplayers.
But finally, I have come across an Afro cosplayer that nailed the entire design and really embodies the character in these photos.
Good photography makes all the difference!
No luck finding the cosplayer’s name. Aall these photos were taken from the photographer’s page, and not the cosplayer. But good job, whoever you are. Mr. Mysterious cosplayer!

The only thing that could make this video any better is a Inception trailer track mash up. BWWAAAMMMM, as the building starts to fold and transform. You’ll see what I mean. Watch the video.
I am not up to date on Robot Taekwon V history, so I can’t tell you much about the Robot itself. Read up on it via the official wikipedia page, by clicking here.
