As in past years, the costumers came out in full force for C2E2 in 2012. The creations of these talented and creative fans are one of the highlights of the convention floor.
The convention is simply too large to see every costume, so I’m sure our team missed out on seeing many fantastic costumes throughout the weekend. We did our best to photograph as many as we could to share with our readers.
Current pop culture usually has an impact on costume choices. As expected, characters from The Avengers were frequently seen this year. Captain America seemed to be a particularly popular choice, whether it was the movie version or the classic comic book version. The Hunger Games inspired a good number of costumers. I was somewhat surprised to see more dressed as Effie Trinket than Katniss though. Current favorite television shows Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead were also represented, although not in as large of numbers. The ongoing Steampunk trend doesn’t seem to be losing any momentum either.
Classic characters were out in full force as well. The X-Men seem to be highly costumed at any convention, and this one was no exception. Nintendo characters continued to be a favorite. Star Wars costumes, both classic and the newer Clone Wars-era, could be found in large numbers throughout the weekend. Batman characters were prevalent and seemed to be an especially big hit with the fans. Disney princesses were appropriately popular on Children’s Day on Sunday. There was even a Voltron on Saturday, although I was only able to glimpse the costume from some distance. By the time I pushed my way through the crowd with my camera, Voltron was gone.
