Answer for question 4547.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Best I wore was either my Son Goku worn for AnimeEast in the Great Dragonball Skit, or Mr. Incredible, both made by our friend Claudia.

Best I've ever seen from someone else? Jeez, that'd be REALLY hard to say. There's a LOT of competition now at ComicCons, with people that have spent months building picture-perfect costumes, like ones that duplicate Iron Man down to the lit-up eyes and so on. Best I ever PERSONALLY saw and knew how was built was the Saint Cloth of Andromeda Shun worn by a friend of mine; the armor was carefully built up from fiberglass using the machines in his father's car-restoration shop.

Best I've ever seen? Hard to say -- the one that I *liked* best was "Slave-boys of Gor," by (I think) Jerry Jacks and crew, which pretty much put an end to slave-girl costumes, at least on the West coast.

Funny costumes stick in my head better.

But the best costumes I've ever seen were groups organized by Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, I think.

Best I think I've seen on video was either the Hulkbuster Iron Man costume -- full-sized walk-around costume with lighting -- or the 8.5-foot-tall Sauron costume (using the LotR movie armor design) walking around ComiCon.
