GI Joe Costuming – Planet Comicon 2014
Planet Comicon, Kansas City’s yearly comic book/pop culture convention is going on again in my hometown. I stopped in today to scope it out, and check out the GI Joe presence. Last year, I ran into members of The Finest, a GI Joe costuming club. This time, the group also had a table at the show. In attendance this time in terms of costumes were Flint and Buzzer.
The booth also had a few helmets on display, including Flash, Destro and a Crimson Guard. As a nice little throwback touch, there was also a free book of coloring pages for the kiddos. I would have asked for one myself, but I’d feel a little apprehensive as a grown man asking a Dreadnok for a coloring book.
As a businessman, I’m not sure Destro would be putting the Cobra logo on his own MARS badges. They’re his customers, after all. Pretty cool pictures.
Yesterday, i went to a Jeep muster with my Dad. I was cosplaying as my namesake but i didnt manage to get any footage of myself though.
I was there today. Saw these guys, pretty cool. The Con was awesome unless you were there for GI Joe. There was Nothing…well maybe a few vintage boxed items. But that’s it.
Looks like Buzzer needs to cut back on the chocolate donuts and grape soda.:)
All you had to do was ask the nice Dreadnok for a coloring book – for your son. Remember, if you’re too old to ask for something, this also means you’re old enough to be caring for someone who’d want it.
Nice work, FINEST!
