Comic Con 2016 #4 of 6 - Cosplay UPDATED 7.31

Among the crowds.... and the displays and booths... you'll find wandering delights of creative cosplay.
A Star Wars themed family... with a jr. Captn. America
This booth display of a toy box you could pose in was popular with attendees
and cosplayers...
 Darth Duck...
meets Darth Vader..
Roaming groups like these SNL skit versions of Kylo Ren as "Matt"...
and this community of Deadpool players...



Several costumes make use of stilts....
One of the most popular combos.... Kylo and Rey (here coplayed by two sisters!).
Adored all the baby Reys!

Rey and BB8.
The Saturday attendee crowd enters the exhibit hall....
Alas, poor Deadpool..
This duo was stopped frequently for photo requests...
Live action Cinderella cosplay
Disney Princess Jedi Mash-up
Can you spot the costumes in the crowd....


This Minion Captn. America nearly stalled street traffic the night before.. due to surrounding crowd snapping photos of this fun creation..
Rare moment of rest...
Cosplayers are encouraged by convention staff to keep moving around.....



Many cosplayers were acts in motion... like this Raptor trainer...

Popular pair of dinos (below).. were dressed as Jedis and deuling with light sabers...


Not all cosplay is super  heroes....

Just as busy outside the venue...

Outdoor cosplay photo ops too...
Long lines for shuttle bus....
All kinds of press coverage. Here two action heroines check out stedi-cam footage just shot..
UPDATE 7.31
Here's link that shows the video montage ... you can see cosplayers above at the 1.44 mark in the clip..http://nerdist.com/the-best-of-sdcc-cosplay-is-here-in-new-montage-video/


At least inside the hall there was AC... (most of the time :)











Roving teams offering free cosplay repairs...


Genre mash-ups .. so creative.
Steampunk droids...
Lilo Fett...

Some even take the annual convention "loot bags" handed out with admission badges...

And fashion their own work of art... (see more artists and attractions in the 5 other Comic Con 2016 posts on the blog)
