People generally wont answer because you started a whole thread for no particular reason when there are already threads for asking questions like this (for example >>8806851), and you haven't contributed anything yourself. Ask in the help threads about stuff like this and people will be more responsive

>>8811682
I meant for it to be a general like >>>8773452

the question was just to start things out m8

The rule is you can only start an AZ thread the weekend before a con

>>8796982
Someone understands the rules.

>>8796782
what's up, mike ya meme fuck

>>8821804
I have no idea about German law, but in the US the general rule is that you have to have that neon orange "cap" on the prop rifle. I would also avoid "brandishing" it outdoors.

I don't know what airports you'll be going through, but you'll probably end up in Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta at the end, lord help you. Here is their customer service line, they should be able to transfer you to someone that can answer your questions: +1 (404) 530-6667

If it's long and narrow try a hockey stick bag or ski/snowboard bag. People won't bat an eyelid at either.

>>8821804
If you get held up in customs over it, it might also help to have the OP pic on you to explain to the airport staff what you're doing.

i already heard about a few people who are pissed what with AA shit not being confirmed before hotel reg

Good. This needed to be done.

hate it....the lack of communication up front about it means that people get shafted. an easier procedure would be to limit hotel reg to 1 room per name.....this cuts down on scalpers at least.

i bought my badge today.....if i can't get a room i'm asking for a fucking refund or doing a chargeback on my CC. i was going to ghost this year, but the hotel debacle really canned that one.

Pretty non existent till they try to sell their stuff on a larger scale.

Cosplay doesnt pose a threat to the copy right holders, its free advertising and an expression of fan passion. But if you start to mass market stuff you cosplay, like say, if you cosplay a disney princess and decide to start selling disney princess dresses on a bigger scale than individual commissions, thats when the cease and desist letters might stop dropping.

The cosplayers in question were only told to stop when they started to sell their uniforms, at least to my understanding.

The way copyright allies to garments is a 1000000% different ball game than 2d art. While a fanartist making an illustration featuring a character whose original depiction was also an illustration is violating copyright (arguments about transformative work aside), making a three dimensional garment based on an illustration is not. Garments can't really be copyrighted on the same sense - you can copyright sewing patterns and the illustrated pattern on fabric and once in a great while you can patent means of production if you can prove they're very innovative. But not an outfit. This is why Walmart et al sell purses that LOOK LIKE designer purses but the print on the (faux) leather is different.

So if you were wearing a dress of spoonflower fabric covered in pokeballs it would be a violation but if you dress up like a giant paper mache pokeballs it isn't.

>>8825009

Garments are not subject to copyright protection but character designs are, as are things like Storm Trooper helmets. A lot of the superhero type characters are also trademarked. So some cosplay is 100% legal and some of it is clearly infringing, and then there's some stuff in between.

Tattoos and piercings are distracting unless they are accurate to the character.

This topic comes up like, weekly.

>>8813197
>lazy
I saw this on reddit and thought the same thing. Sure a stud isn't as distracting as a huge septum piercing but unless it's still healing why wouldn't you take it out? It's as lazy as cosplayers who don't remove their glasses for photos.

>>8813197
I didn't even notice the tiny nose ring until you mentioned it. If something that tiny that blends in with the surrounding paint bothers you so much you should probably rethink your priorities and stop being so unbelievably salty. Seriously, this topic has been beaten to death.

Nanchatte general, fucked it up, I'm sorry.

Your choices are either plastic toys or $300 ones. Also, use the help thread.

Quality ones are expensive, anon. That's if you want a LARP grade quality so you can actually hit people.

I got mine from Saberforge, but only because I drove three hours and showed up at their offices. That's the only way to get one in a decent amount of time after the new movie.

I've seen and got to play a bit with Ultrasaber's. They're lighter (but everything is lighter than mine), but still pretty awesome.

I don't know about any New Zealand specific ones.

seems legit

>>8799519
Good luck with that Anon. Please shower daily, and if you stink/sweat, deodorant please! Avoid eating thing stat make you fart, includes beans, beef, onions, garlic, and granola bars

>>8799544
>granola bars
What? But all I eat at conventions are granola bars.

i had a weird nightmare about katsucon last night. hopefully the actual con isn't as much of a shitshow as it was in my dream!!

anyways i really hope i can finish my saria cosplay in time!! i just need to buy the fabric and remake the romper because the first two (kill me) came out looking and fitting like shit

And how exactly does one find out the measurements of fictional characters? Unless it's a show with a filler "oh let's all go get check ups and have our boobies measured" episode there's no way to tell what size most characters are

>5'7, 28-23-34

Fucking never.

>>8795295
Many animus will have official chara art that lists their exact measurements. It's very common.

Dumb thread.
