Does everyone cosplay at Comic Con?
Can you go to Comic-Con without a costume? Absolutely, in fact the majority of attendees don’t do cosplay for the event. If not, rest assured you’ll be far from the only person there who isn’t decked out in costume. You don’t need to wear a costume to Comic-Con in order to enjoy seeing everybody else’s costume.
Can anyone be a cosplayer?
Keep in mind that you don’t have to cosplay as your race, body type, or gender; anyone can cosplay. On a similar note, your cosplay does not have to be from anime or anything of Japanese origin. You can cosplay a character from a movie, television show, or even a western animation (e.g., Disney).
Is Cosplaying only for anime?
The answer is absolutely No! Although Anime cosplays are very popular and make for some great character choices, there are plenty of other options outside of Anime you can cosplay. Non-Anime characters you can cosplay include: video games, comic books, Western cartoons, TV shows, movies and much more.
Do you have to be attractive to cosplay?
The best cosplay is really more about the craftsmanship of your costume, not how pretty you are yourself. You also have free reign to choose your character – you needn’t even show your face if you prefer not to, it’s just a case of picking something that you can re-create effectively and that suits you personally.
How old do you have to be to go to Comic-Con alone?
All attendees ages 6 or older need a Badge in order to enter NYCC. Please note, NYCC recommends that all individuals under the age of 18 attend with a parent or legal guardian. All individuals under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times at NYCC.
Can I bring a wooden sword to Comic Con?
Metal barbed wire, swords, knives, throwing stars and claws are not permitted at Comic-Con. Baseball bats — wooden or metal — are prohibited, too. The seasoned Comic-Con attendees come to the pop culture convention with their prop handguns, swords and other weapons already zip-tied to their cos-play costumes.
