Temporary tattoos and gum were apparently all the rage back in the day.
Indiana Jones are a dime a dozen, but you don't see his ladies too often.
A Superman toy from way back in 1939! That's pretty much as old as it gets.
No thanks, I think I'll stand right where I am.
The odd couple.
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne...
The details in this Bruce Lee figure were pretty astounding. It'd be hard to get much more realistic than that.
I really loved the base of this Predator statue.
Ah Cobra's trouble bubbles... such a ridiculous, non-threatening looking aircraft.
Cloverfield really hates architecture.
Some more excellent G.I. Joe costumes, especially Destro. Wait, is that girl supposed to be the Baroness?
Somebody bedazzled the hell out of this My Little Pony.
Another life-sized Iron Man statue.
We named the dog Indiana!
Storm Shadow doesn't look too happy in that box.
Shhh... the children are sleeping.
Whoever owned that machete is probably NOT very happy at this point.
Good luck being the realtor for that place.
This humongous Nightmare Before Christmas will only set you back $24,570.00.
There are still many more

Awesome pics RoG, really nice work. Glad to see some of the costumes I missed (though I could've done without that one Wonder Woman's ass. She was hovering by the Slave Labor Graphics booth when I was stuck in line, and it wasn't pretty to look). And massive kudos for finding the two really awesome Jokers amidst a sea of them (I think that Nurse one was also the one carrying the pencil around, extra points there). But where's the shot of the giant GIR costume?
compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DrMrsTheMonarch.jpg
too much manboob and too many oddly unnattractive freaks though.
Not like they are ugly people,because I'm sure they'd look fine in their regular clothing,
but the sort of people who shouldnt dress up as something they cant pull off.
and a few of those pictures might earn you a spot on a predator list. =P
SO yeah, agenda is currently: Get a dog, buy a pump, go to Comic-Con '09.
Hey, I think Nick has a nifty idea for you. Ever thought about creating a Pickleman costume for yourself and maul people with a giant pickle at the con?
You have a very difficult life going to these things as a business expense don't you.
I wish I could've gone. Alas, it's a pipe dream.
Look interesting though. Just a little too crowded for my taste.
And as for the other mystery, (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/comic-con08/276.jpg) The one with horns looks like a Yuna Berserker from Final Fantasy X-2, but I've got no idea on the maid.
PS - Rog, you still suck for being able to go and I didn't, but awsome pics, man! Loved looking at them all!
Also, RoG, the chick with the green hair in that one G.I.JOE pic is Zartan's daughter. She's in the comics only. So don't worry, it wasn't a really bad Baroness or anything.
My favorite pic this year is definitely the Stormtrooper and the little kid Spider-Man. That fucking rules.
I really hope I can make it out there for next year's con.

And thanks for clearing up about Zartan's daughter. I was afraid, myself, that it was a poor Baroness cosplay, and then it was "Wait, Zartan had a daughter?!"
Second on the favorite photo and second on the "hope to be there next year" but unfortunately, I shall have to likely have to continue living vicariously through Rog's photo galleries.
Also, I had a friend tell me about the Yu Gi Oh thing a while ago. I stopped playing a while ago because it just got so stupid. Now, in the show, they play on those duel-runner motorcycle things. THEY PLAY CARDS WHILE RACING ON MOTORCYCLES.
As always the designer toy photos were awesome, I ought to get me some of those.
Secondly, you should have brought a bunch of bananas for Kevin Spacey so he can recreate that scene from K-PAX.
