Fallout-mania is sweeping the nation, and Vault Boy and Yes Man are here for it!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
My wife Anne and I just got home from the latest edition of the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Exposition (“C2E2″), a three-day extravaganza of comic books, actors, creators, toys, props, publishers, freebies, Funko Pops, anime we don’t recognize, and walking and walking and walking and walking. We were undecided for months because this year it was scheduled the same weekend as one of our hometown shows, Indy Pop Con. Ultimately Chicago lured us back…
…and we took more cosplay pics! Please enjoy one more gallery of cosplayers who brightened our second day around the show floor. We regret we can only represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the total cosplay wonderment that was on display this weekend. We’re clearly not professional photographers, journalists, costume designers, or Oscars red carpet commentators. We’re just an aging geek couple doing what we can for happy sharing fun. Please feel free to identify any characters we failed at recognizing!
From that pervasive Star Wars galaxy: Baylan Skoll, Endor Princess Leia, Endor Han Solo, Anytime Anywhere Chewbacca, and TV’s Ahsoka Tano.
Apropos of the con’s guest list, Hera and Kanan from Star Wars Rebels.
Bo-Katan and Grand Admiral Thrawn with his pet Ysalamir.
A ‘Trooper and a Mandalorian.
Late afternoon saw a Star Wars parade march unstoppably through the hall.
An extremely specific variant rarely attempted, if ever: Captain Kirk from the beginning of Star Trek V.
Messmer the Impaler from Elden Ring. [UPDATED 5/2/2024, 8:45 p.m.: Special thanks to head commenter Reuven for the I.D.]
DC villains united: the Shade and Poison Ivy.
Flash Thompson a.k.a. Agent Venom, my favorite version of the character.
Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. Dad was on hand to chat about the costume design.
Can’t catch ’em all without a Pokeball!
The Addams Family, not the same troupe we met Friday: Grandmama, Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Debbie from Addams Family Values, Uncle Fester…
…and Lurch, who was busy menacing an artist while Anne took the previous shot.
Chicago hometown legend Svengoolie! (Sadly, we blew our chances to see the real deal this weekend.)
Giant inflatable Snoopy!
Giant inflatable Garfield, coming soon to theaters with the voice and appetite of Andy Dwyer.
Pinocchio all grown up.
Men of mustaches and mushrooms: Wario, Waluigi, Luigi and Mario.
TVA on patrol! Ravonna, Hunter X-5, Miss Minutes and Ouroboros from Loki season 2.
To be continued! Other chapters in this very special miniseries:
Part 1: Friday Cosplay!
Part 3: Actors!
Part 4: Artists Alley!
Part 5: And the Rest!
Midlife Crisis Crossover! 
Yet another great entry of MCC! Thank you for sharing it w/the world!
I have it on good authority that the putative Red Sonja variant is in fact Messmer from the Elden Ring video game.
