Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:

[T]he following photo collection, to be curated and presented here in three parts, was previously shared elsewhere online last year, two weeks before Midlife Crisis Crossover was born. For the sake of bringing my works under a single, unified creative banner, it’s my pleasure to present to you, the Viewers at Home, this memory parade of our second time at C2E2.

Part One featured movie-based costumes. Part Two was all about Marvel and DC Comics — “the Big Two”, as we comics fans know them. Here in the action-packed conclusion, it’s everyone else’s time to shine.

One such couple of lovable misfits: Pee-Wee and Globey!

The name of the Snowths may not be common knowledge, but you may know their one hit, as performed on The Muppet Show.

Dr. Clayton Forrester and an alt-universe Joel Robinson send happy greetings and Hamdingers from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

How Voltron can see or breathe, I have no idea. Extra credit points are owed to anyone who can identify the anime schoolgirl character in the background — assuming she’s a specific character, and not just really lost.

Van Fanel from the anime series The Vision of Escaflowne shows off his extendable wings. I’ve seen a few costumers attempt wings at different cons. Extending and retracting are the toughest effects to nail, but always impressive when they work.

Members of the villainous Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts 2.

Three warriors from the Dragon Age games. If they have names, I’d be curious to know. One of the hardest parts is trying to match names with costumes that fall outside my geek specializations. Assistance from those in the know is always appreciated. Also, unlike the average old person, I like learning new things.

Kitana from Mortal Kombat — one of several MK characters I saw hanging out last year. Note the beach-ready Stormtrooper abiding in the background.

King Bowser, boss about town and proud owner of eight castles. Clearly one of the 1%. BOOOOOOOO.

Link from The Legend of Zelda, two guys from Portal, a hammer-wielder of unknown origin (oh, how I loathe my ignorance), and Marvel’s antihero Deadpool, showing up in the wrong entry on purpose.

We conclude the three-part retrospective with this group shot from the Saturday costume contest, whose participants included Poison Ivy, Deadmau5, Two-Face, a couple of Jokers, the Rocketeer, Buddy Christ from Dogma, Green Arrow, Disney princesses, a Doctor Who Clockwork Man, and more!

C2E2 2013 will be April 26th-28th in Chicago at McCormick Place (West Building). Tickets are still available and guests are still being added. Coverage and souvenirs will be forthcoming on Midlife Crisis Crossover, because it’s kind of an annual highlight for me. Should be fun!
