Haaaaa, that really makes me want to see people dressed as superheroes posing with common weapons. Maybe Superman with a switchblade or Hulk trying to mace someone.

There are no fewer than forty replicas of each throughout the country.

Tulsa, Oklahoma has four Jeeps.


It's amusing to see dozens of people from all over the country all go "THAT GUY LIVES BY ME" whenever one is posted :)

One of our members is a big Knight Rider guy, but he's also a pretty great dad.

He's not done with it yet, but it's still the most fantastic thing I've ever seen.



Dude hangs out with the LA movie car club and just rides in circles around the cars during the parades... :3:

And this fellow came all the way from Durango.

There's a lot of classic Beetles painted as Herbie. I nearly got run over by one last year, and told the driver to tell her goddamn car to look where it was going.

You're not kidding. This is from a single regional meetup in 2011.



There are no fewer that 4 New New Beetles in the Denver area done up as Herbies by a dealership who then pawned them off as authentic replicas. They aren't terrible, but they are rather 'boilerplate.' This one belongs to someone who has been coming to meets who hadn't really seen the movies before they bought the car.



However, the Herbie I posted earlier is the first "real" Herbie that I've ever seen in person, so I was incredibly excited. The owner is an incredible sweetheart and I am sad that he lives 7 hours away.

Was it actually a 63? Having been basically raised going to and judging air cooled VW shows it always annoyed me to no end when people would do stupid Herbie poo poo to cars that were not 63 ragtops.

I thought of painting my 58 flat black and putting 35 on the side and calling it Herbles, Herbie's older evil brother.

It was, supposedly the entire engine was original save for a distributor cap, plugs, and I guess it was converted to 12v before he got it. Also, you should look up Horace the Hate Bug ;)

He still has all the parts, he just sold the car. We'll have one again, one day.

Paging Boomerjinks! Original vehicles from Breaking Bad are up for auction. Skyler's Jeep, Jesse's Toyota, an exterminator's truck, and even Walt's puke green Pontiac Aztek.

There are many items of screen used clothing as well, perfect for foiling sperglords at conventions. "That's not totally accurate!" "Trap sprung, it's the real deal."

Auction catalogs are also excellent reference for costumes.

http://screenbid.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/6/?page=1

I offered them $50.

OK, that Doc Ock at about 2:26 is loving great.

Wanted to post this. I worked at an elementary school doing IT and library stuff around the time Spider-man 2 came out, and I wanted to build a Doc Ock for the 300 kids who would unquestionably be spidey that year. The foam segments are brilliant, I think Adam Savage made one this way for Patton Oscorp Oswalt.

His colander is a little too small and doesn't have enough weird poo poo stuck on it. This one works a lot better:


That's ProtoKev, I think. He lived near St. Louis not long ago and was kind enough to let me and my friends crash on his couch while taking the car to New York. Dude has a MASSIVE amazing prop collection.

Though the question is did she defile that gorgeous instrument by adding a rip cord to the back.

She did not. It's the real-deal, and she actually plays bass so she is getting real use out of it. One of those situations where if you do it right, musical people will hate you and if you do it wrong, cosplay power nerds will hate you. I think she made the right choice. Find a chinese replica, however: DRILL BABY DRILL!

A friend of my wife recently had a discussion on their facebook page about cosplaying and tattoos. They are a pretty balanced crew and the comments were wildly positive, but I think we all know the real answer is that everything you do must be solely for the enjoyment of others, and anything that ruins their immersion is terrible. :reject:

Things have changed a bit since then.

It would be really neat to see a cosplay version of Celebrities posing with younger versions of themselves.

I'd love to see that timid Selphie with badass cigar-chomping space marine's hand around her shoulder!
