Well, that's one angle of the costume I'm sure is popular. Prefer to see the whole thing though.

LOL it took more than I should confess to understand what you were talking about.

Shazam!

Not sure if I'll be fielding Yojimbo but now he's on my must have list. Awesome model. Why regular aragotos bikes don't look like that...

The chest piece of that cosplayer's armour look ridiculous. They have certainly overdid that...

I honestly hope it doesn't become too common, but all the motorcycles in the game are my favorite things.

Nice pic. The girl seems rather, um, petite for that armor. Where are the Dutch ladies at?

[She should totally cosplay as Sophia Drake next! ]

I want more news and rumors and pics from Gencon!

Everyone has a smart phone!

I demand more of...everything from Gencon!!!

It's actually toned down from a 1:1 scale-up of the actual model - and substantially.
That said, I fully agree with the sentiment. Let's not go there, however - it never makes the thread any better and apparently a majority does not see either the issue, or the many underlying problems. And anyway, we're both stealing Kan's thunder here

Yeah, that looks more like a GWAR! inspired part of the costume than anything in infinity. Unfortunately, she has to "compete" with the likes of cosplayers like the following who emulate those ridiculous proportions via surgery as well:

I think we're focusing on the wrong thing here. Let's not go down that rabbit hole.

Nobody have any recon on new minis or announcements? Maybe they have some more cosplay minis hidden away for later?

Man, I really wish Ariadna only had 3 sectorials rather than 4. They have very thin lists to choose from for the Caledonians and FRRM. Having USAriadna isn't going to help that much unless they become a group which has no sectorial and is instead able to be taken by the other three, which is unlikely.

Also FRRM needs to get a real hacker, the Nomad one is ugh...

But back to rumours and surgically enhanced boobies

Sort of a trademark for her. Have you seen some of her other cosplays? https://www.facebook.com/TabithaArtyfakes
I do hope she is enjoying the GenCon though. And that everybody is.

Yojimboooo! Awesome!

NeoTerra Bolt Cosplay Edition SOLD OUT at GenCon in the 1st hour of the event! AWESOME! Thanks guys! #GenCon2014

Os felicito. But how many were there? Numbers?

Fortunately, my GenCon Ninja has confirmed that he bought my Icestorm box already, so I hope y'all sell out the rest in a hurry. How may did you guys bring?

Like the way his fingers are gripping the brake. And that smile.

Only one photo so far but I'm already beginning to think this is a masterpiece. The 'two fingers on the brakes' is absolutely beautiful if you are into your bikes, some kind of super-ceramic brakes that don't require the entire hand to provide sufficient force.

And considering that face is probably about 3-4mm in size... wow..

It's not the size, it's how you use it.

I want that bike. It's not for my army, but I want it anyway.

Not normally a fan of dual-wielding but that guy looks awesome.

Me too! A friend of mine has Yu Jing, he is getting Yojimbo

YOJIMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

####ing sweet. I love the motorcycles anyways, but they just really knocked it outta the park with this one. His expression is perfect, like someone who really enjoys his work .

My ninja shopper wasn't able to get the cosplay Bolt for me...



They sold out of a lot of stuff FAST - good sign of Infinity's growing popularity?

I hope so!

Maybe, maybe just a sign of GenCon ninja shoppers becoming overly used.

Er, same thing?

All roads lead to Rome here...

I should have clarified a bit better then:

It might not simply be popularity climbing, but also that people caught wind of "exclusive models".

Yesss!! So awesome!

I see the "zuyong invincibles terracotta soldiers" are up on the official site & the old invincibles remain.

Good news. Looking forward to new plain invincibles whenever the time comes. Perhaps the Zuyong will be less of a CC unit than the older invincibles. Invincibles are well equipped for h2h carrying those big honking CCWs.

I really hope we get more fluff on Yu jing in the coming year. Their current service in the books is a great deal about how their subjects are obedient drones, defiant Japanese, or lobotomized political dissidents... With a slight mention to some organized crime element like triads or something.

Hopefully explaining/introducing the new sectorial will accomplish some of that

That last picture's not bad. Glad to see Carlos having fun.

So does this mean we can look forward to the chibi models of the Bolts?

The cosplay is cool. I always enjoy seeing it. I imagine using thinner materials would have taken a lot longer.

Any shots of Icestorm unboxing? Or is everyone too busy partying?

So.... This ninja shopper didn't get bolts because Carlos legitimately didn't expect them to sell out that quickly.

I talked to him at around 845, curious if I should buy now (I typically don't like to buy until the end of the day cause I have to store it somewhere while working) and he said "they'd have plenty". I think they legitimately underestimated how popular they were going to be.

So I failed.

In other news they're actually running demos with the studio painted models. Seing angels models being used in game Is pretty glorious.

Tabitha is also incredibly sweet. It's her first time in the states, apparently, so, aside from being really hot (temperature wise in the suit) she's really seemed like a kid in a candy store. Been pretty cool.

I'll post some more pics later.

Team Covenant has posted a couple of quick vids showing off the CB exhibit area and models in the glass cases. Not the best overall quality of vid but there is some good stuff nonetheless.

Vid1:



Vid 2:

That guy in the videos, he and I share the same pain. Every grunt and sigh born of awe.

that's what i have been waiting for...
Yojimbo looks awesome!!!

good find...

cheers
