Florida_Phil Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 FX is a fairly small con that is held in Orlando, Florida. 2008 was last weekend (Jan 24th - 27th). Had a really good time despite the small size. Some photos: If I'm going to be mistaken for one, might as well pose with one! The 501st booth was fairly freaking amazing for such a small con: -credit to Fred for the pic. Fan built: 501st: The high point of the day for me was when the Virgin Mega Store wanted some 'stormtroopers' to come over and hang out by their Rockband display. Hang out? You mean we can't play? Oh yeah! (Credit to Florida Garrison member Shelia for the photos.) The song, in case you were wondering, was Sabotage. Playing in gloves and a fogged up bucket.. is HARD no matter the song setting. I guess this is my answer to THIS poster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida_Phil Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 The gammorian looks like Richard from Bloodfin. The costume is amazing. That's who it was. I didn't actually get to talk to him at FX, since he was in costume the whole time, and so was I when I was near him. He was down for MegaCon too last month, and I actually got a chance to talk to him a little since we created some small breaks where we could all get air, and cool off a bit. It is a really amazing costume, and quite the crowd pleaser. Tatooine, home of the more interesting SW costumes since 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Wasn't that Gammorean at C4? If it's the same guy, the costume was truly impressive! That's one you just don't see every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper1 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hey the Gammorean Guard was just at the Steele City Toy Con in Pittsburg, this weekend and I got to meet him back in the rest area. He is from Bloodfin and is out of Indiana, and travels to all of these Cons you guys have mentioned. He said his costume came from Europe and it was one of five made. He thought this was the only one of this kind in the states. His wife plays the emporer, and does a good job at it also. He showed some pics of some other costumes hes got and they are just as impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
