Here are our finished EDI and Joker costumes! c: The convention was great fun; I got to see some friends and meet new people, and lots of nice folks asked for pictures. All in all, a great day!

I may make some edits to these before we wear them again (namely to the boot covers—making some for Joker, and adding some details and Velcro to EDI’s to keep them from falling down). Do let me know what you think, and thanks for looking! :D <3

OHHHH my goodness, look at you!  <3  You win at everything.  Those are some amazing costumes, and so accurate!  Looking at the back of your EDI cosplay, I feel like I’m on the weapon loadout screen right now.  :P
