Since that post I've been looking around and can't find any stills of the movie with the far right logo in it, but it does seem widespread among fan-made vests. I wonder what that's all about. As for the color, it looks like the one guy who's off from the rest just got it wrong.

Apparently The Last Of Us is about humans infected with a sort of cordyceps fungus. I'm actually going to spoiler tag these because they're kind of gruesome. And awesome.    The gallery these are from is here.

Here's some other pics of awesome costumes from that same day:   There was also a pair of tiny Anakins (first and third movie, scar and everything  ) but I couldn't get a picture.

Vanderdeath posted:Poison was straight-up transgender in the original Final Fight from the get-go. I've always found the topic funny because a couple of my friends seem to hate admitting they find a transgendered character appealing to look at. I hope your response to them is "It's a palette swap of another female character, and it's made of a bunch of pixels anyway, so it literally couldn't possibly matter less whether it's supposed to have a dick or not."

Nah dude. The visor was cool and all but the ORANGE AND BLUE CAMO was the poo poo. The shield though, THAT was the reason to buy it. That is an amazing shield. The toy didn't even have a sword or anything, but god dammit you just KNEW he would bash the gently caress out of any Joe that somehow spotted him in his neon ORANGE AND BLUE camo.

The guy was so loving cocky he didnt even CARE what Camo meant OR what it was supposed to do. Why loving blend in when you can BLEND OUT? I swear he had a weapon like a baton inside his shield though.. but he'd be like.. HEY gently caress YOU and just begin hitting you with his shield and urinating on your grandma.

Jedit posted:It's the (incorrect) logo used in the computer game. Something I just learned is that the snake-and-flames logo had to be created because immediately after The Warriors, the movie, was released, The Hell's Angels prohibited further use of any logo featuring a skull and wings. So that one guy using the video game version of the Warriors' gang logo would probably be the one least likely to get his rear end kicked by a pissed-off biker gang.

How exactly does that work? I mean they are a criminal organization according the U.S. Department of Justice, seems kind of odd that they can just claim any and all use of a skull and wings logo. I mean granted the original Warriors logo was literally just a front-facing view of the Hell's Angel logo, so I could see them maybe trademarking that, but saying nobody can make any other logo out of a skull and wings seems kind of...off.

It's very weird. Officially, Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation is a registered corporation with registered trademarks and legitimate business interests. The DoJ contends that they're a criminal organization, but the company's stance is that any crimes are the acts of the individuals involved (and, in extreme cases, possibly the franchise chapter).

Cosplay is a field day of this kind of "infringement", and there's really no legal recourse for it unless they're profiting from it. I can paint a Batman logo on my car all day, if I wanted to, that doesn't mean DC gets to sue me. The same thing applies here. Rhyno posted:I wasn't implying that he was.

Right, I wasn't sure if there was part of the conversation I was missing or what. I don't see any legal action being viable based on what I (we?) know right now. If he starts profiting from it, then you'd be right.

I think you guys have forgotten that GW actually tried to say they owned the rights to the term Space Marine. Those guys are loving insane when it comes to copyright enforcement. I can easily see them making this guy's life a living hell if they thought they'd get 20 bucks off it somehow.

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that I'm the orange Alley Viper. There are 2 in our costume group, one in Cali and then me on the East Coast. We are 99% identical. He has a different gun and balaclava. Anyways, I was working on a 40K costume, but it's such a pain. I can't buy a bolter from anyone in the 40K cosplay community because if GW's lawyers got wind someone sold a bolter they would build a time machine just to be able to sue at the exact second they felt profitable copyright infringement had occurred. Ditto for any component. So, you have to build everything yourself or find someone willing to do it for free. The Alley Viper I built myself (a lot of scouring surplus stores and websites, and modifications) aside from the shield and helmet, which were made by a friend of mine who owns Pit Viper Studios. So, not being good at casting helmets, I contracted a professional. PVS got around Hasbro's copyrights by renaming everything. Serpent Leader helmet, Snake Infantry, Urban Marine (that was the AV helmet name). Hasbro employees have actually told him in person at a con they love his creative ways around the lawyers. GW's lawyers are not so easily dodged. Anyways, here's some content. My friend Mike at WW Philly this year. I was hoping to run across him while I was suited up as Alley Viper because I wanted some shootout pics, but I didn't see him until right after I changed back into shopping clothes.
