Cosplay At RetroCon Gets Nostalgic, Here Are Our Favourites!

California may currently be hosting the beloved Long Beach Comic-Con, but there’s a smaller convention happening in the Philadelphia area this weekend that I have the pleasure of attending. RetroCon is a blend of all the nostalgic bliss of a convention mixed in with a flea market attitude.

While walking around the convention floor today I talked horror with someone selling some amazing vintage horror titles, talked Lucha Underground with a man who was rocking an Aerostar mask, made slime with the Philadelphia Ghostbusters and checked out some amazing grassroots cosplay.

RetroCon does Cosplay beautifully. While roaming the floor taking pictures there were so many people that put my brain in “holy-shit nostalgia overload” these are just a few of my favorites.

I also wanted to give a quick shout out to people who exhibited their home-made creations. Check out this homemade Bill & Ted Telephone booth and this functional SteamPunk R2 unit.
