Bespin Leia kicked ass.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

This one is really good, especially for 1980.

I wonder if it was a promotional suit from the studio or something ?

 

[Jedifyfe]

/\ I thought the same thing. The helmet looks really nice!

 

[Wes R]

Given the time period some of those really aren't that bad. Can you dell that Dungeons & Dragons was still popular? lol That Ripley suit looks like it walked off the movie set.

Isn't this the ep1 TPM Yoda?

 

[Apollo]

Thanks for the blast from the past!!!

Those were the days back before Cons got to commercialized and began to be big business.

So much creativity and Fan passion.

Gotta love those late 70's early 80's hotel carpets and walls! :lol

Man, I soooo miss real nerds.

I guess nobody wanted to dress as a super hero back then

I do not believe those are either Comic-Con or 1980.

I know several of the folks in those pics and recognize some of the costumes.

Has to be '82 to '84 and looks like a Western-Con in Los Angeles.

Several of those costumes are from the Nine Princes of Amber group we did.

No sir, that young lady made all that herself.

It was very impressive up close too.

This one looks like Sigourney Weaver

Is the left one suppost to be a time lord?

...looks similar to the Lord President Borusa Head-dress that Weta is selling

I love how the far right guy looks like he just stepped down from the set of Krull

That Ripley outfit is incredible.

One of those pics is the infamous Kathy Pillsbury.

 

[Dave Ward]

For a moment, I thought that Timelord headdress was full size. Shame it isn't. Someone should really do a run of those.

 

[micdavis]

I could be mistaken but I think the guy on the left in this pic is Richard Coyle.

This woman is Kathy Sanders. She made costumes for Disneyland for a while. You can still see some of her work on some of the figures on It's a Small World ride.

That is definitely the Airport Marriott. And Western Con.
