This is the hardest one to vote on because they're all so bloody cute!

Gonna go for Bespin Luke though... Love it!

 

[Eveningarwen]

That Luke is ADORABLE!! I loooove his face and the hand on the ground. I can't wait to have kids and do an awesome costume like all of these kids are wearing!! Good job kids and parents alike!!

 

[Jannix Quinn]

Even though you can see the results after you vote, please don't say things like "It looks like so-and-so is going to win!" because it may alter the choices of those who haven't voted yet.

Better yet, maybe the results could be hidden until the voting is done?

 

[CCP]

Arg.....this one was hard....i'd narrowed it down to three...Kim Jong Il, Skywalker....and Ralph from GAH....then i saw that It wasn't any Luke costume...it was freshly severed hand Luke....(Sounds like the name of a barbie....Oooh, it's Freshly severed hand Ken! Complete with bloody stump that's still wet!) Hands down, best costume ever! Gotta love a kid who's willing to go the extra mile!

 

[Baron]

Is anyone concerned that non-members can vote in the polls, thus potentially skewing the results?

 

[mothmonty]

Luke is priceless, good work on all the costumes

 

[Bizarro Lois]

These are all very well-done. It was a hard decision to make. Did the kids make any of the costumes?

 

[JoeR]

@ Lois that is a really good point. They are all so cute, it feels harsh to vote for one over another. I say give them all a prize for being so awesome!

 

[womo68]

That shockwave is killer!!!! :thumbsup

 

[Hogosha]

You know what? I think they are all great!

 

[Organic Mechanic]

Arrrggghhh! The cuteness factor complicates the voting process!

 

[Redboykliq69]

# 4 has my vote....

 

[themanwoaname]

shockwave = #1 for me. luke was a hard choice.

 

[ReelHero]

Is anyone concerned that non-members can vote in the polls, thus potentially skewing the results?

I agree, Baron. I was surprised that I didn't have to log in to vote. Too late now, but my opinion is that voting should be limited to registered members, who might vote with an attention to detail or authenticity in mind. Otherwise, it might be too easy to call up friends and relatives and ask for votes (not that anyone would).

Also, maybe the ability to vote a top three might be a good idea, kind of like ranking in the BCS voting. There are lots of good costumes, and it is hard to pick just one to vote for while thinking there was another that was next on your list that might not get votes.

Just a couple suggestions.

Lots of great kid costumes, though, and it looks like a lot of fun was had. Nice job, entrants.

 

[Kithunter]

the future is secure with these entries...

great job on the costumes......

 

[Doh2]

Of the 3 contests, this was definitely the hardest to vote in.

Great job, kids!

 

[MooCriket]

In all honesty...I think these are the BEST costumes in any of the categories. Fantastic all around, and just as everyone else has said...so very difficult to pick one.

 

[Darius Alucard]

You parents ROCK!

I've voted in all the catagories, but didn't comment on the other two threads.

This one deserves the "Best Contest Award" IMO.

 

[themanwoaname]

i wish there was a best photo, because luke kills it.

i voted shockwave because the costume LOOKS like a decepticon. i cant even tell thats a kid in that thing!
