Costume Contest 2010 Winners!

Postby Matt » Mon Nov 15, 2010 7:50 pm

We're happy to announce this year's Action Hero Costume contest winners! There were so many amazing costumes this year, it was hard to choose, but the final scores from the judges have been tallied and counted.

HERE ARE THE RESULTS!

1ST PLACE - PRAETORIAN with "PREDATOR"- 9.1
What can I say? This is one of the coolest costumes we've ever seen in the contest. And with working lasers and sound effects! Praetorian really outdid himself with this one, and it definitely would have been fun to participate in the event where he used this costume. Good job, Praetorian.

2ND PLACE - RABBIT with "OLD SNAKE"- 8.8
We've had Snake in the contest before, but never before have we had such an accurate representation, and the photo is cool too! MGS fans here on AP are hard to please when it comes to costumes, but as we can tell lots of you guys really liked this one. Congrats, Rabbit!

Image

3RD PLACE - ANDROID with "TUNNEL RAT"- 8.5
Such a cool idea, and very original. Android had a really amazing rendition of Tunnel Rat, right down to the funky GI Joe style weaponry. Who else would put a rifle scope on an M60 other than GI Joes? Go Joe!

On behalf of Airsoft Pacific, the moderators, the judges, and the sponsors I would like to thank you all for putting together some really amazing costumes this year. As always, I would have liked to see more but the quality of the costumes this year was simply amazing. It's always fun to run this contest and we hope to keep the tradition alive in years to come.

Again, without our sponsors your amazing prizes would not be possible. Please thank each of our sponsors by paying them a visit the next time you are shopping for gear.

Thanks again, see you next year!

Nice! Good job to all who entered. You all did an amazing job putting these costumes together this year. Thank you sponsors!

Edit: My favorite of the three, and they are all awesome, is Tunnel Rat. But I am a GI Joe fan, and I sure wish I had an original Tunnel Rat!

I disagree on the order they won, but congratulations!

(Reason: Predator was good, certainly top 10 or even top 3, but he's wearing woodland pants as Predator. I realize this photo was from playing at an airsoft game, but he could have made a photo with pants or lower half costumed for the contest itself.)

Certainly. Top 3 were rounded numbers, but since some of the top 10 were so close I kept the original decimals in this list.

1. Predator - Praetorian 9.07
2. Old Snake - Rabbit 8.76
3. Tunnel Rat - Android 8.48
4. Equilibrium Guard - Pajk - 8.13
5. MGS4 Sweet Raiden - Precious - 8.06
6. Romeo - Cosmos - 8.03
7. Snake Eyes - Snake_Eyes - 7.87
8. Darth Vader - Mobius - 7.57
9. Imperial Japanese Army - Tsydious - 7.2
10. Scarface - CommieHunter - 6.82

Looks like I finally have a "brit" gun. I'm in a Royal marines based airsoft team so this works out nicely.


Thank you all!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! I'VE BEEN ROBBED!!!
ROBBED!!!!!! :x

Aw, you know I kid! ;) I congratulate Praetorian for one of the coolest costumes I've seen in a while (working shoulder cannon was the clincher) as well as the detail & effort that went into Rabbit's costume. Coming in behind them reminds me to put them on my "poison before next year's contest" list. ;)

Also a great job to Snake Eyes, Precious, Cosmos, Commiehunter, Mobius, and everybody else that entered this contest.

Finally, an extra special thanks to Pulsipher; I can't unsee your photo ever again! :shock:

I still say Precious should do a Scarlet or Baroness costume and take some legit pictures of my already improving Snake Eyes costume.

:D :D :D

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!!
My sword runs at 450 FPS, try to out run that! 35+ Sword/Knife Kills and counting.

I think the biggest key to really pulling off the Snake-Eyes costume is working out....a lot. You gotta get that comic book big to make it look right.
