Once again Lord Ryus has come through for me! Great stuff, thank you.
I wonder if security at that Con had any idea that Riful of the west was there.
I was at AX 2012 and did not see a single claymore related cosplay
FYI: The peacebonding and weapons check people were really sticky about exposed metal and the weight of any prop weapons. They made me remove a length of allthread that I had used in a prop for my daughter's cosplay, because it was exposed metal and they weighed the mini gun I had made for my cosplay of the "Heavy" from TF2, it barely squeaked past the inspection. My point in all this? Those beautiful, solid aluminum claymore swords we've seen in earlier postings would not be allowed at Anime Expo because of, A: Exposed metal and B: Overweight!
