We always like to post images of the great cosplayers we see at conventions and NYCC gave SDCC a run for its money this year as there was triple the amount of what was there last year. A big thanks to JC from Razor’s Edge Collectibles who was kind enough to shoot just some of the great cosplayers at NYCC the last 3 days. Enjoy almost 200 awesome images below (be sure to check out all 5 pages)

NYCC 14: Hasbro ‘Twas The Night Party Video and Ezra Saber Demo
It was a party, so the lighting, awesome DJ and party lights made it very hard to get a good video (as well as all the camera flashes from other media members) but we still wanted to share the experience of the best party at NYCC, The Hasbro ‘Twas the Night Before Party with our readers. See a quick demo of the REBELS EZRA BRIDGER LIGHTSABER BLASTER from Joe N. at Hasbro. Joe was awesome to talk to all night and will be a welcome addition to the team! Also a quick look at the THE BLACK SERIES 6-Inch and 3.75 inch Action Figures, REBELS Action Figures and more. Please note the video is just for fun, to see the all the great figures and items, see our gallery here.

Bandai Namco Unveiling A New Star Wars Arcade Machine Next Week During NYCC
Posted at Polygon.com:
Next week, New York Comic-Con kicks off, bringing with it a slew of internet famous and famous famous comic-book, video game, television and movie stars to The City.
But the thing that has me most excited is news that Bandai Namco will be unveiling a brand new arcade machine. That’s right, a video game developed to play on a singular coin-operated machine typically found in a public place. I was so surprised by this news that I emailed their public relations team to make sure I hadn’t misunderstood the email. On top of the fact that the publisher is rolling out an arcade machine in a time when arcades are most dead, this particular machine will be a brand new Star Wars title.
I couldn’t wrest any other details out of the publisher about this new Star Wars arcade machine so we’re going to have to be content with wild guesses until the unveiling on Oct. 8. If you want to be there with me when they show it off and give people a chance to play, make sure you check out our contest. (Update: PR reps for Bandai Namco have told us that there was some confusion on their end, and they’ll actually be limiting the unveiling to press only, so the contest appears to be off for the moment. Sorry, gang.)
Right, let the speculation begin.
At the top of my I-know-it-isn’t-happening-but-can-it-be-this-anyway list is a sequel to the classic, fantastic Star Wars pinball machine. Released in 1982 by DataEast and Sega, this is one of my top 10 or so pins.
Second on that list would have to be a remake of the 1983 vector-graphics classic: Star Wars. The Atari-published rail shooter is considered one of the top five most popular arcade games of all time.
OK, so my list is only two games long. There were other Star Wars arcade games, but I wasn’t a fan. Besides, the reality is that this machine will likely be something like a fighter or a casual game, both of which are fine, but also not those two games I just listed.
