Last year at PMX I saw some great costumes and the one I remember clearly was from the UCLA Naruto bunch. The guy came in with an actual replica of that long sword, I ended up coming up to him to watch his prop while he could go out into the booths.

So if any cosplayers have props they want to use while walking around the convention-- but would cause trouble in the dealers' room, just find me or any other EH staffer and we can hold it for you so that your prop doesn't get accidently damaged or accidently damages someone or something else.

Due to weapons laws changes in California this year (they are MUCH stricter...!) we are no longer allowing replicas as real as that one was last year. The new weapon's policy will be posted soon!
