Congratulations to all 3 winners!

Tough decisions I can understand. Though personally I might have swapped two of those places if it were left to me

Honestly Im gonna give my most honest opinion here, unlike the sheep that just say "GRATS UR TEH BEST" and actually have nothing informative to say.
I think I speak for many that will remain quiet about the situation when I see that the winner of the costume contest didnt really deserved best hero overall. When you look at the detail and colors Komic Kitten selected and or found, you can see who the real winner is. And no before I get any tail bitters, I dont know Kitten never played with her nor have i met or ever will meet. All that aside in MY honest opinion she had more detail and honestly a better look. The contest winner chose black and pink... the most simplest color combination for women since Clueless the movie. I have spoken to quite a few people and while they do agree she deserves to be part of the list, she doesnt deserve best overall. Its good to see the Devs are as clueless as people who pick Cow Costumes as winners in the game. If you dont like my post fine your entitled to your own opinion, just dont bother posting back at me as I will ignore you. For those who have a solid reason/opinion to why you think Cutest little hero should have one by all means do post. also for those who think anyone else deserved it, please post up.
Again I dont care what you think of me or my opinion, just post your own.

Well, here's the problem. This was supposed to be a fun event, and we were all supposed to be celebrating the ones who won. And frankly, your opinion didn't amount to diddly in selecting the winners, the judges' opinions were the ones that counted. Personally, I think they got it right, but you know, that's my opinion. I don't know what you expect from your post. Nothing constructive can come from it, only grief. Honestly, I hope they delete it, as it completely undercuts the spirit of the contest and the extraordinary time and effort that both of these ladies have put into making it fun.

And if you don't want people to respond to your opinion unless they're "I agree 100%" sycophants, you shouldn't have posted it to begin with. It doesn't work that way, and that whole Freedom of Speech thing cuts both ways.

Still, to answer your non-question about why CutestLilHero deserved to win, her costume is dead on. Check out the wings. Even the colored panels match up. I don't know if she made the stuffed panda bear herself, but it definitely added a nice finishing touch. Her hair looks fantastic, and check out the makeup. In short, I think it's perfect, and she more than deserves to win. It also doesn't hurt that she also lives up to her name. I didn't know it before, but I'm definitely a CutestLilHero fan now.

Having said that, I don't want to take away from Komic Kitten. Her outfit is perfect, too, and her attention to detail doesn't deserve to win any less. Had they picked her to win, I would have fully agreed with that decision, too. I wish they both could have been Best Overall winners, but unfortunately, that's not the way it works. They had to pick one, and only one, so they did.

Oh, and I have to echo my hearty congratulations to the winners. You did an absolutely fantastic job this year, all of you! I wish I had that much talent in designing costumes!

And finally, just a quick FYI, if you like these costumes, be sure to also check out the winners of the 2006 contest, the 2005 contest, and of course, the original contest in 2004. GREAT stuff!

Am I the only one that still can't see the pics? I keep getting the undefined message. Yes, from SuperSilver's link as well.

Same here. Both links are displaying nada. zilch. nothing.

Personally I was rooting for Joe Insanity and some of the costumes like Demichi's and Kiera-Oona's amazed me with the amount of work that must have gone into them, but I have to say that I was very impressed by all the contestants and any one of them could have been named winner without complaint from me.
