Thanks to our friend skinny for stopping by to let us know that the Combat Ready Cosplay video from JoeCon2015 is now available for your viewing pleasure! Check it out below then join us after the break for discussion already in progress! From skinny –
It is like peanut butter and chocolate when these things happen. I lost contact with the singer of this parody after we decided to do a music video. No contact. No performance video. Kinda like what happened with Dreadnok life.
Well you can’t have a cosplay video without a soundtrack, now can you? You could… but it is not half as fun.
So here is the debut of “Play with Me”, the official music video. Big thanks to all the GIJOE cosplayers who let us film and photograph them at Joecon.

Stuff like this is why I would never cosplay at a con. You dress up to have fun at the show, but you can't even get your picture taken with the other cosplayers without some random creeper putting pictures of it on youtube to promote their terrible music.
Not asking permission isn't the same as getting consent.
C.I.A.D. says
So, you have confirmed that none of the folks that allowed themselves to be filmed for this video... wanted to be in this video?
Stalker says
I'm impressed with the costumes! I watched it on mute, though, so I can't weigh in on the music.
Great cosplay!
USAgent says
As someone who does wear a costume to cons I would wager that there are way more cos-players that want to have their picture taken and shared than not... (you can always say "no" when someone asks to take your picture)
These guys look great and i appreciate that i got to see them all

Everyone we filmed was fully aware that we were filming and or taking photographs of them. This was a fully organized photoshoot set up by The Finest.
This was a combined effort. We had two people taking pictures and one filming.
The music was selected because instead of risking getting muted or taken off youtube, it is much simpler to avoid copyright issues and use your own music.
Most of all it was for fun.
