I guess I did unleash more than I expected when I asked what you wanted to do. Those are some awesome and fun choices. I think Armstrong will be pretty funny.

I hope to be doing A LOT more cosplay in the near future when money isn't so tight... '''>.> *cough*
You have quite the list. You and Lauren are quite ambitious. I think there are some great ideas in there. Good luck to us all finding the money and the time to cosplay all of these characters.
Shinx and Formal Noface are on my completed list as of Metrocon in july :D lots of problems with the Noface mask and I didn't have everything I needed for Shinx(just got the package today), but they were still uber fun to wear! and people actually knew who I was! :D
Next up is Ho-oh, Icudo, Drocell! (and possibly Zora Link ;3 )
I've never cosplayed before, but i want to
my first option is definatly "L" or "Ryuzaki" for that matter
then if i go to a video game anime convention ( i dunno if they even have those) i would be Axel, from the Kingdom Hearts series. and my last option would be Zero, from code geass
Haha, beware of the glomping! Especially depending on your character. Ed will always get glomped. I crosplayed Duo Maxwell and didn't get glomped though. But perhaps I was going into older anime than many of the attendees know.
If I am not mistaken, there is a nurse type character from Silent Hill. I love seeing that cosplayed, because it often comes out pretty awesome. With the right movements it is kind of creepy.
Do Zero some justice Marcos! I would love to see pictures of that, or if anyone wants to post their cosplay pictures please share. XD
