imageThis morning, Bleeding Cool reported on how New York Comic Con had amended their weapons policy to ban any such cosplay prop that wasn't made of either cardboard or foam.

Well, it appears that lobbyists for the light sabre industry, toy guns, and manufacturers of plastic and metal shields have been hard at work. And the show has issued new guidelines, which we run here;

At the discretion of Security onsite, the following may be allowed:
– Plastic and Metal Shields
– Lightweight Plastic/PVC Props/Light Sabers
– Toy guns as long as they do not look like real ones, cannot function or shoot projectiles and have an orange tip on the barrel
If any of the above items are deemed unsafe by NYCC Security, they will not be allowed inside the building. They will only be allowed as long as they are deemed safe and will not cause harm onsite.
