Comic-Con 2026 TOUCAN TIP OF THE DAY

TOUCAN TIP #4: Gear Up! Your Comic-Con 2026 Cosplay Guide Starts Now

Bringing a cosplay to life at Comic-Con 2026? Check out our updated costume and prop guidelines to make sure everything is set for a smooth and fun experience.

COSTUME PROPs POLICY

All costume props must be inspected daily at one of the Costume Props Desks. The Costume Props Policy is subject to change at any time and final approval on costume props will be at the sole discretion of our Prop Safety Officers.

There are three Costume Props Desks:

1. Outside Lobby E glass doors

2. The lobby of Hall D, near the outside door*

3. Outside Lobby C2 glass doors

BONUS: Prop Safety Officers will also be walking entry lines each morning.
*Extended hours provided for Evening Programming.

After your costume prop(s) have been checked, they will be tagged by security to designate that your costume prop(s) have been checked and approved. This small tag must remain visible on your costume prop(s) while you are at the event. Security will escort you to the Costume Props Desk for inspection if your costume prop(s) is not tagged.

仿真道具或服装道具可作为服装的一部分，但须事先获得安保人员的批准，并遵守以下规定：

All cosplay must abide by Comic-Con’s Code of Conduct.
动漫展上禁止使用功能性或锋利的道具或武器。
所有服装道具必须符合州和联邦法律。
仿制的射弹服装道具必须无法使用，并用鲜艳的帽子遮盖。
功能性（真箭）箭必须去掉箭尖，并捆绑在箭筒上，拉上拉链。
某些道具可能需要绑在您的服装上，使其无法抽出。我们的道具安全官将做出这些决定。
使用高跷的服装必须经服装道具服务台批准。
不允许对急救人员和/或安保人员进行逼真的角色扮演。
At certain times, due to crowds and safety issues, oversized costumes may be asked to leave the Exhibit Hall and/or Program rooms.
Props that are not approved by our Prop Safety Officers may not be stored in Coat Check. Unapproved props must be returned to your vehicle, hotel room, or another off-site location.

如果您不想让人检查或标记您的服装道具，或者您不愿意遵守这些政策，请不要携带服装道具参加动漫展。

服装道具政策可随时更改。

请务必在临近活动时继续查看本网站，以确保您的服装道具符合现行的 "服装道具政策"。
