Favourite piece of cosplay gear

[Cocal]

What does cosplay mean?

Someone please explain.

Costume Playing its like LARPING but for anime

(larp = live action role playing)

A pimp hat

I don't think that qualifies as cosplay gear.
Although, it is badass.

I myself, don't cosplay. It's just not my thing.

I'm planning on making cloud's buster sword for a fancy dress party at my friends birthday. So i'll say that even though its not made yet.

I'm making a wooden one if anyones interested. 6 foot including handle. 55" by 10" by 2" for the blade. Still unsure about how i'm going to attach the handle or have a handle strong enough to suppose it though. Its about 8-9kg worth of wood for the blade.

Got a mate making a full suit of Mk 7 Spartan power armour... for the kicks...

And then suits of ODST equip for the nromal-sized members of the bunch.

And then we shall airsoft with impunity.

(Assuming you can afford any of it. =D)

In the third row of pictures, next to Carmine. That is a crazy-eyed ***** right there. Even without the gun/armour I'd be a little cautious of her.

Edit: as for cosplaying, I've been trying for a while to get my hands on Loz's shock guantlet from Advent Children.

I have my Halloween costume of Death in my cupboard and that's about as close as I get to cosplay.

I dressed as the Doctor for my senior prom.

Which Doctor?

It better have been Tom Baker.

I was distraught. No costumes I found came with the scarf.

My choices were 4th Doctor w/o scarf (heresy), 6th Doctor (I'm not gay enough to wear that), or the 10th Doctor (brown suit).

So I went with the 10th.

I wanted my date to wear a wedding dress and have us ride in on Segways, but she vetoed that.

My Maes Hughes outfit. It's still been unused, as I've yet to pop my Con virginity, but it will be used sooner or later.

First off, to all the people saying "I don't cosplay" in a COSPLAY THREAD....duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur.

Second, I got a lot of use out of store-bought fairy outfit, and my wigs get used quite a bit. But my favorite cosplay item would be my handmade Gizmonic Institute hat, from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Why is it my favorite? Because it's signed by the cast. ^^ Needless to say it doesn't get worn anymore, but proudly displayed in my nerdy room.

Oh god why the fuck would anyone cosplay seriously.

It's the sense of accomplishment, a demonstration of skill. Besides, sewing can be fun.

I am white. We are not allowed to cosplay. White people suck at cosplay soo damn much that I could cosplay myself and it would look shitty. I would look 30lbs heavier and like my clothing is made out of cardboard and tin foil.

Hah. Hahahah.
Someone's been looking at bad cosplay. It's not all that bad, honey~<3

Spoiler: These two images may interest you.

A friend of mine has made that. Still working on it, obviously.

I've been to my fair share of Cons, but I don't cosplay. That said, I saw some guy come in as Ryuk from Death Note. Complete with wings. That said, it was really freaking badass. Too bad the cast was not represented. I did see this really cute girl as Misa, though.

EDIT: Finally Gonzo!

Cool, i like the idea. I'm still trying to work out which construction method would be the best. Making it out of 1 completely solid piece of wood, making a frame, and now doing what your friends doing there.

A full size Hylian shield.

Wish I had a chance to cosplay but the UK has no conventions for it.

I don't "cosplay" so to speak, but I am part of a Steampunk Costuming Group here in the city. My favorite piece of my costume would be my modified goggles. Bought them for $10 at a raver shop in Amsterdamme and modified them when I got home from my vacation.

I dress in Steampunk as well. The puffy cotton shirts and leather aviator headgear are my favourite.
Oh, and a female friends has the most amazing leather boots, with copper buckles on the straps.

For me it's all about vests and coats... since I don't own any puffy shirts. But then again I essentially dress up as a Steampunk version of Han Solo so... finery is not so "In character".

Sex-Machine's revolver codpiece in "From Dusk 'Til Dawn." End of discussion.

My John Crichton duster coat from Farscape. I had it specially made for me, and is about as accurate as you're likely to get ... just don't ask how much I paid for it
