Too awesome for words. Now all he needs is the plastic flash that gets left behind after molding these soildiers. Original text from GNdynames below.Not much else to say, this guy is made of epic win. source: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/11/italian-winplay-%E2%80%93-lucca-comics-games-2008/
2nd for it's awesomness...purely FTW ^_^
Indeed! But that's gotta kill his knees after awhile!
Epic win!
That is so awesome in SO many ways.
It's just amazing haha..^_^
Ha! That's great. I wonder how he walks. o.o
I don't think the base is fixed on his feet, since there's another shot of him standing.
O_O hahaha soooo cool
Love this one I used to play toys like this ^_^
Looks like his right foot is the stand, that's really cool lol
He need to put a bend in the gun barrel and an untimmed mold mark on the helmet to be truly authentic, though. (^▽^)
I was actually thinking of him lying on his side, still maintaining that pose, while another guy cosplaying as a giant magnifying glass stands beside him lol. That'd be great XD
LOL! I wanna see that too~~
hahah mould markings would indeed be the icing on the cake
10/10 for originality!
LOL very original!! cosplaying Toy Story I guess?
Or Army Men perhaps.
I thought of Toy Story the moment I saw it as well.
I was wondering if the flattened water bottle next to him was a prop... lol
lol i bet he must have been itching to get rid of that bottle
Use the bandaid in photoshop~
I used to own a couple of boxes of those 1/72 scaled soldiers. I didnt paint them but as a kid I set them up and had a mock battle. Is he cosplaying a Italeri brand soldier?
I believe the majority of American boys owned their own force of army men. I had a couple buckets full. I may still have them....I'm going to look for them.
yes allot of people had these soldiers. i used them to test bombs and experiments. XD good times
Aw yes, many a green soldiers were sacrificed. *gets emotional and inspirational* Their deaths shall not be in vain!
we will fight to the death! we will fight for our rights and freedom...
x_x" Unfortunately, the Army Men were pretty much cannon fodder no matter what they were in, including Toy Story. So much cross-posting from Sankaku lately...starting to get a bit annoying. ^^; Oh well.
actually yes they shall be xD they are all like haha i am a toy soldier then u strap it to a firework then they are just piles of bit of plastic xD
it might be hard to keep that pose
pure win indeed. awesome cosplay!
Nice! The green color needs to be darker though.
Agree with this, but with the exception of that this is just so awesome.
Ah, the green army man, forever locked in mortal combat with is nemesis, the tan army man.
Haha I laughed out loud at this comment. What was that game series.. Sarge's.. Men? Or something? There was a movie, I think, and some game series based on it.
It pawns all! Best cosplay ever! XD
Brings back so many memories, thanx Danny .
truly awesomeness
wow that i soo cool. hehe. his legs probably really hurt him. ouch
Also, the green face paint can't be too comfortable.
worst yet if he was allergic to the paint xD haha that would have be something
that's pretty cool, my son saw the picture and thought he was a toy XD
That's just amazing. Army men toys (and the games) are a fond memory from childhood.
LOL reminds me when I was a kid. I used to play with them...FIRE SOLDIER!!! lol
Wow, that's amazing!
GG o_O"
Totally amazing!
Now that is impressive
that's awesome i remember playing with these, i used to play war with a friend we would set up and take those little rocks you find at the bottom of fish tanks and take turns throwing the rocks at each others soldiers. the first person to loose all their soldiers lost the war. nice Cosplay!
For some reason that makes me think of some sort of artillery show-down XD
haha awesome
wow.... totally awesome!!
That guy should automatically win the costume contest. Definite thumbs up to him!
I remember someone dressing like that for Halloween. I believe he had the little stub left behind.
oh man, i saw this a few ago and wanted to post it. guess i'm too late. anyway nice cosplay. reminds me of childhood days with those green soldiers, especially one with the parachute. ^^;
definitely on the funniest list
That's awesome, a one of a kind cosplay.
its missing a giant magnifying glass.
Wow that is really awesome!
woah that's cosplay? amazing from the mini thumbnail I thought it was just an actual big toy solider.
Oh damn this is too good, That sure brings back memories of those little toy soldiers, I think I might still have a few somewhere in my room if I can find it.
That would be even more cool in a group cosplay!
Someone should cosplay as the tan army man, his mortal enemy!
Awesome! Saw that on Sankaku yesterday, and I had to save that epic picture. xD
If he could hold in that position for the rest of the day I'll consider that to be the best of all cosplayer.
wait a minute.. that guy is real?!
Excellent work on the part of cosplayer, the first time I see a well cosplay. greetings!
Thumbs up for being the most original cosplay so far.
Woww that guy is made of win. How nostalgic.. used to own so many of these.
Brilliant! Sometimes, the best idea came from the simplest solutions. Now many will say, "Why I haven't think of that?" LOL
second that, I have no idea why I haven't think to cosplay as an green army men. ^^;
made for WIN and GOLD!!!
Wow! That's amazing! O:
too awesome for words! wonder how long he can maintain that pose? and how he's going to walk afterwards? XD
hokakakakka....nice idea ^^
OMG for a minute i thought it is a life sized replica.
I'm just wondering how he is painted. Asking people to dump him into big bowl filled with green paints?
LOL! I had a collection of army men as a kid XD
can't find the word that could express such awesomeness of the toy soldier cosplay... this guy wins the internets!!!
That's rather impressive... ^^
Ahh... This bring me back to my younger time. Green army mens vs. BIG evil plastic robot.
Nice... isn't all that unique though. Saw quite a few in Barcelona, along the Las Ramblas- guys painted as white Roman statues, brown soldiers...
NO WAY! he looks like the plastic soldier toys I played back then!
Ah...brings back memories of me, my little green army men, a huge-ass magnifying lens and a bright sunny day.
This man should win a nobel prize for his awesomeness in being a REAL soldier.
Wow, looks so unreal!
That is soooo freakin' awesome. I mean completely awesome... Just makes me think Toy Story lol
That is so awesome. But also weird that I melted a plastic army man in exactly the same pose he's in a few weeks ago.
I would have to say that ranks pretty high up there.
Wow if I hadn't read then I'd thought that was a life size replica of the little army men I used to play with...
That's pretty awesome.
Really awesome! Saw on SankakuComplex too (made it to my RSS reader list). XD There's yet another thing is awesome with his cosplay: you can show it to everyone who thinks "cosplay is for weirdos"... no matter how biased the opinnion is, they'll have to agree that this particular cosplay is awesome! XD
This guy wins the internets.
that is so cool, i am going to do that next year for hollowen for sure
very original! props to the man
AWESOME!!! At first glance you would think it's big statue of miniature soildier toy, but it's really a living person. To awesome for words to describe!
LOL so crazy!
So devoted!
I miss all of my Army-men. He should get a bunch of friends to join in, have one crawling on the ground.
When i first saw it....knew it was way too cool...
Very cool.
damn! when I saw the thumbnail pic, I thought it was just one of those little army men toy figures. but when I read the title "Best Cosplay Ever", I was like WTF?! O_O simply awesome cosplay! 'nuff said.
Keeping that pose must surely cause terrible leg cramps! XD
Very very creative! I can see the guy in red in the background holding his camera out to take a picture XD
Awesome cosplay! I used to makes parachutes out of plastic bags and attach it to these guys and throw them up in the air. hahah
now that's what it was lacking. it would be best if we could attach one on him and throw him up in the air
That is truly art! So impressed!
yep awesome claps, claps!
WOW truly awesome.
Holy crap I thought it was a real plastic toy and I just couldn't understand the entry's title until I really saw this O_O
the gun is too detail though.... :p
Like everyone else... All I can say is "awesome."
Whoaa sugoi.. He even made the green base lol >.>
For a sec, I really thought it was a statue!
LOL I used to like playing with pplastic toy soldiers...
uber win!! love Army-Men when I was a kid. someone should do the sniper and bomber ^_^
Wow... I'm definitely impressed...
Crazy, that dude is crazy I say:P
Awesome! Fantastic idea!
whoa deju view. seen this on other forums with same title "best cosplay ever" and I pretty much agree. The creativity of it is extremely high.
Haha I saw soldiers in HK who looked like that. That's a fun cosplay, I'd have to admit
Exactly! He needs the plastic framework that you twist off to free him!
oh that's form lucca comics and games, the biggest italian event for every italian otaku :D
pure genius... though I don't think it's very comfortable wearing that outfit with the green paint and posing like that ^^;
absolutely!! very nice.... the cramps were worth it!! ^_^
epic win indeed... ^^
there's no toping that
Nice and the style looks a real plastic soldier.
FTW.. Amazing..
Wow. I thought it was a life size model at first!
he escaped from the Disney parade, toy story section
He is GOD!!! XD Reminds me of the days when I played with my toy soldiers... Ah, those were the days T_T I'm guessing that's an airsoft M14. Would have been better if it were a real one! I kid, I kid LOL XD
A really good costume that, he looked just like the real thing in the thumbnail.
I'd second that too
Absolutely awesome :D
wow! no words can describe this this...
epic!
Indeed awesome cosplay. I've seen non-japanese cosplayers in a near towns of mine cosplaying golden figures without to move. For money you could make a photo with them. :)
lies this isnt human =D
i wonder who does he moves?
I think it would be very difficult to hold many of the post without moving. Playing as golden statue is one thing, being a toy solider is much harder.
Wow, this cosplay is full of epicness!!! I guess he made the Army Men proud.
PURE GENIUS!
Toy Story? XD Anyway he rocks!
Thats is sooooooo cool
Nice2. But how does he moves? Or the shoes are not stuck there. lol..
That's just brilliant.. Had to look twice before i saw that it realy was a cosplay.
Epic winz. Seeing this takes me back to my childhood days of playing with little green army men.
If I see this guy i would probably mistake him for a toy and take him hime....(just joking =.= if it was a girl maybe ^.^ ) seriously i would freak out if i see him moving as i will definitely mistake him for a statue ^.^
Wow..... That's good lol.
You know, we Italians do it better ;)
wow! that's a nice getup...
Wow, I thought he was just a statue! That is a hard pose to keep unless you do martial arts and you've "mastered" the basic exercises! Reminds me of the entertainers we have here. We usually have one or two people painted in black or white and posing as statues here in the streets too. Drop a coin in their bag and they'll move like a robot and bow to you. I see lots of other nice costumes too on the source. Some of Danny's fellow troopers too =P
Clearly Genius!
Toy Story anyone?
Haha, cool. Reminds me of my childhood days, lol.
Ahahahaaa!
Indeed, this is far too awesome for words XD
ahahhhaaa the super plastic soldier remember my soldiers collection when i was child.
man!!!!! this is ULTRA-realistic!!!!!!
Haha~ awesome~ but I hope the paint was safe for use like that ^^;;
Cool, I like it.
very nice cosplay! thumbs up
Genius! But I still think the Gundam cosplay wins :P
absolut winrar cosplay of the year, without a doubt ^o^
yay army men! agree good cosplay!
That's such epic win that it's insane! Too bad that cosplay kinda restricts how much you can move though. That cosplay basically demands you stand perfectly still the whole day ^^;
Reminds me of Army Men ^^
Great Cosplay...Canadians need to do this more often then halloween
Simply awesome!
Awesome! D:
His pose is best for photoshoot I guess and not cosplay. That's pretty hard to stay that way for hours!
i used to play with these army men sooo long ago! Brings back memos, Awesome Cos!
Wow that is actually really epic win,,, I'm not sure what else to say... XD
thats wickked
snap EPIC WIN but how the heck do you move!?!!?
that is epic. Can't say much else.
that guy is a FREAKIN genius..... this guy has SO MUCH epicness that the only person who has more epicness than him..... is GOD!!!..... and we can't 100% prove he exists(not saying god doesn't exist) BUT we can prove that that cosplayer does xD Google times a Google out of 10 ROFFLMFAOTTGTMECJEG (rolling on the fing floor laughing my fing a$$ off that this guy is the most epic cosplayer ever and just epic in general) and yes i just made that up xD
THAT IS PURE WIN!
Haha That's [Freak]ing cool!
Wow looks really great =)
