Cosplay
Continuing with the Wonder Festival Summer cosplay coverage. Sunday was hot - so hot that I decided that I would probably die in armor on the train from the heat so decided to drive to Big Site and change in the car park instead.
You can see more pictures taken at the following sites.
Unlike the previous Wonder Festival where the cosplay area was on the second floor, todays event was held in the open area on the ground level. There were also much more people than last time - probably because of the summer holidays.
Couldn't identify any of these cosplayers...
Identified as some geezer from Deka Ranger.
Dont know who she's supposed to be - if anybody knows let us know ^^.
Another I-dont-know-who-this-is cosplayer.
Mikuru and Haruhi! Haruhi otherwise known as Saku-san.
A US Naval Aviator and trooper duel it out...
Both are hit in the boobies...
A Race queen. By the way, if you like race queens then you will find loads at Yoshimu-sans blog.
Hmmm, what could they be talking about?
Forgot what type of Zak this is.
Stormtrooper has head transplant and gets Freedom Gundams head.
Freedom Gundam also has a head transplant and gets a Stormtrooper head.
You can see more of Goldie-sans Gundam cosplay at his site.
Bah! Cant remember... But those suspenders look good.
Cute character but dont know who ToT
Being strangled by Leia (Nomi-san) is part of a stormtroopers job.
Cute anime type maid. Probably a girl underneath but wasnt too sure. Today has a ton of fellows dressed up as girlies. The word for a man dressing up as a woman is callled Josou(女装(じょそう)).
Hime cosplay. The person in black in the middle is a bloke by the way...
Have been getting in to the ranger/Kamen Rider stuff on Sunday mornings - more on this subject in a later post.
Kamen Rider Hibiki. Saw this costume for sale on Yahoo auction for 400,000 yen...
Hmmm. A cross between a kitten and Mai Shiranui...
This cosplayer goes by the name of Cyborg NeNe...
Trooper and Ryu battle it out. HADOUKEN!
Trooper looses and gets it in the chest.
OK, thats it for today. Were off to Okinawa for a few days and I'm not sure if I'll be able to drag myself away from the beach to post new updates - but I'll try ^^; Coming up next are the Gundam kits from the Hobby Japan booth, female figurines and a ton of other goodness.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

I like the survey at the end. BTW I've wanted a storm trooper suit since the first time I saw Starwars! I picked this up at a shop last month and hung it in my office and I'm diggin it (the GF hates it and wont allow its display in the living room),
