    If it were heavy, the veins popping would be travelling up and down his biceps as well. As it stands, I can't see this thing being more than maybe 10kg tops, and would probably be more like 12 lbs. Majorly sweet cosplay though. I've seen a few pretty good clouds myself, but they've never had the props done up as well...

Hi,
I'm going to get into trouble soon for semi-hijacking threads, but I don't mean to.
I've been trying to find out how to contact people at dannychoo.com because we have something you would probably be interested in.... and I reckon danny is too super busy to read any mail he gets.

As this post is titled cosplay, my company are promoting an upscale Tokyo cosplay event CharaPa! / キャラパッ！　

www.charapa.net

It's new, it's aiming to upscale cosplay in Tokyo and also make it open to Japanese and non-Japanese.
It features a number of celebrities (Takafumi Horie/ Juichiro Nagashima) and it's directly linked with the largest Maid Cafe in Akihabara (@home). We are also trying very hard to promote in Japanese and English so both the mobile and website are bilingual.
In the future we would like to live stream it to the net too, so the live acts can be enjoyed by people overseas.

We like the bloggers at dannychoo to come and check it out (and of course everyone else here too who can make it to Tokyo!)

It'll give you a chance to beat that guy at his cosplay ;)
It's also a chance to really start something.

Thanks,
Ben
