        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...

      Σd(>口< Seconded, that sword is frakkin' epic looking. You can tell he put a lot of time and effort into its construction. The only thing that would impress me more is if it split into the First Tsurugi's components xD

    great costume, and he hired a great photog to get his poses. very moody and color-appropriate, harking back to the palette in the Advent Children movie.

    well done.

    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

    Seems to be fun~
    But I wonder...
    What kind of cosplay that could fit me in...?
    My huge body makes it hard to find the right one that suits me....
    Should I be another beastly character again?
    Or maybe I should try to become Bahamut Sin? :D
