I stumbled over this:

Mr Eff cosplay! I went and looked to see if there was any other obscure Jhonen Vasquez character cosplay and found a bunch:

Filler Bunny (also JTHM, Zim and Gir)

Happy Noodle Boy

Squee (plus another Gir)

There's a complete shitload of goths/emo kids dressed as JTHM but they pretty much look like they always look so they're not worth posting.

I've seen countless Justice League costumes over the years, but that is the best classic Martian Manhunter I've ever seen. Goddamn!

It's almost perfect but it's missing one crucial element ...

Just kidding, of course he's got photos with oreos:

His name is Kalel Nc Sean and he's got a really impressive backlog of cosplay costumes.

We should probably post a few of the terrible MM costumes for contrast so people can appreciate just how excellent that guy's costume really is. Here's a few selected totally at random:

I'll let you guys in on a secret, the trick to getting really big DBZ hair is to be a really tiny person yourself

No, the trick is foam triangles! Lots of foam triangles crazyglued together!

Just kidding, the trick is actually to wear a bananawig.

Of course a true cosplay master knows that the only true method for DBZ hair greatness is construction paper

_{That last one actually looks pretty good from a distance}

I think DBZ cosplay is the most enjoyable when it is at its worst.

There's so much terrible DBZ cosplay that we'd need to break it down into categories and individual characters to cover it all. Majin Buu is the obvious place to start.

And the classic:

Oddly specific question- a friend (female, mid 20's, petite but very fit) lost her right arm below the elbow a couple of years back, and she's been thinking up cosplay/general costume ideas that play off the arm.

Make sure to tell her that we're all genuinely excited about her cosplay opportunities and are waiting for the results.

_{We're also jealous that our Ash costumes could never be as accurate as hers but that's kind of hosed up so maybe don't mention that}

Wow what the hell happened here? It's like he gave up halfway through the robot and said gently caress it.

Officer URL's legs are just iron bars without knees so they're next to impossible to cosplay accurately:

Being able to move in your costume is a big plus

... but it sometimes has to be sacrificed in the name of accuracy

Then there's all the bulky costumes where sitting down is either impossible or fraught with danger:

So someone decided to cosplay as MGS5's "troubling" character Quiet

I very nearly said at the time "He needs to tear some holes in his tights :colbert:

I then went "Hmmm, I wonder how many people have cosplayed as obscure He-Man characters" and then spent 12 hours trying to track down loving Rio Blast and Man-E-Faces and Kowl and everyone else. I maybe have to split that post up into 2 or 3 parts because I've got several dozen images to post.

Here's Rio Blast and Man-E-Faces and Kowl as teasers:

The Grand Space Inquisitor was definitely there:

I love how Galactus was photobombing people all the way over on the other side of the con:

There were a bunch of other cosplayers on stilts as well so I guess Big Costumes are a growing trend.

Another five officers, including a sergeant and a constable wearing bulletproof vests, surrounded the man who appeared to have two automatic pistols strapped to his legs; a bandolier of bullets across his chest, grenades hanging from his belt and two samurai swords sticking out of his black bag.

The police eventually told him to keep his fake weapons in his bag while he was on public transport and let him go without charge. :v:
