Japanese cosplay is better?

A CHALLENGER APPEARS:

...What are you implying? If you knew anything about hardcore cosplayers, they make everything themselves, investing up to $300-800 per costume, and that's with raw materials.

Ok. I'll make it even more clear for you then: Dad's money.

On a second remark though, since I double posted I might as well use this post for some good. I really do think that some cosplay costumes are awesome, really. But the more awesome ones are usually the ones that cost. $300-800 ISN'T a lot of money spent on a costume you'll probably only wear once?

That's a lo of money. Implication noted?
umm, your point still fails? What were you even remotely trying to imply by simply saying money? Have you seen where half of these Japanese cosplayers live? In a small, cramped apartment, with a sewing machine, two family members, and a bunch of costumes lining the walls, crammed in along with household items?

Its a hobby that people get the most out of by how much time, sweat, money, and effort they put into it, just like anything else that's hands-on. So no, implication not noted.

The difference between a good cosplay and a bad one is usually good materials. If it's not money then it's probably just theft. Or luck.

I do respect the people who have ideas though.

The redhead is Jessica from SiN Episodes.

I was wondering if it was meant to be Jo or not. That gun looks sooo much like the SuperDragon from PD/PDZ that I thought it was some strange version of her.

Eh, today didn't compare with yesterday, but still, there was good stuff all three days. The ones I posted above were from Friday. Here are a few from Saturday:

I had posted these pics up on the xbox.com forums, and it turns out the Gears group is a professional set of cosplayers (professional cosplayer.. wtf).

The guy can be found on this web site http://www.nightmarearmorstudios.com/portfolio_war.htm

In no way is the costume less bad ass... but.. a little unfair to the people who sew their own crap in the free time from their fast food jobs.

His face/head does complete the look though. It was awesome how all three people stayed looking angry the whole time I had seen them, never breaking character.

Ahhh, that's where I recognized that guy.

Nightmare Armor received a cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft a year or two back because they were selling replicas of Master Chief's armor without Bungie's consent. Cool to see that the Gears armor is actually officially licensed by Epic :) It looks fuck awesome.

The most unhappy Mario I have ever seen:

Team Fortress chicks are hot

The rest of my Sunday pictures here (link), I want to warn though, there is some cool characters done half assed.. Shadow Link looked okay in person, but when I see the pic it looks meh, same with the Pit (Kid Icarus) chick.

Many, if not most of the cosplay photos in this thread is of professional models who are paid to do it.
 
So I guess it's a good thing I didn't actually catch the ride down there and go to MegaCon, since I only wanted to go so I could see the good cosplay. I guess there's always the FreeCon at FSU I can go to (I think it's at FSU if memory serves).
