@PsychoShinji: Do you happen to be named after Shinji Ikari? :D Why, yes I am! It's my online handle that I chose years and years ago. Evangelion is probably my favorite series, ever. I've also cosplayed as Shinji Ikari in his plugsuit and school uniform for years- since I was 14 myself! Hehe. Awes...

Sweet, guys! I hope we can see each other at a con someday! I'll make sure to post photos if I see any other Tezuka cosplayers at Otakon. Talk to ya after the weekend!

Thank you! Expect more pictures soon~ My friend and I are getting ready for Otakon and we're going to do a few random photoshoots to get detail shots of our various costumes, Astro included!

Thanks! I've always wanted to go to Anime Boston! It's on my con-wishlist. So far, though, I just go to Otakon, Katsucon, Dragon*Con, Anime Weekend Atlanta, and Animazement. Hopefully next year I can go to AB!

:blush: Thanks, Acorn! Hehe, and I'm glad you like the boots! They are built around my old worn out black boots. I took shiny red four-way spandex and stretched it over foam covers for the boots themselves. I wish someone would make official Astro boots for purchase though. I know I'd definitely buy...

What an awesome outfit -- GREAT JOB!! Better watch out for Cora, Atlas and Nikki! XD LOVE the "blue core" -- VERY new-millenium Astro! Aw, thank you! I'm glad the Blue Core look checks out! I'd been debating whether to do the outside of the chest door or attempt an exposed-innards section and then ...

I figured I would start a new thread. The Anime Boston thread was specifically for that convention and I just sorta...hijacked it towards the end. ^^;;; I also hesitated to resurrect any of the super-old costume threads. This way, any new costumes people want to post could possibly go in this thread...

Thanks guys! :3 Avatargirl- Hehe, it's funny you should mention that; I actually get mistaken for being Japanese quite frequently, including on a trip I took with my comics class to Japan in Nov/Dec 2007. I had taught myself enough conversational Japanese to get by, but could understand more than I ...

:heart: Thank you so much for the compliments and encouragement! I was actually considering doing a helmet headpiece much like the cosplayer in the photos posted from Anime Boston... I've seen her around on Cosplay.com and I love her costumes! I'm not sure, though... I would like to take advantage o...

Thank you!
