Who should I cosplay as?
Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:36 pm
There's an anime club in our town that has been having events usually every every third month, and I always try to come up with someone interesting to dress as. April was Lisa Hayes from Robotech, and July was R Tanaka from Kyukyoku Choujin R. Now the next event is scheduled for late September or early October, and I can't decide between either of these three...
Ginrei of Giant Robo
PRO: She's cool and powerful, has a unique design, and could fit me pretty well
CON: Giant Robo hasn't been mainstream for at least six years, white dress is hard to find, and the conventions are usually 85% kids and 15% older fans who would know who Ginrei is
Skunk Kusai
PRO: I could easily get into character, items moderately easy to find, get silent honour of being the first Skunk cosplayer ever
CON: Con attendees laughing at his name, having to find blue face paint (depending on whether I choose 1980 or 2003 Skunk)
Lupin III
PRO: Lupin is the coolest guy ever, most people know who Lupin is, items would be really easy to find
CON: Where can I get that wig? And would all my hair fit under it?
So what do you guys think? I could dress as any of these guys and not regret doing so, but the only real factors are A) costume item availability, and B) public reaction. I still have over a month, so tell me what you think!
