TGS cosplayers gallery

You simply can't barge your way through the throbbing mass of people at the Tokyo Game Show without bumping into video game characters which have somehow manifested in reality. Actually, physically bumping into them isn't recommended, as the ornate headdresses, gargantuan shoulder pads and razor-sharp hair is very likely to cause unexpected injury. With all the Clouds marching about the hallways of the Makuhari Messe center, you're likely to become trapped in a cosplay iron maiden* if you're not careful.

*Due to creative cosplay, "maiden" may in truth be "man."

Ooh La La fo' shizzle!

Damn, that's two posts tonight that I jumped on for sexy reasons. I need to find me a woman, soon.

blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:25AM

damn, the iron maiden was a tough ass dungeon

plyx @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:34AM

What is the CDF, exactly?

blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:44AM

commodore defense force

and i just looked thru those pics, the thomas jefferson costume was the coolest

plyx @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:56AM

Well, in that case, Amiga 4000 was the shiznit!

blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 22nd 2007 3:04AM

-1 u troll bitch

Fine, I shall make the first comment about it. Look! a phallic object on the floor!

**"Married With Children"-style Woos**

I'm amazed there's an Ulala cosplayer there. There hasn't been a new Space Channel 5 game in ages. There's Hal in PSU, of course, but she's a rather pale facsimile, if you ask me.

Grant @ Sep 22nd 2007 10:06AM

i was thinking the same thing.
i mean that thing was on Dreamcast.... talk about living in the past.

btw, the DC will still win the console war... it's currently just laying dormant waiting for it's competitors to destroy it's self.

I thought they all looked great there was some outstanding once this year... I wish we here in the west were less of a bunch of tight asses so we could do this... more...

krazy @ Sep 22nd 2007 4:40AM

all ugly.....

Bidoof Protection Military @ Sep 22nd 2007 5:07AM

You must be krazy.

jopojelly @ Sep 22nd 2007 6:22AM

No, he's right, I see better-looking asian girls here in San Diego, but I bet its just a fluke with these pictures...guess the photographer prefers chubby faces, heh.

Anyway, isn't it helarious how in the reflection in the mirror you can see swarms of middle-age men with cameras taking pictures of the teenage girl?

Mr Khan @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:52PM

The question is: Are they taking pictures for the girl, or for the Space Channel 5 nostalgia?

Bidoof Protection Military @ Sep 22nd 2007 5:11AM

Amazing. It never ceases to amaze me the dedication of some cosplayers. Almost feels like the video game/anime/manga characters came to life, or we have entered their worlds.

Bonus points for the Ace Attorney cosplayers, M. Bison cosplayer, and Ulala cosplayers.

ThornedVenom @ Sep 22nd 2007 6:14AM

I really can't get over your name and avatar. XD

Tim @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:26PM

M. Bison was badass

manuel @ Sep 22nd 2007 6:15AM

That's some nice cosplay. :)

WedgeTalon @ Sep 22nd 2007 6:35AM

I thought the Rydia and Edge costumes were pretty awesome.

Kye (NDF - Earth Ring) @ Sep 22nd 2007 10:13AM

Look in the reflection in the upper left pane of glass.

killploki @ Sep 22nd 2007 10:38AM

What the hell is happening with the ears on link?

Forsakyn @ Sep 22nd 2007 12:22PM

I just hope she realizes she dropped her sex toy - it's custom and all so it can't be cheap!

Carl @ Sep 22nd 2007 12:54PM

Lol, I was standing like 5 ft behind you when you took some of these, didn't realize it'd be going to joystiq.

wako @ Sep 22nd 2007 1:08PM

Japanese cosplayers bring shame to american cosplayers....

Mightyelf @ Sep 22nd 2007 10:28PM

Great costumes, is a shame they don`t look as good as the characters in those costumes.
By the way why every one says Japanes girls are hot? all they look anorexic to me. And many of them are not really pretty, comun pretty we can say?
Not like the pussy cat dolls, Beyonce, Eva Longoria or girls like them...

ill trooper @ Sep 23rd 2007 4:05AM

I see a lot of trips to Tokyu Hands for felt, glue, and paint in there.

Goober @ Sep 23rd 2007 12:33PM

God I feel sorry for these poor people.

kepolar @ Sep 23rd 2007 5:53PM

Androgeny is rampant

DjDATZ @ Sep 24th 2007 10:27AM

Hey Joystiq...If you guys took these pictures, can you make sure you take FULL body shots if possible, head to toes. Cutting off their legs, whilst leaving about a foot of empty glass space above their heads isn't very good photo-taking. Footwear in most cases is an intricate part to a costume, and leaving it out is not cool.

James @ Sep 24th 2007 11:43AM

Anorexic are you kidding? It's no secret that some countries like the US and UK have huge obesity problems. People are naturally thin when they don't over-eat and do a bit of walking.

The only remotely attractive one is the Space Channel 5 girl though.
