TagCom 2 Cosplay Pictures, yo!

March 9, 2008

As promised, our perversion for costumed girls (and guys, if you swing that way) shall receive its fix for tonight. For tonight, the cosplay gods smile upon us as:

Last week, I attended TagCom 2, an animé convention at Gateway, Cubao. It sucked my wallet dryer than my sex life (I don’t think the comic addiction helps). What really made the event a smashing success was the Cosplay. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take pics of everyone since there were tons of them, so I’d like to share with you some of my favorites.

 

I don’t really have an extensive knowledge of animé characters or much of Japanese pop culture, and with them, I didn’t know who was going as who, so I’ll just call them "those guys into animé." Although I didn’t recongize them easily, you can see how much money, effort and time were put into making these costumes- the kind of money, effort and time that if put into academics, would yield scholarships.

 

Dunno who she was supposed to be, but she had a long sword. Trust me, it was very intimidating. And… wait… is that a dude in a school girl’s uniform behind her?!

I don’t know who you guys are, but I’m guessing that long, phallic, hairy thing on your shoulder was meant to be there.

See? Even your grandma’s weirded out.

 

img168/2788/cosplay16qv7.jpg

Are we being invaded again? They won’t stop until we all scream "yatta" when we see something cool. Goddamn it.

 

img187/1858/cactuarrp9.jpg

That’s right, yo. That’s frickin’ Cactuar. Or at least, I think it is. The guy inside looks like he’s having a stroke.

 

img227/2038/chunlird8.jpg

Definitely one of the cutest chicks ever to wear a Chun-Li costume. And check it out, she was even kind enough to pose for me. The tricky part was trying to get her number. And I guess we all know that chicks + stocking fetish + spiked cuffs + white boots = kinkiest night ever.

 

img227/4352/drdoomby0.jpg

That’s right, bitches. Dr. Frickin’ DOOM! And his oversized HELMET!! OF DOOM!!

 

img141/4364/ironmanvsmario2zf5.jpg

The best damn Iron Man costume there, going up against an Italian plumber with a giant head, holding a box with a question mark. Fuck yes. EPIC FIGHT OF THE CENTURY!

 

img88/8457/ryuhadukenpz6.jpg

Know what’s so cool about this guy? See that smiling dude behind him? That’s right, Ryu hired some guy to dress in black and hold his hadouken for him. Now, that’s total dedication right there. Lookit’ the smile on Ryu’s assistant’s face? Isn’t that the smile of someone who looks like he’s happy to just be doing what he’s doing?

 

Because of all the excitement of Cosplay, I was wondering if I could squeeze my fat ass into a costume one of these days? Daredevil maybe? Iron Fist? Cyclops? Ooh, I know.

And there you have it, folks. Bandwidth rape courtesty of Comicology.

It kills me to have to attend these things because I never know who to come dressed as. So I end up not going. :(

Is that dude in the first pic off this post named “L”? Cuz he looks like a loser. Just saying. Hey, nice header!

Posted by Fritz at March 10, 2008, 9:56 am

My friend’s tubbier than you are and he did some cosplay before he got too busy. He and his bro went as Cy-kill and Leader-1 from Gobots a year ago. I was the dude carying their shit around and clearing the away the gawkers. Felt like a fucking roadie.

Posted by strobe at March 11, 2008, 5:39 am

Hey, strobe. I do have a pic of Iron Man costume guy. I just didn’t post it because I’d be giving him too much face time, yeah?

So, just for you, bud, click right here, buddy. If that doesn’t work, I’ll do something else.

Posted by comicology at March 11, 2008, 4:46 pm

Posted by redbaks at March 13, 2008, 4:29 pm

Posted by strobe at March 14, 2008, 1:46 pm

@ Fatima

Oohhh, hello.

And yeah, you didn’t. I asked for it, but you didn’t give it. I was all “Hey, I write for comicology.i.ph, maybe we could have an interview with you. I don’t have a card but if you give me your number, I can have my people get in touch with you.” And of course, by “my people”, I meant “me.”

Oh, and the things I wrote there, if they’re offensive, I’d take them down in a heart beat.

Great costume, by the way. And hey, I’m still serious about that interview, if you’re willing to give it.

Posted by comicology at March 15, 2008, 12:05 pm

I have to admit the Fatima girl is teh lurve.

Posted by Steel at March 15, 2008, 10:07 pm

fatima you put the hot in cosHOTplay.lol

Posted by google at April 9, 2008, 9:28 pm

@ Comicology guy:

You asked me for my number? I don’t even remember. I was pretty out of it erratically during the day, probably because I didn’t eat anything all day (my friend who cosplayed Hard Gay and I headed out pretty early and arrived at the con right smack opening time).

I can be contacted pretty easily online(contact info can be found on my website), but I’m out of the country right now, so if the interview is in-person it won’t be possible until June or so.
