To those who will not, could not, and have no interest in cosplaying...

If the most high quality, flawlessly executed costume of your very favourite character appeared before your eyes...

Would you cosplay it, at least for a day?


And if so, what character would have this power over you?




this topic came from me thinking:

"I don't like cosplaying.... But if a perfect Gray Fox costume appeared in front of my wardrobe, complete with HF blade and laser eye, I would probably wear every day for the rest of my life."

I'd totally cosplay as a Big Daddy if a proper, well made and awesome costume was provided.

I pretty much say the same, except, I don't have an avatar of someone cosplaying.

Besides, none of my favorite characters wear glasses (I don't want to wear contact lenses, can't stand to think about sticking something in my eye).

I'd cosplay as a vault dweller. I'd rather say I"m disguising myself not cosplaying. I'd do it for Halloween.

If i'd actually look good in the costume, i'd think about it. The problem is, youd have to go down the list a ways before you'd find a male favorite character of mine. If the costume was of one of my favorite male characters, than sure.

I own a Ghillie suit, so I could probably get away with saying that I was CoD4 cosplaying.

Word. That thing needs a fully functional drill-arm as well.

Most of cosplaying is taking on the role of that character. Looking like them is only part of it. I'm a horrible actor, so unless I'm intimately familiar with the character and he is already a total caricature, I wouldn't.

Nope. I dressed as Donatello from TMNT when I was six once, but that's pretty much it. It was a sweet hand made costume though.

My school had a 'cape girl.' She was weird also, but it was a lord of the rings cloak, complete with that green elf brooch.

I don't think I would. I always hated costumes, I never went to hallowen parties because of this.
But I do enjoy watching cosplayers when they are good. Which is rare.

Oh, I forgot. I dressed up as a black mage for Halloween one year. It's a 16x24 4-color thing, so I got to take liberties with the costume. That was fun.

Is the day where I found this flawless costume Halloween? Because if not, then no.

That said, I did meet my girlfriend-before-this-one at a Halloween party dressed up as Jade.

I could not imagine ever cosplaying. Unless I change a lot in personality, in which I might dress up in something for children. But even then, that is highly unlikely.

Gordon Freaking Freeman. The bad thing is, there are no conventions of videogames here! So I can't check cosplays or even think about doing it for me.

I find cosplaying a little strange really  considering most costumes I've seen are either badly made or just too good that you wonder if these people have anything else to do. Not that I'm against people who do cosplay but it's just not my cup of tea.

Plus I think costumes are pretty stupid if you're serious about them.

Did you know you can find tail butt plugs?  That takes it to a whole new level.  Weird shit.

Would the costume give me the physique of the character I'd want to cosplay?  If so, sure.  Hell, I wouldn't mind looking that awesome every day of my life.

I always encourage my GF to browse the hangers in my local Anime store. I love it, it's cute and kinky.

For those who don't like cosplay but do like Hallowe'en, what is the difference?

I have never cosplayed, but I do attend anime conventions and love it.  They are no more weird than any other group of people.   Just like a sport fan who may dress in his clubs character or similar, these people are just having fun.

I did however once spend an entire day in a gorilla costume in the city of Melbourne.  I even drove my car in it.  Don't knock it until you try it - it was a blast.

Halloween is a holiday for me to be myself.
Cosplay is a way for people to escape there existence and take on that of a well known character.

Not sure but I'm waiting for some ridiculously jacked dude to cosplay as Kratos...or a super-scrawny guy, either way would be hilarious.

I think that's an oversimplification, but I kinda agree with the general premise. Halloween is a dedicated single day were costumes are celebrated as a form of expression. I don't think cosplaying is necessarily dangerous or anything, but it just kinda strikes me as a lot of effort.

Granted, there are a lot of things I do that take a lot of hours that are kinda "pointless" in the end. So guess I'm the pot....
