Cosplays of 2012 - Kamen Rider Fourze-tan




Originally, I made this costume for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011, and wore it. I was a hit there, but I wasn't quite satisfied with the costume - it was a rush job. I fixed up parts of it and wore it again at Momocon 2012...but still wasn't satisfied with it. Finally I decided to change things up with a different wig, better boots and a different style for the arms and legs and now I am finally satisfied with the costume!

This was really just another excuse to wear the black wig, but I think it works much, much better for the costume than the white wig did.

Archive Posts - Cosplay of 2011

2011 was an interesting year. I went to ten conventions total throughout the year, but only cosplayed at about five of them, and only made new costumes for four of them. I ended up repairing, updating and re-wearing many old costumes, including Tao Jun, Touko, Sabrina and Twilight Suzuka. In total I had six completely new costumes, including:

Snow! -  -
Platinum/Dawn/Hikari from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, in her Platinum outfit. This I wore to Katsucon specifically because I wanted a costume I could wear in the snow. And...there wasn't snow. Well, there was a large pile of snow, but that was about it.

If asked to pick one costume that completely defined 2010 for me, it is this one:

















While there have been many cosplayers of Touko/Hilda/White since, this photo was taken just two weeks after the first pictures of the protagonists for Black and White were leaked onto the internet from CoroCoro magazine. I was the first cosplayer outside of Japan, if not the first cosplayer period, to complete and wear this costume.

Ah, 2009. If 2008 was "busy" with the 8 costumes I wore, 2009 was insane. In 2009 I attended: Katsucon, Momocon, NashiCon (as staff), Animazement, Otakon, and Anime Weekend Atlanta, for a total of six conventions and twelve new costumes. This was not including all of the older costumes I re-wore to various conventions!

If there was one big thing that happened in 2009, it was Soul Eater. I did three different SE costumes:
