JELEINEN Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Wandering through afansview.com I stumbled across these: http://www.fansview.com/2004/awa/0925b0137.jpg http://www.fansview.com/2004/awa/0925c0044.jpg Probably one of the best Macross costumes I've ever seen. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Pretty cute...she doesn't have it going up there, and I wonder what her ass is like. Quote
Graham Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Sticking to the subject of Macross cosplay, here's some Hong Kong cosplay from a comic convention earlier this year. First up, a Hikaru type VF-1J battroid. This cosplayer obviously used the first issue Yamato 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru toy as a reference, as just like the toy he incorrectly has a DYRL pilot in the cockpit Actually, seeing this I don't know whether to laugh or cry Graham Quote
Graham Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 And now for Hikaru himself.................. Graham Quote

aaajin Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) Hi Mr. Hikaru..what happened to your hair? stucked in your helmet? ...anyway, Miriya's helmet looks cool though.. Edited September 28, 2004 by aaajin Quote
Knight26 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) the Millia's Helmet looks very good from the one picture, but the flight suit, well I can tell how she made it from a suit much larger,a t least length wise then she needed. The crotch sits way too low and is a dead give away, obviously she got a jump suit, lycra maybe, one size too large and extra long, chopped and dyed it, or used two. I applaud the effort but the result is the low crotch. It would have also looked nicer if she had forgone the heels, sorry but they are stupid in a flight or combat suit, and actually modeled the belt buckle onto a real belt. She obviously has some talent though, so if she put some more time and effort into it I bet she could turn out a really good one. That VF-1J makes me giggle, obviously he put a lot of effort into it and has some skills but the execution leaves something to be desired. The hikaru, well he looks to have used a painters smock for the base and then he didn't build up the rest of the suit, if he had it might have looked better, but it would have taken a lot more work.

Wabbit Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 The Milia costume should fit tightly, not that loose. And Hikaru's VF-1J, is that silk? The maker(s) of it had put a lot of effort in it though... Quote
Mechamaniac Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 The Millia costume looks great, but the chick looks more like Mira Furlan than Millia. Still, nice costume though, it's good (and rare) to see a costume that someone actually put some work into. Here are a few I found from Otakon 04... (big doofy looking Hikaru, and not bad looking Minmay) Quote
Mechamaniac Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Dayum, she did a nice job on Mylene. Especially the guitar. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Damn you EXO! Making me choose between Millia and Wink. Wink is like the hottest thing to ever hit Cosplay. I'm sooooo soooooooooo in love with her. Such a cutie. Have you seen her Rikku? DAYMN!! Vostok 7 Quote
EXO Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I have no idea who these people are... just that they like to dress up... haha Quote
Vostok 7 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I have no idea who these people are... just that they like to dress up... haha Look around for Pretearwink whenever you get a chance. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. :wub: Vostok 7 Quote

Solscud007 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Ok for some strange reason I like the VF-1J. Kinda like a big ass plush. My favorite feature is the cute SD looking pilot in the canopy. Why does Hikaru (the balding asian) have a gun? Looks like a Springfield or SV. weird. Quote
EXO Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 it looks like the costume are based on toys, the valk is based on the 1:60 VF-1J. not just the pilot but the panel lines are similar and the Arii Hikaru PVC statue had a gun... Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 oh no, is this gonna be another cosplay thread? Nice pix though! Quote
Knight26 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Why oh why do uniform cosplayers always insist on using the wrong fragging materials? That Hikaru uniform might have looked decent if he had used actual uniform materials. Quote
KingNor Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 (edited) it looks like the costume are based on toys, the valk is based on the 1:60 VF-1J. not just the pilot but the panel lines are similar and the Arii Hikaru PVC statue had a gun... we're through the looking glass, people.. things start getting scarry when we can tell what toy someone based a hidious costume off of... beware the depths of MW ***edit*** this was my 1000th post.

Hikuro Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 *BEGINS TO CRY* M-mylene-chan...I LOVE YOU!!!!! >< *runs off crying* Quote
Godzilla Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 wow that chick who is cosplaying Mylene has pretty eyes. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 wow that chick who is cosplaying Mylene has pretty eyes. Verry, nice looking girl Quote
Zentrandude Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 And now for Hikaru himself..................Graham you sure he isn't just robbing you and it just happens to be wearing a suit he robbed from a cosplayer? Quote
mcpaz Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Dayum, she did a nice job on Mylene. Especially the guitar. Yep, she did a great job on the guitar... and her parents did a superb job making her... Quote
Chuey Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Guys, personally, I have to agree with JELEINEN that this gal who made the Millia did a fine job. In dealing with anime costuming, you have a certain level of interpretation as you're dealing with someone's illustration. As someone who has done costuming for a few years (mainly Star Wars), one has to use what one has in terms of their own physical appearance, skills and resources. Any ways, here are a few more pictures of this gal at the Altantia, Georgia, Dragon-con 2004 by Cosplay.com photographer, Eurobeat King. You can find more images at his Dragon-Con 2004 (3340 photos) gallery. Eurobeat King image of Millia cosplayer at Dragon-con 2004 While as much as I enjoy pretty Macross cosplay gals as the next red blooded male , my favorite has to be this VF-1S suit that can not only be transformed into all three modes, but one can add strike armor components. Edited October 1, 2004 by Chuey Quote
KingNor Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 is that guy wearing the costume in gerwalk mode? it's pretty obvious he's not wearing it in fighter mode, but if he could somehow walk around in gerwalk that would be pretty impressive. Quote

That is ATLANTA, not Alantia. In all my years I grew up in Atlanta and especially when I was at Georgia Tech, I never been to Dragon Con... Quote
