2009 December 26

When cosplay goes wrong!

1. Sailor Moon

Usagi Tsukino is cosplayed by the Wookie from Star Wars.

Even Sailor Moon Peter Griffin from the Family Guy looks better.

2. Felicia

Darkstalkers need revenge. Is she wearing a nekomimi headband?

3. Lion-o from Thundercats

Where’s Mumm-Ra when you need him?.

4. Pikachu

Two lesser known Pokémon species, otakuchu and gimpachu.

Also check out Pikachu as a love doll.

5. Hello Kitty

Kitty and the Gimp.

You can’t go past Hello Kitty Darth Vader.

6. Gundam

God damn Gundam! The original Mobile Suit Gundam.

This Gundam cosplayer has got his own merchandise. A box set.

7. Doraemon

A cosplaying cat.

8. InuYasha

Somebody ate InuYasha.

9. Naruto

Naruto Uzumaki, using his ninja skills, has mastered the art of deception.

10. Silver Surfer

Foiled, yet again.

    That home-made pikachu on the right looks like she’s heading out for a bank robbery.

    I’ve seen a few of these before and man they can’t look any worse. The hello kitty ones are disturbing

    Wow!
    The people (and that cat!) interact with society ?
    Do they parade as normal during their daily lives? Do we unsuspectingly converse with these closet cartoon fantasists ?

      Heh heh, “Parade as normal”. I suspect that the majority of these people aren’t the type to get noticed. Maybe a “cosplayer registry”?

    Hmm… The guy in the “Gundam” box reminds me of Andrew W.K. XD

    I want one of those Gimpachu masks.
    Only problem is, it may attract the Sailor Moon wannabes.

      Zed: Bring out the Gimp.

      Maynard: Gimp’s sleeping.

      Zed: Well, I guess you’re gonna have to go wake him up now, won’t you?

    The black Hello Kitty one isn’t a cosplay though, it’s an actual actor promoting the team up of Hello Kitty and MAC cosmetics.

    About halfway through you can see him

    I see how most of them can be bad. The felicia is not that bad the girl is bigger but it could be a lot worse. With the black Naruto it is like saying that black people cannot cosplay I can only think of a handful of options.

    • December 25, 2010

      I think that the black Naruto is a fail because Naruto is white. It’d be like me trying to cosplay as Akagi Takenori, just wouldn’t work no matter how hard I tried.

        so what you are saying is that anyone other than Whites or Asians should be allowed to cosplay, although there is a definite lack of black characters available.

        • September 15, 2011

          nah man, i don’t recall mentioning who can and can’t cosplay. don’t take it down the race path. am i sexist because i think that the wookie at #1 sailor moon (above) is a fail? it’s a dude with a beard playing a chick in a school girls’ uniform!

          anyone can cosplay to their hearts delight. go crazy. knock yourself out. but if you are going to try and imitate your favourite character and you don’t pull it off for whatever reason (i.e. wrong sex, wrong race, too fat/skinny, too tall/short etc) then i am free to express my opinion on whether i think that is a fail or not. and that is all this is.
