So he IS cosplaying as King Vegeta? Are you sure? Maybe he's cosplaying as a fanfic Saiyan. Look at his cape and hair: NOTHING like King Vegeta, and like you all noted, he has no beard or mustache.

It seems like King Vegeta to me. His hair does look wonky, but it still seems like that was his ultimate goal. I would have to say he was trying to capture how the hair comes out from behind his head during a front or head shot. Even so he still forgot the mustache.

*pats Dayspring on the back* There, there Dayspring, I know it's traumatizing. It's definitely either King Vegeta or at the very least Vegeta in his royal armor since it has that insignia on his left chest plate.

Anyway, I've posted some more DBZ cosplayers:

Dear Kami! These take shitty to a whole new level.

Do love the Majin Buu though!

Though not cosplayers, I find this as one of the funniest DB-related pics ever:

And if people didn't know who they were, I think they would mistake them for being crazy fanboys or something.

That's the magic of cosplay. Especially American cosplayers. They rarely tend to get the outfits right when they make them themselves and they hardly look the part for their characters. Have you seen all the 250lb girls who thought they could pull off looking like a rather slim girl with revealing clothing?

I almost had a heart attack from the bad mental image...

As for the King Vegeta/whatever, it looks like a very shitty costume anyway, so I don't particularly care.

See, I don't have a problem with that person that's 250lbs dressing as Sailor Moon, as long as the costume is well made and accurate. They have just as much right to dress as their favourite character than someone that's 110 lbs., which by the way, I've seen bad cosplay from them too. Trust me, it doesn't matter *what* size you are if the cosplay is bad, you don't look good.

And speaking of "pulling off anime females", half of them have bodies and proportions that are impossible to pull off from women that are perfectly slim anyway.

Maybe so, but no one likes to see a fatty in tight, short clothing.

Neither male or female.

He's older Gohan's VA, right?

And who is that next to Sabat?

Yeah he's older Gohan's VA, as well as the narrator season 5 onward.

The girl next ro Sabat is Laura Bailey (Little Trunks0 and in between her and Mr. Schemmel is Kara Edwards (Videl/Goten).

Yes, most of the time, and that Chichi is fine man, she is doing it.

Ya that's one of the few where my theory about female cosplayers being better at pulling stuff off, sort of hits a snag..... >_>

Surely it's a general fashion thing. Oh, you women.

Wow, that last batch was terrible. The exception being the Chi-chi, that girl was pulling it off quite believably. The African-American dude as Vegeta made me chuckle in a good way. The costume was only so-so, but he had enough style to get the pose/stance almost perfect. If he had a better costume and a little more hair gel to spike up his 'fro, he'd be able to pull it off with some very decent results IMO.
