I can't wait to see yours! I'm sure you're almost there send us some pics when you finish it!

And I didnt know so many people here cosplayed/would like to. Last year the most original/simple cosplay had to go to this guy, I was impressed how simple it was to make yet easy to recognize yet noone ever cosplays him.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Did anyone make notice of your attire while at the gym?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

This is from Halloween a few years ago when I went as Yamcha and my friend went as Tien. I tried dying a gi, but it came out more golden orange than orange.

I just did my first make-up test for my Frieza cosplay! I haven't used proper prosthetic glue and didn't blend with latex yet, so the real results should be better.

The amount of unfit 'Goku's I have seen means I am currently training to fulfill the role of an ACTUAL Saiyan. Convention is in for a big surprise...

I'd dress as #17 frequently about four years ago, sans the blue converse (black) and green socks (white) though. I have a Bruce Lee outfit I use for working out, so maybe I'd pass for a young Jackie Chun?

Hahaha I actually liked wearing the Hawaiian shirt way more than the armor. The armor was really heavy on my shoulders.

I would love to redo the Frieza, and start Zangya DBZ-wise, and I'm trying to surprise my boyfriend with a cosplay from a newer anime he likes (no idea if he reads this). I also want to redo a wig for Jessie from Team Rocket because my past one was too heavy.

Sooooooo I want to cry. I mentioned earlier redoing the Freeza armor, and I did. But with my old pattern, different materials, and better sealers, this took me three days and under 50$ rather than several months.

I still need to paint the white trim and add the top and bottom leather to prevent chafing, but gaaahhhhhh

Hell yeah I'd cosplay as a DBZ character, but i'm too lazy to make a costume or search for one. I usually just go to a convention with regular clothes.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
