Here’s another extremely well done costume. I think cosplayers in the US are finally catching up to their counterparts in the far east in terms of creativity and quality. And I’ve got a theory to share as well..I think most of the top-quality cosplaying that we’ve been seeing has something in common, and that’s most of them have costumes which completely cover the cosplayers’ face and body. So I guess the lesson to be learnt is to put on something that doesn’t give your identity (or body measurements) away. Ironic ain’t it, considering how cosplaying originated from animes and most animes have scantily clad brtues & babes.

The Serenity ship that’s been in the works by Quantum Mechanix (QMx) has finally been completed, and it made its maiden debut at SDCC 09. And what a piece of work it is! I absolutely loved the Firefly TV series, and together with Twenty Four (24) the series, are IMHO two of the best series of all time. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw pictures and videos of the ship in its full glory.

My only concern now is how much it’ll cost. I hope it won’t be ridiculously expensive as I would really love to add this girl to my collection.

I wrote about those irresistible Bioshock 2 figures in my previous post, and now I came across these pictures. Bioshock 2 hasn’t been out but there’re already cosplayers out there making brilliant costumed representations of the Big Sister character from the game. This is one of the best cosplays I’ve seen in a while if you ask me. Kudos to the person who took the time and effort in putting together such a great costume.

This will be the start of a slew of SDCC 2009 and Wonderfest 2009 news I’ll be writing about hopefully in the next couple of days. There’re so much awesome stuff in the pipeline for us collectors I’m wondering how we’ll be able to pick and choose! To start this off, here’s one of my favorites. I’m a huge Bioshock fan, the first game was beyond awesome and I can’t wait for the sequel and this line of figures from Neca. Finally, a Big Daddy figure that doesn’t require paying a huge premium for!

Neca showed off 6 prototypes, Splicer, Little Sister, Big Sister, original Big Daddy from Bioshock, and 2 different versions of Big Daddy, with Rosie or Bouncer.

These figures should be released together with next year’s Bioshock 2 game and would most likely be priced somewhere along the $15 to $20 range.
