We need more cosplay....

[Blackcat]

Interesting, I rarely like cosplay unless its really well done.

Someday I must go to a anime convention, but it kinda scares me.

Sorry to raise a dead topic but I found more creepy pics of SPC cosplay.  This time we are blessed with many primary characters in all of their paper mache glory.

words fail me...


Lookin' good...


Someone is going to prisoner island...


Cat's Eye Slash!...


Polly... what should I say...


The look on Speedy is priceless... as Polly removes her paper mache head...


I applaud their effort, but that isn't going to make the nightmares go away.  So remember fellow Pizza Cats, next time, invest in some fun fur.

Can you say "Too much time on hands?" It is interesting though.

Don't make fun of them unless you can do better.  Those are some dedicated fans.  Making SPC costumes is very difficult because the proportions are all wrong to fit on a real-life human.

But on the second picture, I did notice Guido has his cell phone ready in case any girls call him.

I'm gonna have some bad dreams tonight folks. Let me tell ya.

Also paper maches easy to use, though for ultra spot on costumes I think custom made fiberglass armour and heads would do nicely esppecially.
Its been done with other cosplay costumes, the best Ive seen was a Gundam costume made of customized automotive foam core and steel panels and fiber glass segments from custom made moulds.

To bad for us we dont have the inlisted help of someone who has the qualifications of a high level Hollywood costume and set maker.

....And also remeber kiddies making fiberglass is toxic so make sure to wear those masks.

I'm not trying to make fun of them.  I think its awesome that six people got together and payed homage to SPC, but at the same time the costumes just have a strange look about them.  Imagine being  someone who didn't know anything about the Pizza Cats and seeing those crazy characters in paper mache outfits for the first time.  Its just weird to see the Pizza Cats repesented as a physical existance when they were made to be in a fantasy setting.

here in the uk we don't have 'cons' i hope i'm right in meaning con = convention. but i would probably make a suit if they did lol.

but i have no idea what character i'd be in the slightest.

i've been thinking about how you'd go about it.

when i've done some reasearch i'll let you know.

A good costume takes a lot of time.  What character?  You need to decide that yourself, but I can't think of any that would be easy to do.

[CyberFox]

Like i said, Thanks to Shonen Jump and lack of interest of SPC
You never see any cosplay of the SPC characters in anime conventions any more
It's sad and It's pitifully true

[Violet]

There's probably been a lot of people who wanted to make SPC/KNT costumes, especially back when the show was in it's prime in the 90s, but the way the characters are designed makes it extremely difficult to make a good costume.  I can't think of too many anime characters that would be more difficult.

There are these girls in the pic below.  Although they made cute Yattarou(?) and Omitsu outfits, they don't actually look much like the characters.  A good effort though.

I planned to make a Speedy costume by more of 4 years but I couldn't spare the time (And money for the materials)... May be I'll do it someday but I'm now 27... Since I still freaking Otakus around me this will encourage me... TEYANDEE!!

[NeoMikey]

Ladies and gentlemen, that time of the year has come and gone, and with the passing of another Anime Central, I'd like to present to the Edoropolis members for their approval...Samurai Pizza Cats cosplay!  Headed and mostly constructed by yours truely!  =)

...it's just too bad the helmet mostly blocks my face in this one and only group picture  ^_^;;

[NeoMikey]

Also!  A certain cell phone captured a glimpse of Guido Anchovie attempting to work his magic on a group of j-rockers.  They were happy to see the Pizza Cat...but unfortunately, their non-English language prevented any further of communication.

[Violet]

You guys are hard core fans.

I still think you can do better with the helmets by modifing some old motorcycle helmets, but it's still better than I could ever do.

[KageReneko]

heheheheh...Good for Guido!!!

[NeoMikey]

How YOU doin'?

Yeah, that's right.  I made it.  And it is very awesome.  There are cardboard scraps EVERYWHERE in my room!  I'll give you awaiting SPC brethren pics after the weekend!  Love you guys!  X3

[SteC]

That looks wicked! 

Now the cats can ride on the Catatonic!
