For once, I’m going to try and remain relatively wordless for Wednesday and let the Cosplay pictures from the Perth Oz Comic-Con event at the weekend do the talking.
But first… I love a good mystery…
These mystery boxes for $50 sold out rather quickly. Any idea what was inside?
COSPLAY | OZ COMIC-CON PERTH 2016
COSPLAY… CAPTION ME?
Variable… what a bunny?!
The complexity of the mechanisms that drive Variable’s bunny ears (in the video above) are mind blowing but as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I’m trying to remain wordless this Wednesday, so will have to leave you guessing as to how they were created and how they actually work. Care to guess?
Any Cosplay questions? Just ask!
So much work goes into the Cosplay costumes. I honestly had no idea. You can read more about how I popped my Oz Comic-Con cherry and unleashed my inner geek at the Perth event HERE, including my ambitions at taking on Cosplay next year with a Mystery Case character.
WORTH CASING WEDNESDAY
If you have a blog post (or three) worth casing this week, this is the place to link up. Don’t link and run. Take the time to leave a comment and let me know what you’ve been up to this week as well as visit some of the other fab bloggers linking up this week.
What have you been up to this week? Are you a fan of Cosplay?
That is so cool! Looks like you had a great time!
It certainly was an interesting eye opener. Not sure the entire event is for me but completely fascinated by the Cosplay element.
Looks like an amazing event. Did you dress up??
Not this year but I’m not saying ‘no’ for next year. Watch this space. LOL
My daughter likes to go to these things. I never understood why people would want to dress up like cartoon characters, but she has fun. Thanks for hosting. Have a terrific week.
I never really understood why either but it is a real sub-culture.
I’m not really into the whole thing but I’ve heard from many people that it’s actually a pretty cool event- would be interested in going to one sometime just to check it out. Looks like everyone is having fun and that’s the main thing!
It was a pretty cool event, well the cosplay side of things (for me). Not so much the rest of it.
Oh how I love Oz Comic-Con! How much fun is it?!! And yes, you do feel left out if you attend without a costume. I had better think on one before I head to Melbourne’s event. Great shots!
So much fun. I didn’t actually feel left out without the costume, there were a lot that didn’t dress up but yes, it would have been a whole lot more interesting had I dressed up.
Who doesn’t love a good dress up party! I guess this is similar …
You just might be right.
That looks pretty cool! My girls would go crazy for all that Star Wars stuff.
A lot of it went over my head. I might need to start watching TV again.
Out of my league for sure but I can see why many would find it great. Cheers, Denyse
Me too. Didn’t mean I didn’t still have a lot of fun. I really like trying new things that are out of my comfort zone. You never know where it might lead.
Looks like loads of fun. Is the stuff on the ground from someone Cosplaying Future Biff from Back To The Future 2??
Stuff on the ground was, as far as I could tell, extras from Coma White who is pictured above with her iPhone that makes part of her costume. I did try to break through the fans to ask but there just wasn’t an opportunity.
Looks like the mystery boxes are Minecraft related? (My son is obsessed with Minecraft – he will definitely want one when we go on the weekend. ps still waiting on prize code lol). Love your photos!

Don’t worry, I just got the email with code for the tickets. Thanks!! 🙂
I have no idea with the mystery boxes. I went back to purchase one after lunch and they were gone. All gone.
Glad to hear your code arrived. Tag me in on any Instagram shares and have a great time!
My kids would have loved these characters, little to old now!! Great costumes!!
Thanks for hosting! Hope you have a great week!
Never too old. This event is definitely for all ages. A bit like lego in our house, you are never too old.
Wow, they look awesome. So committed.
I have no idea about the mystery boxes?!? Should I?
I was hoping you could tell me… about the mystery boxes. I went back to purchase one after lunch and they had sold out. I’m assuming someone was frantically driving to a warehouse to collect more but I never made it back to find out.
My boys would have the time of their lives there! It look like a heap of fun.
So much fun and such a long day. My eldest went both days. I had the Breast Cancer Care WA charity long lunch or I might have joined her. Mind you, I probably would have needed a costume with a wheelchair and someone to push me around. I’m too old for 2 full days on my feet.
I like the steampunk theme in many of the pictures.
Me too. I would have loved to interview some of the cosplayers but they were in demand both on and off stage.
Wow, some of those costumes are full-on! Must get to a comic-con one day, pref. the Sand Diego one 😉
This was only the half of it. The really full on costumes, it was hard to get near and get a half decent photo for fear of being crushed by fans.
That so super cool. I really want to go, it looks like a great time. Cosplay is something I am starting to get into big time. The art behind he costumes is amazing.
The more I learn, the more I know I’m completely out of my depth. Still it won’t stop me from attempting to dress up next year.
I love cosplay and I really looked at the detail of every photo! I wish we have something like this here. Events like this is usually held in London which is far.
Not sure if there are mini events. Might be something to look into.
So much effort goes into those costumes! Amazing really!
I did a couple of panels and workshops on the Saturday. It really is incredible just how much goes into the costumes.
I’ll admit I had no clue what this was so googled Cosplay! Have I been living under a rock? It looks amazing! Great pics. I learnt something today. Thanks MC x
I have three teen daughters who are all into this and I was still pretty clueless.
