Hey folks. I'll see if I can keep this thread up to date, but for starters, I'll post a video of some of the stuff courtesy of our regional newspaper, the Dominion Post: www.stuff.co.nz/dominionpost/?source=dompost
You'll need to search for the media there.
(To the uninitiated, Armageddon expo, is a sci-fi, gaming and anime convention in New Zealand). I hopefully aim to get some photos of my group (and some others) cosplaying. We had the biggest group at the expo, consisting of many of the characters from the Bleach series. I myself, was Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Smeagi (the boards) was Rangiku Matsumoto, but there were some others not from the boards as well. Our group consisted of 9 people. Lots of fun. Lots of BWAHAHAHAs (Very fun XD).
Top costumes goes to the moving turning Darlek from Dr. Who (was so awesome watching this thing go rolling past you, and not knowing whether it was remote controlled or not. As it turns out, there was someone inside it, walking around and stuff.) And from that video above, you'll see two other highlights, the MASSIVE chick from 5th Element (Blue chick, tenticles etc) she was wearing stilts, and walked around quite easily. And the two little (around) 5 year olds playing Obiwan and Anakin from Star Wars. So CUUUTE! Also, a little cutie, was a tiny Kairi from Kingdom Hearts 1. She was also about 5, and really shy, and whenever she went anywhere, there were choruses of "Awwwwwwwwww".
I had a lot of fun, apart from the cries of pain coming from myself, when I had some people trying to style my hair (Hitsuguya has white spiky hair). I am SO using a wig in future. My hair just doesn't agree with styling XD. Anyways, keep your eyes peeled for more (Hopefully photos)
Further modifications, as more comes to mind. Kudos to the guys doing the Spartans from 300 (they actually won the cosplay event). They just looked awesome. And also to the chick doing Link linked (here at the top of the page
And another modification. The Lemmings were very fun. Very fun indeed XDXD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RQgt_W8KNc&feature=related
Fifth page of a google search XDXD. www.allensplash.com/2008/04/20/armageddon-expo-wellington/ You'll see some of the cosplayers here too.
