Macross Cosplay

I think I like them better when it is all Asian chicks. The Frontier character designs for the most part lack testosterone. Unless you got a pretty boy with an eating disorder, a dude just looks wrong as Froniter character.

So, is this an admission that you do like the character designs?

IMO, the following woud look better if the cosplayer is male:

  • Captain Wilder- he looks like a dirty old man, a la Global.
  • President Howard Glass - see above...but a notch less dirty looking
  • Canaria - she just seems a bit masculine to me
  • Bobby - well, his whole persona is a drag queen, right? Definitely would work better if cosplayer is male. The irony.

Hi!

Recently we attended the 2008 MW Convention in Long Beach, CA.

My daughter and son named Miriya and Max (yes, we really did name them that :p ) cosplayed as Ranka Lee and Michael Blanc.

They are ages 7 and 6 respectively... they had a blast debuting their characters!

We did not plan to cosplay, but the Frontier characters are so lovable, and the kids wanted to so bad...so with 3 days before the con, I gave it a shot and put something together really quick. Miriya's Ranka costume was fairly easy. I already had the green wig from when I cosplayed as Miriya (in her Meltrandi purple suit) for AX a few years back. I just cut it up best I could (I do NOT cut hair well! haha!). And I just added turquoise triangle patterns with fabric paint and red rhinestones to Miriya's yellow dress. Scarf and boots to finish it off and I was done in 2 days of prep.

Max's Michael Blanc cosplay was even easier. It's basically his school uniform he already wears (I know it's not the same lighter blue, but we were thinking cost-effectiveness and time by using existing clothes). Then my husband just freehanded some acrylic paint to create the school emblem on the pocket and the blue shoulder stripes. The tie I decorated with a gold/yellow ribbon to make the X. Ironically... just like the Max Jenius he was named after, my boy Max wears glasses (blue trimmed) and so does the new ace pilot, Michael from Frontier. He loves it!

They are adorable and you are truly blessed. I just hope that my kids (daughter 5 1/2 and son 2 1/2) grow up to be fond of Macross as yours. Any tips?

Props for naming your kids after miyra and max but try living with a bad tattoo of the flight school insignia from mac f and having your coworkers flame you for it everday, I got a quote for $200-$300 just to fix it

Those 2 are ADORABLE and seemed to be having almost as much fun as I was having! I'm glad that I got a video of Miria (possible SP error please let me know big guy) singing.....she was AWESOME!!! Next year I will dress up too.
