So first and foremost, PACIFIC RIM  WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE.  I wasn’t expecting to like it, but I left the theater elated and thoroughly entertained.  And like anything with a following, cosplay happens!  Here are some of our favorites:

This is my friend Lady Sheppard in her rule 63 Hannibelle Chau costume based on a piece of art by Tess Fowler.  The Kaiju head is a prop from Crabcat Industries.  The photo is by York-In-A-Box.

These folks are the amazing Aim Cosplay, and there is video of their group, too!

This is Lady Gypsy Danger by Nona Neon.  Holy.  Crap.

This is Stella Chuu and her AMAZING Mako Mori cosplay.

And then these amazing drift compatible guys from Wizard World Sacramento’s costume contest.

These two Cherno Alpha pilots Sasha and Aleksis Kaidonovsky!!
