This is probably the best Metal Gear themed cosplay I've ever seen. If you guys played the first Metal Gear Solid back in the day, or the Gamecube remake, you'll recognize this ninja as Grey Fox. The highly memorable cyber ninja is captured in full by this professional Japanese cosplayer known as OMI. Anyone notice that all the best Metal Gear ninja cosplays are pulled off by females? Plenty of pics of her awesome suit after the jump!
These are retro Cosplays that range from Worldcon to WonderCon from the 1970’ to the 1980’s. Cosplays have been around as long as there have been fans. It appears that people have been dressing themselves up in science fiction and fantasy costumes for a long time.
A Star Trek convention in the 70s. Yes, that’s George Takei judging.
Dark Phoenix looking particularly sullen. WorldCon, 80s.
Orion slave girl with some nerd at a Star Trek con in the 70s.
More 70s Star Trek. Lots of Vulcans!
Red Sonja! This particular Sonja is Wendy Pini, who would go on to illustrate the classic ElfQuest.
Elric of Melnibone and his consort Cymoril. WorldCon, 70s.
Rollerball cosplayers, late 70s.
Ming the Merciless and Maleficent. WorldCon, 70s.
Comic book and movie characters weren’t the only cosplay subjects — here you can see a woman dressed as National Lampoon’s comic strip character “Danger Rangerette”. 70s.
Several Red Sonjas and a lucky wizard. WorldCon, 70s.
Lastly, a classic — Doctor Who, K-9, and Leela. WorldCon, 70s. Source: fanboy Post Title → Retro Cosplay
WonderCon is an annual comic book, science fiction, and motion picture convention, held in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1987.
San Francisco’s WonderCon is known to many as the little brother convention to San Diego’s massive Comic-Con. I remember a few years ago being surprised at just how few people dressed up for the Bay-area con. But in recent years, WonderCon has been growing in size and more and more attendees have begun dressing up as their favorite comic book, sci-fi, horror, video game and anime characters. A bunch of cute women doing cosplay at this year's WonderCon after the jump.
