Wow, didn't think you'd think of following up on my request! Thanks a lot Infinity!

You know, I just thought of something.... do you think it would be a good idea if Nintendo ever partnered with some mass-market costume manufacturer (whose products would be found in the likes of Party City) to put out a Samus Halloween costume, among Mario or Zelda-related costumes? At the very least, it'd certainly raise visibility for Metroid!

Gaah! I wish I had the skill and resources to make a suit. I'd be a happy nerd. :awesome:

Inf, that last one is hilarious. The fusion suit is one of my favorite bad ones, though. DEM SNEAKERS.

I'm a big fan of Jenni, she's my favorite Samus cosplayer. Her improved Varia suit made me wet myself.

How could I have forgotten this one?!?!

Oh snap! You're the cosplayer that was just featured in Nintendo Power, weren't you, Zandra?

Say, have you seen Mewtwo's cosplay work around here? She'll probably be your biggest "rival", heh.

I've seen Mewtwo's costumes a while ago. We're both on coscom.
There's no rivalry. I beat the entire world to the Justin Bailey cosplay

I love how the rivalry in metroid cosplay is always from outside haha. Like, people will tell me "You have to beat ___'s costume!" but I've never seen a samus cosplayer who thinks the same way.
And your Justin Bailey is incredible

Much love!
Did you use a clip on ponytail for Zero Suit? I wish I could use my own hair sometimes, but its very short and dark =/

by **Zadra** » 02.27.11 1:11am

Thanks Mewtwo

I do have blonde hair, but it's medium length. I have gotten away with using all my real hair, but the ponytail is usually short (think the first4figures zero suit statue ponytail length if you've seen it) So yeah, the really long ponytail is a clip in.
Fail: It gets tangled every 5 seconds :thumbsdown:

Your young Samus costume is great also. I wasn't a fan of the game, but you got that look dead on. :thumbsup:

That's a pretty darn amazing cosplay, Zadra! Just a small question: Where the heck are you in the first picture? Is that a cave or something?

Oh, and Welcome!

Awesome costumes, hope you didn't get grass stains on your zero suit

Especially loving the Justin Bailey boots, they are amazing!

This reminds me, need to order my GF badges, I have to order a batch of them though (5) so will have spares if anyone wants them for their costumes will post pics when they arrive.

It was supposed to be a "haunted cave" thing for kids, it was set up in comic con. I jumped in right before the con was closing, and couldn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to. I was very upset

by **MaiAriSquee** » 03.01.11 6:32pm

Those boots are swanky, Zandra!

Great jorb!

That gun looks really nice, too.
