Dale, Tim Sheehy, and I are here at Anime Expo in Los Angeles. Here at America's largest anime convention, with well over 30,000 people attending, there are plenty of opportunities for some amazing cosplay -- and it doesn't hurt to have Ace0fClub5, one of our community members, taking his professional-grade photography (as he has done in the past).
So what we've got here for you is a teaser of some of the cosplay photos that we've got over on Japanator, with plenty more to come over the next three days. Seeing these Street Fighter cosplayers together (they planned it out as a group, naturally) was really impressive -- there's a lot of attention to detail there that really comes out in these photos. Sirs, I applaud you.
It's a little early to tell which cosplay is going to be overplayed at the con, but right now it's looking like Pyramid Head is itching to be the overplayed costume of the year -- although people are still being inventive with the outfit, so who knows. Anyways, enjoy even more photos over on Japanator!

Thankfully these look fantastic. Pyramid Head and Dhalsim are going to haunt my nightmares for many nights to come.
Pyramid Head is very good as well :)
Agreed. Especially if the costume is PRECISELY recreating bra to boobs proportion.

This gun looks like its made with a program that generate paper-cutout form from 3d models. Which would in fact, be a reasonable way to go. Going with more difficult materials with something that can't be taken from real life would mean LOTS of time wasted.
Dhalism was pretty intense in person. BTW, it was a young man
