EOY Cosplay 2007 @ Expo
This year’s end-of-year cosplay event was once again held at the Singapore Expo. I dropped by for a bit to take some photos.
Pictured above is the best cosplay of the whole event, according to me. Rei does exist in real-life.
I arrived at the Expo quite late and didn’t stay for very long, but I still had to pay the $12 entrance fee. I really should have applied for the media pass, but I wasn’t sure if I was going and also I’m lazy.
I did get even by paying them with a $5 Brunei note which is actually legal tender in Singapore due to the fixed one-one exchange rate, but the plan backfired on me because I had to wait while they confirm the validity of the note.
Costumes I liked
First picture of the day
How long did it take?
Nice ass. o_o
Gives off the right vibes
Best costume if not for Rei
It’s really Rei
Random stuff
Who’s that lurking at the back?
It’s Bj0rn the worm!
Backlash is a bitch
“In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!”
I want one :(
Dangerous bunch
The real GN-004
“I thought you were supposed to be Mikuru?” “No, you!”
Too many
Maybe next year some kind-hearted person will give me a media pass. *hint hint*
You can see the rest of my pictures in my gallery as usual. I didn’t take a lot of pictures because I was there for less than two hours.
I’m using Canon EOS 400D with a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens. As you can see from some of the Dynames cosplay pictures (taken with the internal flash), I really need a Speedlite.

What the… When was the EOY cosplay event held? I can’t believe I missed it…
December 16th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
Uh… Yesterday.

OMG IT’S REALLY REI!!! IN REAL LIFE!!! *HYPERVENTILATES*
Anyway, this year’s EOY standard seems to have improved from last year’s, or so I heard. I wouldn’t really know since I was not present at EOY 2006.
Nevertheless, nice photos.
And I just realised I was in the background of a photo. LOL

That Dynames is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. What is that made of? Cardboard? Jesus!
December 16th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
I wanted to go!! *sulks* But in the end I didn’t manage to be there due to a series of unfortunate events…
Oh well, the pictures look good. I’m particularly impressed by Dynames and Link’s ears. The Ouran couple would be very Moe, if Mori didn’t look like someone I know…. -__-

D: is Singapore so racist with our banknotes? Though it would kinda explain it if you used the old paper edition.
December 16th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
how do you keep track on these events? I always wanted to go but never know when they are organised….
December 16th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
the gundam guy did a damn great job though. I could have sworn he was a extra large figurine if i didn’t know otherwise…
December 16th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
Weren’t there 2 Rei at Cosfest earlier this July? But this Rei sure looks very, very vulnerable. <3
Got to agree that the Gundam suit kicked ass!

Azu: It was a new plastic note. It’s not really racist, just that most people have never seen it before and are afraid of getting cheated. This makes it less convenient to use and thus less used, creating a vicious cycle.
nutcase23: I don’t really keep track of them. Usually someone reminds me.
December 16th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Yeah, Gundam Dynames seems to be the slickest one there.
And LOL at the Kona-clones. If they had actually got their little sisters to cosplay as many many Konatas….total Konarmy ^^
December 16th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
I was there the whole day. Got over 200+ photos. Yeah and a whole chunk of Dynames’.
Maybe I will dress as Tieria next year.
Btw Darky did you cosplay?
December 16th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
Hah. Someone had to pay $12 dollars this year.
December 16th, 2007 at 7:20 pm
HAHA I DIDN”T GO BUT GOT A FREE ZEN!
December 16th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
wish I had someone to remind me…
December 16th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
Whoa, this Rei really looks good!
I have seen some nice Reis here in Germany too, but she looks very convincing.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
The gundam one was good ^^
December 16th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
And there’s even Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu… That is by far the most hilarious part of this event.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Lol, 2 Haruhi and no Mikuru ! -_-;
And Kona-chan Harem… hum… :3
December 16th, 2007 at 10:50 pm

December 16th, 2007 at 11:15 pm
I was there too. My friend was cosplaying as Vash the stampede though it was not that popular anymore. There were alot of ouran and trinity blood costumes too other than the standard flood of naruto and bleach chara not to forget the group of higurashi charas and rozen maiden, all the persocoms from chobits and the kick ass dynames. Where were you? Was kinda hoping to run into you at the event(which started at 12)
December 17th, 2007 at 1:16 am
Lol…where was that Anti-Odex board situated? Dint see it at all even though I stayed from 11-6 )=
December 17th, 2007 at 1:34 am
Darky did you cosplay?
Btw I took alot of pictures and uploaded them to my blog.
December 17th, 2007 at 3:06 am

Wow, my waifu’s image is being destroyed. Suigintou looks like a man. And the clown who pasted that EFG deserves to die.

How much did you get your Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens for?

S$600.
December 20th, 2007 at 2:04 am
Epic fail guy is epic. I was the one who put that poster up there (maybe), thanks for noticing it.
On another note, how do you get your blog header picture to alternate?
December 24th, 2007 at 7:13 am
Hey you anonymous asshole who said that the Suigintou looks like a man, these type of rude asshole comments should be kept to yourself…Didn’t your parents teach you some manners?
Her costume does need some improvement here and there (skirt is too long and some other things) but that cosplayer doesn’t look like a man at all to me.
And your retarded fanboyish words like “my waifu” lmao… They really indicate you are some fat, brainless otaku fanboy.
You really need to get out your parents’ basement and see some real women instead of fapping to your overly photoshopped models, you fat virgin loser who will never get a real fuck.
