Cosplay Holic

Daughter of Atlantic Federation Vice Foreign Minister George Allster, Flay Allster is a Heliopolis technical college student who is well-known within the colony for her pretty features. She has a general distrust towards Coordinators, going so far as to exaggerate her encounter with a Coordinator to convince others that they are evil. Although she portrayed herself to be nothing more than a carefree and spoiled princess, she is actually fragile, manipulative, and spiteful.

That’s a pretty convincing cosplay by Juliann Ysabel. I’m actually afraid for Kira’s sake. Thanks again to the cosplayer for allowing me to feature this!

There is no way that I am a Gundam expert, and neither is my Chinese language skills all that well, so I’m relying on the comments posted in the video’s page to say that this is a “family” of Gundams: Exia, RX-78, and Z-Plus! Please do correct me if I’m wrong, and feel free to comment on their proper names so I can edit this!

…and am I right to say this was actually a wedding? Oh wow, talk about a unique approach! Thank you so much to Tania for sharing this video with us!

Auel Neider, Sting Oakley, and Stella Loussier make up the three Extended pilots of Earth Alliance’s special forces team, Phantom Pain, under Neo Roanoke’s command. Extended pilots are known to be mentally unstable, but they are also very highly-skilled. When the three of them snuck into the PLANT colony Armory One, they each stole a new Gundam-type mobile suit: Auel took the ZGMF-X31S Abyss while Sting took the ZGMF-X24S Chaos.

All they need is Stella and they would be complete! It’s too bad I only have the low resolution of this picture; it’s quite impressive! Thanks to Lois for sending this!

Friends Graham Aker and Billy Katagiri are two of several antagonists of the series; one is a Union ace pilot and the other is a mobile suit developer respectively. After the death of Professor Ralph Eifman and Howard Mason, Billy uses one of the GN Drives to upgrade Graham’s Flag unit in order to fight the Gundams. Graham battled Setsuna F. Seiei with his GN Flag, but he lost, receiving scars on the right side of his face.

I’m happily surprised to find a cosplay of these two! Billy is one of my favorite characters from Gundam 00! Maybe I will try to look for more of his cosplays now. Thanks again to Remi for sending this in!

When Athrun Zala first met Meer Campbell, she did not hide the fact that she was not Lacus Clyne, despite posing to be her under Gilbert Durandal’s order. Meer knew that Athrun was Lacus’ fiancé and decided to flirt with him, even though Athrun tells her that Lacus would never do any of the things that she does. What she didn’t know was that Athrun was already engaged to Cagalli Yula Athha.

It must be hard to be sought after by two head-strong girls. Then again, since Athrun is holding Pink-chan, does this mean he still loves Lacus when this photo was taken?

I guess it’s even more complicated than a love triangle! Thanks to Emi for sending this!

In the beginning of the 2nd season, Lacus was living with Kira Yamato at Reverend Malchio’s Orphanage in the Marshall Islands. However, the peaceful days came to an abrupt end when a disaster from the new war forced them to move in with their former comrades, Andrew Waltfeld and Murrue Ramius at their shared mansion in Orb. The Coordinators made an attempt on Lacus’ life, but Kira was able to defeat them with the Freedom.

Cute cosplayer and oh-so-many Haros! I love how she colored her eyebrows pink, those blue eyes are really captivating! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to kohta for letting me know the cosplayer is Saya!

A mobile suit pilot for the ZAFT military forces, Lunamaria Hawke attended the ZAFT military academy together with her sister Meyrin Hawke and her fellow pilots Shinn Asuka and Rey Za Burrel. She pilots a red ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior, but is later given Impulse when Shinn received Destiny. She was initially attracted to Athrun Zala, but after his apparent death along with her sister Meyrin, she began a relationship with Shinn.

Cosplayer Marimo makes an excellent Lunamaria! I love the subtle details of this costume, especially her wig! Thanks again to Rei for sending this in!

An artificially enhanced Newtype, Elpeo Puru first appears in the series fighting for Neo-Zeon under Glemy Toto. After encountering ZZ Gundam’s Newtype pilot Judau Ashta, she becomes obsessed with him; a possible side effect of the cyber-enhancement process. She pilots the AMX-004-2 Qubeley Mk II.

Cute cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! I think she might be the same girl as the first Elpeo, don’t you? Thanks again to Michelle for sending this!

You can probably tell that's Nagato Yuki from The Menlancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi giving a notice to the Gundam; but that’s just the thing: I have no idea what Gundam model and make that is! And those “03” markings make me think it’s an Eva Unit more than a Gundam.

So I shall be leaving this in the Unknown section while I quietly sit down and wait for my readers to let me know from which series that Gundam is from… please? While I try to figure out how to title this blog entry properly seeing we have a crossover between two series. A very cute one at that. Thanks to again to Miriam for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for identifying the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II from the Zeta series!
