Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Aquaman from Kotobukiya

I also have a slight collection of video game and comic figurines. Adding to my dragon statue collection which hangs above my desk are mostly characters from Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and 2 DC figures. One of which I received a few months ago as it was finally released. This being a statue of Aquaman from the renowned statue making company of Kotobukiya. The company is a Japanese based company who have a varied line of figures from DC, Marvel, Star Wars and Japan only imports. This Aquaman statue is part of the ARTFX+ line which showcases extreme detail and lots of shine. Each figure comes with a base to stand on which is easy considering the feet are marked with magnets. Aquaman also came with his signature Trident and his design is based off how he looked in the first story arc of the Justice League when the New 52 launched.

Below are some shots I took with my phone both far away and close up






The statue also came in a pretty box which I kept cause...it's pretty. Regarding other statues Kotobukiya just revealed a Nightwing statue as part of the same line as this one so you're damn right I'm getting him, possibly at NYCC.
