Cosplay Feature: Shinrajunkie IS WAKKA!

Back when I first started getting into cosplay, I managed to find some males at the recommendation of the ones I following at the time. One such cosplayer was Shinrajunkie and his pretty much spot on Wakka. From the hair style to the arm guards, Shinra went to no expense in capturing everyone's favorite Blitzball loving guardian. The cosplay as a whole consists of a half top with the upper portion exposed. Suspenders help the bottom area stay as is and go around the back. One arm has a small armguard that has a unique pattern in the middle. The other however, is fully covered with armor. My guess is that's where his armor equipment goes in the actual game. It's definitely colorful also with a combination of blue, yellow and red. Foam was probably used in its construction!

The pants are incredibly baggy with black lines going to and from across them. A dark brown splits the yellow in half right down the middle. Shinrajunkie pretty much found the perfect wig for Wakka, I think it was styled by him but I could be wrong. Wrapped around the orange hair, is a blue bandanna. Sandals round out the remainder of the cosplay as feet protection. Course it wouldn't be a complete Wakka without a blitzball right? The ball itself is designed to mimic the classic look of the ones used in matches. Clear bubbles can be seen around the ball as well.

The wide open field is a fantastic setting for this cosplay and Shinrajunkie nails the poses too. I have to wonder when wearing this cosplay if he tries to mimic John Di'Maggio's voice too! The endearing love I have for Final Fantasy X makes me love this cosplay so so much. Plus I do remember Shinrajunkie having several other friends as other characters for group shots. Tidus and Lulu come to mind. Enjoy the other pictures guys!
