You dont’ know the power of Cosplay!!!

Ever had the feeling that there wasn’t a better performer in the world of anime, comics and movies than yourself?  Cause if you feel larger than life, maybe you should consider a shot for the title of International Cosplay Fame! On the post: Look what the “Dark Side” dragged in… We explored how Kotobukiya along with Danny Choo kicked off their Otacool book.

Now role play takes a different turn as Kotobukiya is seeking for the best Cosplayers of the globe to fit them into their very own selection of Otacool 2: Worldwide Cosplayers book. However the show doesn’t end here, if you got what it takes for designing a cool Otacool Mascot Illustration, then the land of Godzilla and Ultraman might reward you with 1,575 yen! Not a bad prize to start off the year, huh?

Check out the info and remember: May the force of Otacool grow strong among you… Good luck!
