Newbie moving to Wellington

By Daddylion. 07/02/12, 07:56 pm

Hello, my name is Ry or Rai-kun (my cosplay alias) and I am a cosplayer from Thailand, however in just a few weeks I will be moving to New Zealand to study at Victoria University of Wellington. I have many cosplay outfits in Thailand, a lot of which I probably will not be able to take with me due to the size of the props, but I hope that I will be able to continue cosplaying while I'm in New Zealand.

I hope that you guys can help me find my way around in Wellington. I have many cosplay outfits i can't bring with me on my first trip but if there's any group cosplays and such, where my costumes might fit into, then i might have my outfits shipped to me later.

Anyway on this first round I intend to just bring my Barnaby Brooks Jr. outfit from Tiger & Bunny. And I might bring my red and blue wig too for Akaito and Kaito cosplay from Vocaloid. Most of my cosplayers however are from Bleach, unfortunately my bleach cosplays comes with zanpakutos, most of which are quite large so i'm not sure if i should bring it or not. I also have a Gintama outfit and a Hibari outfit from Katekyo Hitman Reborn (which I didn't bring because I assume metal tonfas are a no at cons in NZ unlike in Thailand).

I've been cosplaying for 7 months... i will post pics later since it says new members can't post external links for 7 days.

Welcome! We look forward to seeing your costumes :DD

and eeeeeeeeee~ Tiger & Bunny cosplayer xDD
Hope to see you at the Wellington con then!

By Daddylion. 08/02/12, 05:07 am

OMG!!! Yay! Do you have a Bunny already? Can I be your Bunny?... and no, I won't ask for poses like in my avatar if you're uncomfortable hehehe.

It's the only costume that will fit in my luggage this time.

BTW you only have the gallery at DA right? Because i don't think i can post mine there yet since i'm not in new zealand yet.

By Icarus. 08/02/12, 06:24 am

Hahaha I have a Bunny but the more the merrier~ xDD
and I know what you mean, theres never enough suitcase space for more costumes haha

And yep, our CNZ gallery is on dA but of course you're welcomed to post photos in there C:

You can be MY bunny.

It wouldn't make sense.
but I'll make it make sense.

Welcome to CNZ~!

By Daddylion. 08/02/12, 07:20 am

Thanks ai-scully <3 What doesn't make sense?

Icarus thanks... Like i said, i'm not sure about posting since it's a group of NZ cosplays and i'm not there yet. I would like to show you guys my pics though... But i guess i can't post there till i get enough posts in introductions or something right?

By ai-scully. 08/02/12, 07:28 am

Hurr.

/Secretly ships barnabyxkarina. but kotetsuxkarina is canon damnit.

you could always link us to your deviantart account if you have one? It's always nice stalking someones devart profile.

By Daddylion. 08/02/12, 07:45 am

hahaha, right. Well I'm open to pretty much any ship most of the time even if I have my favourites.

I saw a Karina cosplayer at the last event, I was SO bummed out cause I was cosplaying South Korea from Hetalia at the time... If I'd been cosplaying Bunny I could have gotten a photo with her! I've only seen one Karina cosplayer and one Blue Rose cosplayer in thailand so far sad

I would love to be your Bunny, though I'm not very good looking so I hope it won't be too dissapointing.

Actually, I was so busy being bummbed out about Karina I walked into a rope and tripped hahaha. Maybe I should switch to Tiger cosplay. Then it'd be in character when I trip over stuff.

I don't have my Tiger & Bunny photos up on DA yet but my username is HRecycleBin... I'm not allowed to post links yet.

I warn you though... there's a lot of slash cosplays there. Some het pairs too though.

By ai-scully. 08/02/12, 07:51 am

/stalks.
i don't get what you're talking about!
you're pretty!

And I'll be Blue Rose to Overload this year. So if you do come up to auckland for it I'll be sure to get a picture with you!

By kouya. 08/02/12, 08:07 am

sawasdee. I've been to Bangkok,there were many costume and Anime shops :)
I bought Miku bag when i was travelling there lol

I wanna see your Akaito.I thought that caracter is not famous among vocaloid.
sometimes I cosplay as Kaito :)

By Daddylion. 08/02/12, 08:21 am

ai-scully, I'll be in Wellington sad

Don't know what my schedule will be like or if i'll be able to go anywhere. Too bad cause I really want a cosplay session with Karina.

And thanks... I'm a lot chubbier than in the photos. I had good photographers.

Sawadee Ka, nice to mee you kouya. Hehe yes Miku is very popular here. And thank you, my vocaloids are mostly not in full costume, my Akaito is using my own outfits mostly.

I would show you photos of my Akaito, but i can't post links yet so maybe you can search for it? My DA account is HRecycleBin. There's a Vocaloid folder, though I haven't gotten my Kaito cosplay up since there aren't any good photos of that one so i only have the photos up at Cosplay.com. I only have Akaito/Miku photos up on DA.

And yes, i love icecream hehe.

Welcome to CNZ! Very Happy

I'm so jello that you've got tonfas! I know a friend who would die at your feet for them! And because she's also a huge fan of Hibari. Other than that, Gintama! Love that anime so much.

Hope to see more photos of your cosplays! c:

Also, your avatar. = SO COOL. *u *d

I think it's after 3 posts then you should be able to post links and in the rest of the forums C:
And if anything hopefully you'll get lots of photos while you're in the NZ to post up in the gallery :DDD

By slinky. 08/02/12, 10:11 am

Hey. Heyno. Don't even think about getting two Bunnies Icarus, or I'll throw you out on the couch.

But ohmygosh, welcome, it's so exciting to see another T&B cosplayer *A* we had a Karina cosplayer, but I think she sold off her wig after her photoshoot with us c: and I think we have two girls cosplaying Blue Rose this year ^__^ one lives in Welly, so I'm sure if you ask her once she's done, she'd love to get photos with you.

I can't wait to see more of your photos.

welcome to CNZ dude!

By Hannah. 08/02/12, 10:54 am

Welcome~ tiger and bunny fans are always welcome in wellington XD make sure you check out the wellington cosplayers sub-forum, although i'll admit its not very active at the moment..... procrastinaters unite?

By Daddylion. 08/02/12, 12:27 pm

Thank you so much for the warm welcome guys... they said links aren't allowed for 7 days though sad

Don't know if i can post photos yet though I kind of really want to.

Jace-y: Thank you. I loooooooove Hibari, unfortunately I heard that in many countries there are more strict rules concerning metal props than in Thailand so I don't know if i should bring my hibari cosplay. My tonfas are aluminium, since I cosplay Hibari I've been swinging with them so I'm used to the feel of them. I really don't want to get new tonfas sad

I will post photos as soon as i can hopefully. I have so many though, might feel like i'm spamming the forum hahaha.

My DA account is HRecycleBin, i don't have my latest photos up yet but please check it out.

Icarus: Thank you, i hope so too.

slinky: ok ok *steps away* *hugs my own Tiger* And thanks, i hope I get some Blue Rose/Barnaby photos.

kilometres1: thank you.

Hannah: thanks, i will hehe.

Eeeeee Tiger & Bunny *u*

Welcome to New Zealand~ I hope we can come to be friends Very Happy

I'm from Auckland but I like to visit Wellington whenever I can~

As for the seven days/links thing - we've had a few trolls/spambots so we've had to tighten up the rules.
Seven days will pass in a flash and then you can link link link all you want Very Happy

By Daddylion. 09/02/12, 05:19 am

Oh that's why. Thanks for telling me :) Spambots are so annoying!

And yes, going to Wellington, though i know there are cons in Auckland... thing is i'm not sure if i'll be able to travel there.

By Jace-y. 09/02/12, 08:30 am

@Daddylion: I took a look through your DA, Ry! Your KHR: WTH one made me laugh. XD Your other cosplays are cool too! C:

By Daddylion. 09/02/12, 09:43 am

Thank you hahaha. That's me and my little brother. He cosplayed Lambo but he outgrew his outfit already sad

By Pura. 09/02/12, 03:48 pm

welcome to New Zealand! Very Happy

I hope you enjoy it! Very Happy

How long are you staying here? Very Happy

By Daddylion. 09/02/12, 08:00 pm

Thank you... I'm staying for a graduate diploma, but it depends. If I get a scholarship I will get an honors degree and then a master's degree, then i will stay 3 years... but it's kind of expensive so i might only be able to stay for one year sad
