AFA 2011 - One Piece Cosplay

There were lots and lots of people cosplaying at the Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2011, but I didn't take that many pictures for a variety of reasons: Fighting with the crowds of guys armed with DSLRs forming a human wall; the overcrowdedness; no idea who the people were cosplaying as; and the cosplayers themselves never held their poses/formations for long anyway. So, the ones I mostly took/tried to take were of characters from my beloved One Piece~ ♡


Kaname ☆ cosplaying as Sanji and Usagi as Nami.
Both Shinsekai versions.
This totally made my day~ ♡


Kaname sure makes a convincing Sanji!
I can't tell whether the goatee's real or a stick on though...
But best One Piece cosplayers of the day hands down!


Shinsekai Nami and Sanji figures for comparison.


Anyway, the first ones I actually saw were this group.
Saw them right when I entered: Zoro, Luffy and Boa Hancock. Her hair is real!


Then spotted a (scrawny) Shinsekai Zoro, Shinsekai Luffy and Mr. 3.
Am awed by Mr 3's hair knot thing...like how he got it to stay in place!
Must be his Doru-Doru powers! :O


Shinsekai Zoro and Shinsekai Luffy found themselves a Shinsekai Sanji.


The group finding the rest of the One Piece cosplayers:
Red-haired Shanks and Jewelry Bonney (long pink hair)!
But for some reason this Shanks has both arms intact...


4/7 of the Shichibukai!
Donquixote Doflamingo, Dracule Mihawk, Bartholomew Kuma and Crocodile!


Perona with a horohoro!
Missing the umbrella and Kumashi though!


Old version Nami, with climatact!


Rozen Maiden dolls! (and two random guys)


Saw them again by the One Piece area, the Sabaody Archipelago background.


And those were all the pictures I took of the cosplayers...Kind of sad I didn't spot any Fairy Tail or Hakuouki cosplayers though, or other Mugiwara pirates like Usopp, Nico Robin and Franky. Would've been nice to see an Ace or Marco too! But really glad to have seen an awesome Sanji and Nami! ♡

One Piece paper bag that Muse was giving away with purchases of over $35.
Actually, I traded a Fairy Tail bag to get this because this was out of stock by the time I went to the store :( So I scoured the event halls for people carrying this who looked like they would be willing to trade ^^ Success! I think I have a hidden skill for spotting One Piece fans and non-One Piece fans :P

The back of the bag. It's really huge!

The Fairy Tail paper bag they were giving out after they ran out of One Piece ones.
...I went back to the store a second time, that's why I have both bags^^

Got the Chopper tote free from the Bandai booth.

Figuarts Zero figures I have at home, before I cut up the boxes and threw them:
Shinsekai versions od Franky, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Brook.
Portgas D. Ace, Marco, Dracule Mihawk, Trafalgar Law.

The 4 new figures I came back with:
Shanks, Marshall D. Teach, Shinsekai Nami and Shinsekai Usopp.

I've since cut up all the boxes, they take up too much space, but the panels are too pretty to throw away!
