Boba and Co.

Boba Fett and his minions (including that eerie anime character in the background - anybody know who he is?) patrol the streets of Chinatown:



It's Cosplay time in Singapore, thanks to the recently-held Singapore Toy and Comic Convention. Snake Eyes at the back is wielding an almost-authentic (save for the dull edge) Japanese Katana, and he and his 10th Mountain Division comrade have somehow managed to openly carry realistic guns, despite the government ban on these toys. The Battlestar Galactica dude, on the other hand, packs a battery-operated speaker system inside his suit, which makes him sound like a walking Knight Rider car. And though Boba Fett's jetpack may not be real, those painstakingly-painted "paint chips" on his equipment sure makes it look so.

These guys are just as hardcore role-players as the Elvis impersonators.



Same same but different :)

I've never seen Elvis in Cosplay events. Probably because kids nowadays have never heard of Elvis anyway :-)
