Just a day at the retirement home

[Stegoceras]

Never tried mini-figure customization, so this was a nice opportunity to give it a go, mainly purist customization cause I'd would probably mess up anything involving any other techniques.

Theme: Dragonball Z

Character: Goku

Cost: A little bit of tape, aka very low

Cosplay at the retirement home, I figured that in 50-70 years most of us would be finding ourselves in just such a home and perhaps we will be forced into cosplay participation. If we do it would probably be something like this. Here we have Jim who is dressed up as his favorite character of his favorite show when he was just a little boy; "Goku" from Dragonball Z, during the annual Cosplay event of the 'Lego city retirement home'. He is joined by his life-long buddies; Mack dressed up as "Darth Vader" and William as "Bruce Lee"

Jim has had enough and goes looking for his wheelchair

Of course I wish everyone best of luck, seen some really good ones out there.

Awesome. I could recognise the featured cosplay was actually Goku (DragonBall Z) without reading your description first. Good job.

[Big Cam]

That's awesome, I love that even in old age his hair stands straight up.

Too many days in the hyperbolic time chamber I guess.

Incredibly funny entry, Stgoceras!

When I proposed the Cosplay theme, I would never have imagined such an application of the concept

All is in line and ready for the voting. Good luck to you too!

Yes! Another DBZ entry aside from mine. Very clever idea of an grandpa cosplaying as Goku. (DBZ geek fact: Saians, like Goku, don't age that quickly like a normal human does. End of geekness). Good luck in the contest!

Excellent use of the beard piece for Goku, and I just love that wheelchair.
