23 Apr – Hilarity ensued at the Panasonic Cosplay Competition that was held during the IPC Movie Fiesta in IPC Shopping Centre last weekend as iconic movie characters showed up to do battle in order to take home the grand prize, which was a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV worth RM1999!
As it turned out, a zombie, or rather, a cosplayer dressed as a zombie lurched home with the grand prize for his realistic makeup, demeanour (he even came barefooted) and skit that saw him chasing down a girl and biting her to death, followed by a menacing look at the crowd (everyone backed off). Meanwhile, the Incredible Hulk took first runner-up, netting the 32" Panasonic Plasma TV worth RM1099, while Batman won a Lumix Camera as the second runner-up prize worth RM999. Others walked home with goodie bags from Panasonic and Cinema Online, who were also the organizers of the cosplay competition. Not everyone joined in the competition, but many turned up in their costumes to share in the fun, with notable characters being Kamen Rider, Hatsune Miku, Jean-Luc Picard from "Star Trek". The highly-anticipated character appearances by the chipmunk trio from "Alvin And The Chipmunks" and Storm Troopers from "Star Wars" did not disappoint as well.
