Top 10 Cosplay Kids

Cosplaying these days is serious business and when we say business we mean in 2012 the Cosplay industry generated over a $100 million USD. 

Cosplayers like Jessica Nigri now makes a living as a professional Cosplayer by attending Conventions all over the US sharing her expertise and selling merchandise to her fans of all ages. But Jessica still takes a child like attitude to her job about Cosplaying:
"Have FUN. If you aren’t having fun you are not doing it right. Cosplay to me means friendship. It means finding other people who totally dig what you dig and getting along because of the intense amount of likeness between the different groups of people."
Sure Cosplay is not for everyone and there are some that call it demeaning to women or the character if not done right, while others relish in photo opportunities with their favourite hero. But what about the next generation? The little kids who are not just throwing on the cheap (or not so cheap) superhero costume from Target but the kids who's family have helped them to look just as amazing as their old peers. 

That's why we decide to rate our Top Ten Cosplay Kids:


10. 'Link' The Legend of Zelda
Love his accompanying cardboard shield and sword.



The only thing missing from this little Miss of mischief is her Mallet 


8. 'Goku' Drangon Ball Z
He doesn't look happy! We're guessing the next pic would have been as a Super Saiyan


7. 'TinTin'
Sure it's a simple outfit but it's the attention to detail with
the Magnifying glass and Snowy in the Backpack.


Tis a little creepy but the detail that's gone into this costume is amazing.


5. 'Chun-Li'
How super cute is this little one but we bet her front split kick isn't.


Love the attitude and matching hand chainsaw but where's the Boom Stick?


3. 'Wolverine'
This kids rockin' it with his 'What's up Bub' attitude 


There's some series time gone into this outfit with the battle damage and Pulsar Beams



And our No.1 pick for the Whatcha Top Ten Cosplay Kids goes to the amazing

'Voltron' Lion Edition
Go Voltron Force! This costume is rad with the mobility in the
knees and elbow to the light up eyes.



Now you may have seen some of these before and other not at all but in our books we think they are those who created the costumes are winners. With SDCC around the corner who knows what awesome Cosplay characters we'll see from both the old and young.

"Cosplay short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea from a work of fiction and often interact to create a subculture centred on role play."
