Watch your socks, this Samus cosplay will knock them off

Cosplay is a double-edged sword. There's the scary edge, of course, with some less than savvy design work and implementation (if you care to put it so kindly). Then there's the awesome side, the side where we see things like this. Add this blog post to the second category. Frankly, this Samus Aran costume is about as awesome as it gets. We mean that in the true sense of awesome too, as in "to inspire awe." Seriously, if you look at some of these pictures, you'd think they were screenshots from a new Metroid game.

The costume was made by Thaís Jussim, a Brazillian cosplayer who goes by the alias Yuki. She's created plenty of costumes -- which can be viewed at her website -- but this one takes the cake. It weighs about 23 pounds and contains 73 LEDs. Add a Nerf blaster into the arm cannon and it would be perfect.

Isn't she a little hot to be into cosplay?

Never underestimate someone's desire for attention.

lasersanchez @ Mar 12th 2009 2:06PM

Also she's Brazilian and I have this theory that Brazilian chicks are at least this hot.

This beats that one Samus outfit done by...wasn't it a Swedish girl who made a Samus outfit and it was featured before?

I think the Aria Suit that Yuki made is more accurate than Pixelninja's, but Pixelninja in the Zero Suit just about blows every other cosplay in the world away (so damn hot).

Yuki's Orochimaru, from what I can see on her site's main banner, is really good, though. :)

Your thinking of Jenni. Her site is www.pixelninja.se

Can we see some Zero Suit Samus plz?

Pvt. Joker @ Mar 12th 2009 3:56PM

is it just me? or is this one of the rare cases where nerdism takes away some of her hot points? i mean, she looks like she'd otherwise be a 7 this drags her down to a 5.5....it's probably just me.

It's not my socks I'm worried about.

Secre @ Mar 12th 2009 10:34PM

I agree. I think I just developed a Samus cosplay fetish.

BobTheElephant @ Mar 12th 2009 7:23PM

That's very well done, I'm impressed.

lay in a course for a full-blown nerd-gasm...ENGAGE!

Boo!? @ Mar 13th 2009 12:02AM

Go Brazil!

Everything is perfect. I loved the pic that shows a helmet close-up...

I wonder how well can she move inside this suit though...

vinbusa91 @ Mar 13th 2009 12:32AM

sick

vinbusa91 @ Mar 13th 2009 12:37AM

ignore this comment

vinbusa91 @ Mar 13th 2009 12:35AM

I wonder what she will look like in a zero suit

xKnight @ Mar 13th 2009 1:53PM

Proud to be brazilian... She's really hot!

February 20th; way to catch up.

... dah, FINE, any effort to bring such attention-to-detail and attention-to-quality work attached to a similarly well-crafted female form is admirable.

I hope that everyone who flips out over a PICTURE of a GIRL on the INTERNET remembers everything that they have ever said when they have daughters.

You could also try not to be a complete pig right now....oh, forget it. She wants you to think about how darn pretty she is. We all win. Men get to be disgusting, and women get to feel pretty. Huzzah!

Drahken @ Mar 24th 2009 4:28AM

Holy bajeepers. That is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
