Cosplayers from around the world strive for perfection when it comes to the exact replication of their favorite pop culture characters.

One man has taken cosplay to an extraordinary level with this incredible fully functional Raiden armor from Metal Gear Rising…
This dedicated cosplayer, Andrew, has a Youtube Channel where he shares cosplay and fitness tutorial videos. He even authors a cosplay, fitness, Japanese culture blog.

Another popular internet cosplay sensation, Lia aka @sssniperwolf, has cosplayed “Quiet” from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Lia also has a Youtube Channel in addition to a clothing line, and has earned a huge fan base.
Remember Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater? Well so does Omi Gibson, the cosplayer who has some incredible images as The Boss from MGS3.
With so many amazing characters to choose from in the series, it’s great to see all this cosplay bringing them to life. Cosplay certainly adds another dimension to what can be reimagined with each character, and the results are certainly impressive.
What characters are you most looking forward to seeing in the upcoming installment? Who would you cosplay if you could choose any character?
