The Best of Anime 2012: Cosplayers Galore

The cosplayers of the Best of Anime 2012 filled the room with much excitement! The costumes ranged from the simple school girl uniform to the complicated mecha.

The Best of Anime stage.  My first booth stop was the Gundam Philippines Model Kits Caravan for my round of Gundam building and detailing ! Come to think of it, this is my second Gundam for 2012.
