Gipsy Danger Cosplay: Pacific Dream

Posted in: Today's Chili

Here’s cosplayer Nona Neon with her badass Gipsy Danger costume. As you can see Nona adapted the hunky form of Pacific Rim’s lead mecha to suit her body. She made the suit out of EVA foam plus various household objects, including a strainer for the chest piece.

Nona said she based the EVA foam parts on papercraft templates posted by members of the prop maker community The 405th Infantry Division, modifying them as needed. She also made a replica of Gipsy Danger’s chain sword. It took her a total of six months, a lot of trial and error, and about $175 (USD) to finish the costume.

Pacific Rim Cake: Jaeger Baker

Posted in: Today's Chili

This awesome Pacific Rim cake has some super nice detail, and features Gipsy Danger outside the Shatterdome and even the Hong Kong skyline in the background.

This geeky cake was made by The Bunny Baker. The husband and wife team are from the Philippines and have some pretty amazing cakes to their credit. How did they make such a great cake? As they say on their Facebook page, it helps that they thought the movie was freaking awesome. Though I’m betting it has something to do with pastry skills too.

Which part would you eat first? I think I would pop the head off and eat it first, just because you have to act like a Kaiju when confronted with a Jaeger, right?
