Boy, NYAF 2010 was even better than last year! I didn't get to check out any panels, but I still had lots of fun!!! I was really the talk of the party there! I think at least a hundred people took my picture! I was very pleased most people called me Ken The Eagle. A few called me Mark though, and one person called me Ace Goodheart. XD But still, people loved my costume so much! Some even said it was the best costume all day! And one person even showed me his tattoo of the Gatchaman symbol! Anyway, I'm also extremely happy, because a local TV station filmed me for one of their station promos, and I got interviewed by somebody from MTV, and I'm going to be on something presented by MTV next week! I need to find out more info though. God, I have every reason to be happy right now! And since I love all of you, you all get to see my Ken The Eagle cosplay pics and my other NYAF pics before everybody else! And last, but not least, pics of me and Corinne "Trixie" Orr!:

So glad you had a great time! The helmet looks great! Be sure to tell us when to watch for you on MTV! What kinds of questions did they ask?

LOL, she was asking me things like where I would take a woman on a first date, and what I look for in a girl. I told them green hair, because Jun's hair is green, and I said hi to Jun as if I really was Ken! Gotta do that for my fellow Eagle x Swan shippers! I was trying to do poses that Ken did in official Gatchaman art in the pics of me that were taken. And some screen cap poses too. And here's some videos I filmed: Taxi Ride: http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/3908/57356168.mp4 Checking out the scene: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5708/49641946.mp4 Meeting Corinne Orr!: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2971/32260855.mp4 Trying to film, but keep getting interrupted by people to take my picture, because my costume is so awesome: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8760/tryingtofilmatnyaf.mp4

I'm glad you had such a good time, Allen! I can see that you had fun in the costume, which is really what cosplay is all about. And yeah, it's a bit annoying when people ask you for your picture when you're in the middle of doing something else, but it's also flattering. The helmet looks fantastic!

Thanks, TJ! I had a blast! Some people there thought I was from Speed Racer. WTF?!

I'm so glad to see that you've had such a great time, Allen! You deserve it! Thanks a lot for sharing your pics, and experience, with us, in the first place! And, WTG for your costume ... it's really awesome, helmet and all! What a tribute to my beloved Eagle! I'm not surprised why so many girls wished to take a photo with you!

Thanks, gatchamarie! Was glad I could make it happen!

Glad you had fun, Allen! It's always good to know that people recognize Ken the Eagle. (I recognize you, FMA's Winry Rockbell here and Wonder Woman, but no one else, I'm ashamed to say.)

There were a couple of Chun Lis from the Capcom fighting games. (She's in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.)

I recognized Wonder Woman, Tuxedo Mask, and a Sailor Scout (not sure which one), but that's all. Allen, glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing your pics.

You're welcome, amethyst! And it's Sailor Mars.

Glad you had a great time Allen, and your costume didn't turn out too bad. Thanks for sharing the photos of your adventures, along with the videos.

Great costume. I really love the helmet!

Haven't seen you here in a while, Katse!

lol, everybody loves my helmet. I'm glad you like it! Thanks, JohngPR!

Excellent! Its a real buzz isnt it when you get your pic taken in costume. My hubby gets mardy at Dragon Con because I always get stopped more than he does! BTW, where did you get the helmet?

Hey, Allen I just came across this... This is you at the end of this blog report, isn't it? http://gamedae.blogspot.com/2010/10/nycc-cosplayers.html

Can't see the face because of the visor and the pose, but it certainly looks like him.

It certainly looks like it could be him. I am not sure how many others would have been dressed as Gatchaman.

Yep ... I think it's really our Allen there!! To my eyes, the costume is the same as his and I'm comparing his pose with the inverted one seen in the first picture of this thread!

Hey, Allen! How long are you going to keep us in suspense?
