I'm still sick, so I'm gonna be brief.
Last weekend (5-6.9) was again time for Tracon, Finland's foremost anime-manga-video game-cosplay convention. To me, Tracon is the gathering place for the best cosplay. I especially love the fact that costumes from games, movies and tv-shows are the majority these days. And as always, I was not a stranger to cosplay. Once again Marvel Cosplay Finland was assembled and made their presence known in Tampere.
This year I was the Mandarin from Iron Man 3. Now, I must say: I hate that movie. I hate what they did to one of my favorite old school comic book villains. And no marvel one-shot can save that. That given, the Mandarin looks so cool. Just look at the posters and trailers- he is veritable badass out of hell. So what the hell.
I do not have any making of- pics since my phone decided that living was too much of a hassle. Instead, here's the final product:

Here's also a picture with my friend Hilkka and her amazing Iron Man cosplay. That thing was so awesome, and half the reason why I decided to be the Mandarin. Also pictures from our photoshoot with other Marvel characters:
