Meet Cosplayer DobiCos in our new Cosplay Village! 

”Hello nerds and geeks and everyone included! I am Dobicos but everyone calls me Dobi, I am a Dutch Cosplayer with a passion for making Cosplays. In 2017 when I was 15 I dipped my toe in the world of Cosplay and now, 5 years later it has become an escalated hobby. Anime, cartoons and games have always been a big influence on me since I was a tiny Dobi and still are. I specialize in the art of making costumes and bringing characters to the real world into detail! My passion and efforts have brought me great prestations such as: Winning Heroes Made In Asia twice, Third place at Dutch Comic Con and amazing collaborations with Sakuraflor being able to do amazing projects for various companies such as: Riotgames, Hoyoverse, Tiny Builds and Amazon Prime. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and inspiring each other with a shared passion! I hope to see you there.” – DobiCos
