Some cosplays know no bounds. A D.Va fan has now built the entire mech from Overwatch – and it looks really good!
When it comes to accurately portraying their favorite characters, cosplayers know no bounds. Neither costs nor efforts are spared to bring a convincing image of the beloved character into reality. This is particularly evident in the Overwatch community through the example of “Gryphon’s Gears”, who has taken things to a new level.
There are many D.Va cosplays, but few dare to recreate the mech in its entirety – yet that is exactly what Gryphon has done. The white and red version of D.Va’s mech is quite impressive and is mostly based on the actual in-game model of Hana Song’s battle gear.
Measuring nearly 7 feet (about 2.1 meters) tall and weighing 22 kg, the mech makes quite an impression. By the way, Gryphon can (and must) completely disappear in the mech to move it. He stands slightly elevated on poles to even be able to move. Generally, though, the mech is quite mobile and can even pull off some dance moves – so it should be good enough for a visit to the disco!
Why Gryphon looks so dissatisfied in the pictures is probably due to his position inside the mech. Because anyone who has to keep their legs bent for hours while moving in a 22 kg “machine” could eventually have their mood spoiled.
But what wouldn’t one do for a convincing cosplay?
What do you think of the mech and this cosplay? A really cool thing or quite uncomfortable and just “nerdy”?
Have you played the new map Blizzard World? It’s now available on the PTR!
