Most of them fall into uncanny valley territory for me, but I've seen a few that look alright.

These ones here are still uncanny valley for me, though.

I think you're wrong.

I wonder what kids think of them. I think they are super creepy, but if kids like them, then that's okay, they are the ones these things are made for.

[(Anonymous)]

lolwhut?

[(Anonymous)]

These.... aren't made for children.

[(Anonymous)]

But they are. Those are from Precure live stage shows. You know, Precure, a show for little girls.

Kids aren't the only intended audience. :(

two reactions

[(Anonymous)]

First: Omg what super cute toys!

Second: omg those are people this is creepy as fuck

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you're wrong. Very, very wrong. Sorry.

[rubbertea]

well i suppose i can't agree with you because i am positively creeped out right now

[caerbannog]

Jesus Christ those are creepy. It's a cosplay?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it's a cosplay style called animegao kigurumi (full-body anime costumes). And it is creepy as hell, IMHO.

[(Anonymous)]

I think those "real anime" cosplays are ugly at best. I don't think, say, a 3D statue of an anime character is weird. It's the combination of the feature-less face with cheap shiny Halloween wig. Blegh.

[caecilia]

you're entitled to that opinion

I am scared of any totally face-obscuring masks, so

[(Anonymous)]

oh good I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with a fear of masks

[skippydelicious]

Can they be creepy cute? I guess, like a lot of cosplay stuff and even the Disney performers, a lot will come down to just how the performers play the part.

[forgottenjester]

How?

[(Anonymous)]

The one on the left is one of the less-creepy ones I've seen

I still think the one on the right is fucking creepy

[(Anonymous)]

I think they're kind of cute myself, OP. I'm not sure why that particular style of mask/costume is creepy to so many people.

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't, it is just group hysteria and bandwagon jumping. You ever notice how if you get one kid in a class that is scared of something then pretty soon all the other kids are scared of it too even if they weren't before? Same thing in fandom. In this case it was the "lets pile on the weeaboos" bandwagon during the anime explosion. Most people have no problem with that sort of costume performance at Disneyworld, or in parades, or in mascots for football games, but mix it with anime and the result is hysteria and people lining up to say how creeped out they are.

[nightscale]

They don't creep me out so much in pictures, I do find them odd though, seeing people dressed like this in person however was creepy.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't say I agree with you.

[laila]

I'm indifferent to them, but one thing I recall about it is that they are REALLY expensive.

eta: Yup, around US$175 to US$500 for a blank one, apparently.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like one for myself as well. Just to creep people out who're not used to the idea haha!
