We’ve touched on Colossalcon before. The convention takes place at a resort in Sandusky, Ohio, and that resort includes a water park. We shared Beat Down Boogie’s cosplay video from the gathering last year, and they’re back this summer with a new compliation from the splashy convention. Im sharing this cosplay video because it shows off creativity — so many cosplayers adapt complicated ensembles to fit the confines of a bathing suit — it highlights a different cosplay/convention environment than we’re used to seeing, and the footage showcases a fun and playful side of cosplay.
