Pictured in these photos is Metal Gear Solid cosplay queen Omi Gibson. Kotaku has done, perhaps, six hundred posts on Omi (and maybe two on this costume alone). But that’s because she’s so damn good at what she does. Blame her!
This latest batch of new photos, taken by her frequent collaborator Taka, are close-ups of an outfit the internet has seen before, but yet, the pics are fresh. And damn, they’re also so good. The photos capture the vibe of Metal Gear Solid 4 in a way few cosplay snaps have or can.
