According to a survey by Allied Market Research, the global market for cosplay costumes was estimated to be worth $4.62 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $23 billion by 2030.
Not everyone, though, has to spend a lot to participate.
The "Lowcost Cosplay" Facebook page was launched in 2013 by Bangkok, Thailand's Anucha "Cha" Saengchart. Nearly ten years and 6 million followers later, he is still living up to the name, proving that you can create a hilariously accurate look on a limited budget.
Even though we've already written about Saengchart several times most recently here, here, and here he has produced a number of outstanding outfits since then, so we can't help but highlight them.
