The designer includes a photo of the cosplay alongside a photo of Kojima, showing the striking resemblance between the two.
The user shares another photo of the Fragile cosplay and explains how they altered a random jacket to match the character, painted the logos by hand, and made other modifications.
“[I]t’s not perfect but I hope you guys like it,” they write. The cosplayer also explains that the shoulder spikes don’t puff out due to technological limitations, while also mentioning that they’re wearing blue shorts under the pants.

“I appreciate the joke, but I’m not exactly a model,” the designer responds.
