Cosplay fixer dedicate their Cons to quick-fixing any costume mishaps for cosplayers during the WonderCon weekend.
Imagine: you spend hours meticulously stitching each piece of fabric, gluing on every button or cutting out cardboard for the armor of your cosplay and the second you step into the Anaheim Convention Center, something snaps. Worry not, there are cosplay fixers who can help.
Bryan Mero, dressed as Fixit Felix from Wrecked it Ralph, uses zip ties to repair a bow during WonderCon in Anaheim, CA, on Friday, March 24, 2023. “Working for Disney set me up for the nitty gritty of fixing something quickly,” Bertges said. All three days of the Con he will be there to help and educate people who may benefit from a tip or two.
By the time that’s finished, more cosplayers have already formed a line begging for fixes. Some are simple — regluing some buttons or cutting off the tips of gloves so a cosplayer’s fingers can be exposed. Other times it’s more difficult. “The culture, the people, I love being around it,” Mero said. “And the community really embraced me. Usually people don’t ever want you touching their costumes, but they have a lot of trust coming up to me and asking me to fix things, maybe it’s my dad face.”
