Starting with the establishment of its Facebook group<\/span><\/strong> on January 9, 2013<\/span><\/strong>, it counts over 6500 members at present, being the largest Greek community<\/span><\/strong> about the Power Rangers<\/span><\/strong> series and Japanese Super Sentai <\/span><\/strong>series!<\/p>\n

1) Tell us a few words about Power Rangers\/Super Sentai GR! What do we need to know about you, as a Facebook Group, but also as a Cosplay team? How many and which members does the Cosplay team include? What was your first appearance and first Cosplays?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Power Rangers\/Super Sentai GR<\/span><\/strong> is the first Greek Facebook group around the Power Rangers series, as well as Japanese Super Sentai series. This group may be Greek but everyone is welcome from all over the world, regardless of country of origin. The group was founded in order to offer Greek fans the nostalgia and joy of our childhood. And as the old saying goes. For new ones to learn and old ones to remember. Our team’s Cosplayers’ purpose is to share and give joy and nostalgia to the public, to young and old children. As a Cosplayers team we consist of six people: Lazaros Koriatopoulos, Dimitris Demirtzoglou, Antonia Deligianni, Pavlos Konstantinidis, Konstantinos Karagiannis and Aris Avramidis.<\/p>\n
Our first appearance with Cosplays was in 2015 at Cosplay Korinthos 2015<\/strong><\/a> and at AthensCon 2015<\/strong><\/a>, where we appeared as two people for the first time. Me as a green Ranger and Aris as a red one. While in 2016 and 2017 at AthensCon<\/strong><\/a>, Vintage Toys<\/strong><\/a> and Comicdom Con Athens<\/strong><\/a> our complete team appeared with all characters of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And we also appeared at The Comic Con<\/strong><\/a> in Thessaloniki obviously. I also want to say a big thank you to the following Power Rangers Cosplayers, who attended the events I mentioned along with us. Antonis Koutsouradis, Katerina Koutsouradi, Anatoli Doutsi, Nikos Gaitatzis and Maria Tassoula.<\/p>\n

2) Your team’s theme is the Power Ranger series and consequently the Japanese Super Sentai series. What kind of characters do you choose as your Cosplays? Are those choices based on personal interests, and if so, when did you get in contact with them before the team’s creation?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Anyone can choose to cosplay as any character they want from Power Rangers and Super Sentai series, regardless of season, even if there are two identical characters, we don’t mind. For example Pavlos and Konstantinos both have the same black Ranger uniform. While me, Antonis and Aris all have the uniform of the green Ranger. We all got into Power Rangers at a young age, since the time they were broadcast on Greek television. And then, years later, once the internet was introduced into our lives, we learned even more things.<\/p>\n

3) Which characters do you think were the most popular? Which characters are you thinking about doing in the future?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Of course the first season’s Rangers from 1993 were and still are the most popular. In the future we want to cosplay from other seasons from the Power Rangers series and Super Sentai series too, either from old or new seasons.<\/p>\n

4) How did you acquire your knowledge on creating Cosplays? What do you think about ready-made Cosplays? Are they part of your ensemble as well?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Each of us acquired his knowledge on the creating Cosplays in his own way. You know, by word of mouth, via the internet, by us. Ready-made Cosplays are not a bad thing at all. I personally don’t know how to create Cosplays and buy ready-made costumes. Many people do that and it’s not a shame to buy ready-made Cosplays at all. But others know how to create them by themselves. For some, yes, ready-made Cosplay are part of their ensemble, while for others they aren’t.<\/p>\n
