BARCELONA—CosFans, a site developed to service adult-themed cosplay stars and their fans, was launched on March 1st and has seen widespread adoption, according to CM Productions, the company behind the venture.
CM is the same company behind BaDoink, BaDoinkVR, VRCosplayX and Cliptopia—Cosfans.com has seen 50 leading cosplay stars join the site already.
Justin Byson, CEO of Cosfans, remarked, “It’s obvious that we are filling a need for the cosplay community, and that really excites us."
Cosfans aims to provide the most authentic experience for the cosplay community, promoting transparency and staying true to the mission statement of providing high-quality content and allowing models to create stronger bonds with fans. Cosfans takes a ‘community-first’ approach, involving models and fans in both the design process and long-term roadmap of the site.
Netherlands-based Amber Sonata, announced as the first Cosfans spokesmodel, cited the brand’s commitment to developing a platform that “ensures models have the best resources and features available” as a key reason behind her decision to join the team.
The launch of Cosfans marks the first step of the company toward meeting its goals of providing content and interaction to the growing adult-oriented cosplay community.
Byson added, “We see a need for a resource that is authentic to the cosplay community. We’re in constant communication with our models and fans to find out more aboutbtheir desires and how we can best serve them."
Cosfans users will enjoy model contests, giveaways and more episodes of the series ‘Cosfans LIVE!’ all lined up for the coming months. The site currently features custom clip features in addition to crowd-funds, where fans are able to contribute toward a model’s projects, typically travel expenses to a conference or materials for a new cosplay.
Models and fans can join Cosfans.com free of charge. Contact the team on Twitter at @CosfansCom.
