These all look absolutely amazing. I'm honestly surprised how faithful they managed to be, not only in costumes but in actor type - they are spot fucking on, the faces, the hair, the postures, body size & type. Awesome job. Aegis's costume is all kinds of amazing.
But Pharos -> Fallos. Fallos. Phallos. Phallic. (translation) Fail. (and yes I know that katakana is difficult to render in romaji for this particular reasons, but I can't stop snickering now)
