Question: My daughter loves anime and wants a vector costume for Comic-Con. Where can I buy a good one?

If by “vector costume” you mean an anime cosplay costume, there are some good ready-to-wear options online. I’d prioritize a costume made specifically for kids, with a clear size chart and enough time for shipping.
Absolutely—if by “Vector” you mean Vector from Despicable Me, there’s a dedicated costume available now:
Despicable Me Adult Vector Costume - $144.99 (Falcons Leather)
It’s listed at about $145, with a poly-cotton/heavy-fleece construction and a reinforced standing collar, so it should look considerably more substantial than a thin Halloween costume.
If you meant a by “vector,” tell me the character’s name (and your daughter’s approximate age/size), and I can find the best options for Comic-Con. For a full-day convention, I’d prioritize —especially since elaborate costumes can get uncomfortable in convention heat.
Question: My daughter loves anime and wants a vector costume for Comic-Con. Where can I buy a good one?
Could you clarify if she's dressing as Vector from Girls' Frontline or a different character (like Vector from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL )? If you let me know her approximate size or when the con is , I can give you better advice on shipping times or custom alternatives
If by “Vector” you mean Vector from Despicable Me (orange tracksuit, goggles, goofy hair), there are a few good options depending on whether you want a ready-made costume or a more cosplay-style build:
Ready-made full costume (easiest): FUN Costumes Adult Vector Despicable Me Costume is a recognizable option with the jacket/pants look.
Budget kids’ option: Despicable Me Vector Costume has versions sized for children and includes the basic Vector outfit pieces.
Higher-detail adult-style costume: Despicable Me Adult Vector Costume is a more structured version if she wants a more “character cosplay” feel.
Mix-and-match approach (often looks better for conventions):
Orange/white track jacket and pants
Oversized square glasses
A slicked-back blond wig
A toy “freeze ray” style prop (check your Comic-Con’s prop rules)
If you’re near NYC, you can also check a costume shop in person. Abracadabra carries anime/costume items and accessories that can help with finishing touches. AbracadabraNYC For custom cosplay supplies or DIY upgrades, Manhattan Wardrobe Supply is a useful resource for materials.
A couple of tips for Comic-Con:
Order early—cosplay sizes can sell out and overseas costume shipping can take weeks.
Check the convention’s prop rules before bringing any large toy weapons or props.
If she’s a kid, prioritize comfort: lightweight glasses, breathable fabric, and shoes she can walk in all day.
If you tell me her age/height and which Comic-Con (NYC, San Diego, etc.), I can narrow it down to the best fit and delivery options.
If she is looking to dress as Vector (the iconic villain with the orange tracksuit and bowl cut from Despicable Me —which is beloved in internet and anime meme culture!), or if she means a specific character from a sci-fi/mecha series with "Vector" in the name (like Shion Uzuki's Vector Industries uniform from Xenosaga ), here is where you can find a good one:[2][3]
Spirit Halloween: They carry an officially licensed Adult Vector Costume which comes complete with the signature bright orange track jacket, matching pants, oversized glasses with an attached nose, and a wig.
Amazon: You can easily find the Despicable Me Vector Tracksuit Costume with fast shipping options, which usually bundles the orange zip-up jacket, pants, glasses, and wig.
Official Universal Studios Store: If you want a higher-quality, everyday wear version of his jacket rather than a cheap costume material, Shop Universal sells an authentic screen-printed Despicable Me Vector Track Jacket.
Just to make sure we've got the exact right look nailed down, which "Vector" is she aiming for—the Despicable Me villain or a different anime/game character? Let me know if you need help finding matching accessories or sizing!
More characters: DokiDoki has a large selection of anime cosplay outfits, including some marked ready-to-ship.
For San Diego Comic-Con specifically, remember that costume props are subject to inspection, and functional/sharp weapons aren't permitted. Oversized costumes can also be restricted in crowded areas.
If you tell me her age/height and which anime or character she likes, I can narrow this down to 3–5 costumes that should fit her.
Despicable Me Adult Vector Costume - $144.99 (Falcons Leather)
It’s listed at about $145 and is made from a heavier poly-cotton/fleece blend, so it should be more substantial than a thin Halloween costume.
For anime cosplay generally, there are also lots of options from stores specializing in anime costumes, including AnimePRPR, which currently lists hundreds of costumes across series such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Oshi no Ko, and others.
If you tell me her age/size and which anime or character she wants to cosplay, I can find a few good Comic-Con options at different price points.
Assuming she means KRISS Vector from the military-aesthetic tactical mobile game and anime series *Girls' Frontline * (or potentially Shion Uzuki from Xenosaga 's Vector Industries), you can find solid options depending on your budget and how fast you need it.[3]

If you tell me her age, height, favorite anime/character, and your budget, I can narrow it down to 3–5 costumes that should fit her well and arrive in time for Comic-Con.
If your daughter is looking to cosplay Vector from the popular tactical-RPG/anime franchise *Girls' Frontline * (where the character is a silver-haired, cool-tempered SMG T-Doll), finding a ready-to-wear costume is definitely doable, though specialty retailers are your best bet.
(Note: If you meant the villain Vector from Despicable Me —which gets mixed up in internet searches a lot—those orange warm-up tracksuits are everywhere, but for the anime character, read on!) [1][2]
Where to look for a good Girls' Frontline Vector costume:
Cosplay Specialty Stores: Dedicated cosplay sites like CosplayFU offer custom-tailored or standard-sized Vector outfits complete with her tactical aesthetic.[1]
AliExpress & eBay: There are multiple independent third-party sewing manufacturers that list Girls' Frontline Vector uniforms. Be sure to check user photo reviews for fabric quality and read the sizing charts carefully (as Asian cosplay sizing often runs small).[1]
Miccostumes or EZCosplay: Keep an eye on these larger, reliable mainstream cosplay retailers. While availability rotates depending on current anime seasons and popularity surges, they frequently stock major tactical and military-style anime characters.
Pro-Tip on Props: Vector's signature look isn't complete without her Kriss Vector submachine gun prop. Most clothing-only listings don't include the firearm, so you may need to source a lightweight foam/plastic cosplay prop separately from specialized prop makers on Etsy or local convention vendors.
If you can let me know which "Vector" she's dressing up as (the tactical anime character from Girls' Frontline or a different series/character altogether), I can give you more targeted store recommendations or help you find the right props
