Fancy Pants is Kotaku's weekly showcase of some of the best cosplay in the world from the past seven days. Cosplay is the art of fans dressing up as their favourite characters from the world of video games (and beyond), the best able to not only look the part, but act it as well.

To your right you'll see links to each of our featured galleries, most recent at the top, which are posted fresh every Monday morning between 6am and 7am EST.
