The Best Of Blerdcon 2019, A Celebration Of Black Cosplay

Once again, Blerdcon went down earlier this month in DC, and once again, the cosplay was absolutely incredible. Wondering what “Blerd” means, or why there’d be a “Blerdcon”?

Survival Game Cosplay Won’t Last The Night

Look At This Spider-Man Cosplayer’s Mechanical Eyes

You see a lot of good Spider-Man cosplay, because it’s an easy one to do well. What’s not easy to do is get the character’s newer designs 1:1, since they’ve got fancy moving eyes, but Hong Kong cosplayer Cavin Creations has gone and done just that. What you’re seeing here is an incredible feat of…

Cosplayer’s Giant Rifle Prompts Sheriff’s Warning

A cosplayer taking some photos earlier today at Seacliff State Beach in Monterey Bay got a little more attention than she was expecting, when concerns from other beachgoers and a local news crew prompted a warning from the Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office. Speaking to KRON 4 news, the representative took the opportunity to remind cosplayers…

ColossalCon 2019, aka Cosplay’s Great Pool Party

Once again ColossalCon looks like it was one of the biggest and best cosplay shows on the calendar, continuing its tradition of combining a regular convention with a massive pool party and outdoor nature shots.

Monster Hunter Cosplay Continues To Kick Ass

I had to do a triple take on this piece of Monster Hunter cosplay, first to see that it wasn’t some $600 Japanese statue, then to see it wasn’t some ultra hi-res PC screenshot. The Odogaron armor (with Insect glaive) is a joint effort between two cosplayers, Roodaka (who made most of it) and Romstein(who’s…

The Empire Had A Cocktail Party, No Rebels Allowed

In cosplay circles, just as in cinematic ones, it can sometimes feel like the Rebels have all the fun. So at this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, the Empire decided to have a party of their own, really let their (regulation-length) hair down. The event was called Cocktails Over Coruscant, and was actually the…
