Because there are fewer things more American than a man dressed as Captain America urging a disillusioned populace to go place a vote for the candidate they hate the least. This is Sikhtoons’ Vishavjit Singh—who we’ve featured before on the site—using both his political drive and cosplay skills to remind/convince folks attending the New York…
Welcome to the point where video games meet reality. Red Rock Cosplay have set the bar pretty high here, because holy shit this Jim Raynor getup is some of the most incredible cosplay I have ever seen. What you can’t see here without a full-length documentary covering every small detail is how much, well, detail…
The crew at Spiral Cats are some of the best cosplayers on the planet. Especially when it comes to Overwatch Tasha, one of the members of the group, has already cosplayed as Tracerand Mercy. It’s now time for some Genji crossplay That armour is incredible. As is the detail on the accessories like the sword.…

Cosplayer Leon Chiro has a slight twist on Leon Kennedy cosplay, going for his appearance in next year’s animated Resident Evil movie, Vendetta. Though I guess that’s also very similar to how he looked in Resident Evil 6
The mech. The mech is the cosplay here. There’s someone inside it. Let’s be real, most D.Va cosplay you see involves people buying the same bodysuit online. Daniel Ramos and his wife put in work on this, though, building D.Va’s entire mech as an outfit so Daniel could wear it to the New York Comic…
Here’s Lyumos as The Witcher 3’s Keira Metz, with one of the most elaborate cosplays from the game I’ve seen yet. And I’ve seen a lot I mean, the shot above lets you see how much work had to go into it, but some of the detail shots below show you just how much work.…

3D company Sketchfab were at the New York Comic Con. Instead of taking photos, they were taking full-body scans of cosplayers, which is very cool if any of them ever want to be video game characters or action figures. Here are some more examples (press the play icon to load, then drag your mouse around…
Last week we held the first ever Kotaku + io9 Cosplay Ball in New York. It was great. Loads of cool people, loads of amazing outfits. Here are some photos to make you wish you were there (unless you were there, in which case, thanks for coming!). If you recognise anyone (or were anyone) in…
Whether it was at our party or at the show itself, this year’s Comic-Con had some absolutely fantastic cosplay on show. Here are some of the highlights. I’ve got as many credits as I can for these, but if you see someone (or are someone!) who’s missing let me know and I can add it…
Hey look, it’s the guy from Hotline Miami! Great outfit, huh? But what probably actually drew your eye in the above shot is another awesome, massive Reinhardt outfit, which stole the show at our recent io9/Kotaku Cosplay Ball. Not that there wasn’t other terrific Overwatch cosplay, because of course there was. We had a Zarya…
Eylerwainis a cosplayer from Belarus who has put together fantastic outfits for Dragon Age, StarCraft and Skyrim
There’s a lot of Disney cosplay going around, as you’d expect, but Hercules doesn’t get much love. Oh, except from CosplaySymphonyhere, with this amazing Megara. Photo by EosAndy

Some very cool crossplay here by Rinrin from China. Note that the tattoo isn’t real, it’s just drawn/painted on to match the design of Hanzo’s from the game. You can see more of Rinrin’s cosplay at her Weibo page. Photos by Flow Vision
Since Smash Bros.’ roster is drawn from other games, you might have thought it was impossible to cosplay as something genuinely, 100% Smash Bros. But that would be overlooking the humble Party Ball toddallthetime made this for GaymerX, and it is just too perfect.

Kona Cosplay was doing her thing at DragonCon the other week, filming this nice video with AKIOBOY, when she was suddenly interrupted. By her boyfriend. Cosplaying as himself, he dropped to one knee and proposed right there, to a woman dressed as Nidalee from League of Legends Kona said yes. Congratulations guys! If you want…
