The King (Well…) Of WarCraft Cosplay

Quite literally, since this is King Llane as he appears in the WarCraft movie. Cosplay by LadyAngelus (which technically makes this the Queen of WarCraft cosplay), photo by vaxzone

Meet The Cosplay Repairman

Say you’re at a cosplay convention. You’re walking around the con floor, strutting your stuff, and suddenly…your armour breaks. Or your shoe splits. Or your gauntlet falls off. Who you gonna call? This guy. Jacob LaRocca from Rocket Props has been cosplaying (and building stuff for others) for a few years now. But lately, he’s…

Cosplayer’s Captain America Shield Loaded With Magnets, Actually Works

The Hacksmith, not content with packing a mere visual replica of Captain America’s shield, went 117 extra miles and made his electromagnetic, which means that it can attach/detach from his arm just like it does in the movies. (Note: he didn’t build the shield itself, that came from Machinaprops). Using a set of lithium-polymer batteries,…

Cosplay Photos: There’s More Than Meets The Eye

That’s SKOWALZwith a pretty good Lara Croft, sitting nice and authentic in the jungle and…oh. Photographer Rob Logan shows that it doesn’t matter where the location for a shoot is, so long as it’s framed and cropped properly.

Bloodrayne Cosplay Is Coming For Your Claret

Old games never die. They just fade away…until someone comes back and cosplays as their half-vampire star. That someone in this case isIlona Shvets, from Ukraine, who gives zero fucks that Bloodrayne never made it out of the 00s, paying homage with this killer cosplay shoot (via Cosplay Blog).

An Incredible Collection Of Replica Destiny Weapons

For the last two years, cosplayer and props builder Eric Newgard has been recreating weapons from Destiny. The results are spectacular. From Gjallarhorn to Fatebringer, swords to loot chests, he’s produced (with help from some friends, including Zander Brandt, who we’ve featured here before) weapons that look like something that should be hung on the…

The Only Thing This Ant-Man Cosplay Doesn’t Do Is Shrink

That’s not an insanely detailed Hot Toys figure up there. Nor is it the product of a big-time Hollywood special effects division. This here Ant-Man costume was made by two very talented people. Rick Louis is the guy wearing the Ant-Man get-up in the video above, which was crafted by Eliza Eldredge of the Eldritch…

A Low-Poly Weapon In A High-Poly World

Pixel Titans, the developers of throwback shooter Strafe, commissioned Harrison Krix to build this replica of one of the game’s weapons for them to give to a fan. Below is the actual in-game model for comparison. It’s always great seeing a project like this go from: to: to: There’sa full write-up and way more pics…

The First Order’s TIE Pilots Are Lookin’ Sharp

We get a lot of Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren cosplay around here, but master props builder Shawn Thorsson has turned his eye towards one of the cooler and more obscure designs from Force Awakens: the new TIE pilots. Beginning with 3D models, Thorsson built a few suits from scratch, making everything from the helmets…

Sweet Iron Man Cosplay, Guy Who Is Not Tony Stark

Looks like metal, doesn’t it? Iron Mark Props’ suit is actually painted EVA foam, cut to perfection to give that real nice “fitted” look. We’ve seen some good Iron Man cosplay here before, some of it downright spectacular, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one fit as perfectly as Robert Downey’s CG. If you…

The World Needs More Afro Samurai Cosplay

This is Michael “Knightmage” Wilson as Afro Samurai. The outfit is great, but it’s that cel-shaded make-up that really ties it all together. And, you know, the wig. Photos by Gwendolyn Graham and Black Apple Studios

Can’t They All Be President?

Normally, cosplay involves dressing up as fictional characters, not real people. But this year’s Presidential primaries have been so absurd that I think this now counts. Amazing how a wardrobe change suddenly makes Trump look like a dude you’d wanna party with. As for the other two, your feelings are yours and yours alone. The…

They Are The Worst Video Games Of All Time

As spotted at PAX East in Boston. These guys said they just did the E.T. outfit at New York Comic-Con but decided to double the awfulness for this show.

When You Accidentally Pull Off a Chun-Li Cosplay

It can happen. Just ask Florida-based fitness lover Natascha Encinosa. Back in February, Encinosa uploaded a photo to her Instagram, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. That’s when folks noticed the Chun-Li similarities. The photo quickly went viral, and since then, Encinosa has netted over 190,000 Instagram followers and even caught the attention of Japan’s…

That’s A Lot Of League of Legends Cosplay

A horde of cosplayers took the stage at the League of Legends theater at PAX East in Boston today. Most were dressed as characters from Riot’s mega-hit. Can you name them all? Here are a few more group shots: And some close-ups. Note that not everyone on stay was dressed as someone from League All…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (That’s a great Zelda ReDead from kingofchaos7)

She Cosplays Both The Darkness And The Light

Annie Ragnarek, from Belarus, is a cosplayer with a speciality: dressing up as Jedi/Sith from the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games (and beyond).

Peter Parker This Ain’t

Cosplayer Pierre Demery is looking good here as Miles Morales, aka the new Spider-Man

Some A+ Metroid Cosplay

I’ve seen some good Samus cosplay in my time, but rarely have I ever seen someone actually nail the scale and dimensions of her power suit like Elearia has here. Those shoulders! The ribbing underneath! The light-up visor! Bravo.

Rick Boer as Solid Snake.
