Some Of The Best Star Wars Cosplay From The Past Five Years

Over the last five years, Beat Down Boogie has been all over the country filming cosplayers at sci-fi shows and nerd conventions. And wherever there were cosplayers, there were Star Wars cosplayers. This video catalogues the best of them. I love the mix! Yes, there is film-quality cosplay on show, but there are also a…

The King And Queen Of The Warcraft Prom

Narga (who we’ve showcased here before) and her partner Aoki cosplay together under the banner Lifestream. And what better couple to cosplay as than Warcraft’s Alexstrasza and Krasus. There’s a little too much work being done after the fact here on some of the shots, but that doesn’t take anything away from the quality of…

Mortal Kombat Cosplay Is Ripping Out Hearts

Nice League Cosplay

There’s a lot of good League of Legends cosplay out there, but Kenny Chan’s experience with props and armour (and Matt Eleven’s fantastic photos) really set this Garen outfit apart.

We’ve seen the best cosplay stills of 2015, but how about a change of pace? This video by Mineralblu recounts the twelve cons he attended this year, from Comic-Con to PAX South to Katsucon.

There Has Been A Cosplay Awakening

There’s already a ton of great Kylo Ren cosplay out there, but I haven’t seen one go the extra milelike Alhon has The outfit is great, but it’s the location that makes these shots so fantastic; he went outside in a “Minnesota blizzard”, which not only gets him a nice dusty effect on the black…

My Witcher Sense Just Melted Down

Corneline’s Priscilla was one of the nicest surprises in a year of very strong Witcher 3 cosplay, and that was just when we thought all she was doing was dressing up. Turns out she can sing Priscilla’s song as well (in French), and did so live in Paris earlier this year.

The Best Cosplay Of 2015

2014 was a big year in cosplay. 2015? Even bigger From cons to private photoshoots to kids screwing around with junk and a sewing machine, cosplay has continued to explode in popularity across the globe. And the more people who take up the artform, the more amazing outfits we get. The images below, though, are…

Sci-Fi Link Is Built For Space Battle

Let’s imagine, for a moment, that Nintendo went a little crazy and made a sci-fi Zelda game. The end result could look a lot worse than this cosplay outfit by Ten D. Motomochi Snapped by Chocozumoat the Phoenix Comic Con, it’s actually a converted, Zelda-themed Spartan, with some nice touches like the Triforce of courage…

You’re Killing It, Evie Frye

This is Lady Angelus as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Evie Frye, perhaps the best-dressed video game character of 2015. Making this one of the best pieces of cosplay for 2015, as the work that went into the fine details of Evie’s suit (in this case the Bloofer Lady Outfit from the Victorian Legends DLC) is just…

Full Suit Of Titan Armor Looks Like It Fell Out Of Destiny

Frank Ippolito and his team were asked by Sony to build a contest winner a full set of Titan armour from Destiny. After five weeks of work, they delivered, and then some. Here’s a kinda-gross ad/video that you can skip through to get to the parts where they’re showing the build progress and the suit…

Ciri’s Witcher 3 Sword, Forged In The Real World

Sword performer Alan Padziński doesn’t just fight with Witcher swords. He knows how to make them, too. Padzińskirecently built himself a replica of Ciri’s badass sword from The Witcher 3, and did the entire thing by hand, from forging the blade to carving the runes to the leather grip. It’s 1.3m long, and looks more…

Not Sure If Cosplayer Or Actual Elven King

TheldeaFix—who does an excellent Loki, btw—has transformed himself so thoroughly into Thranduil from The Hobbit that actor Lee Pace would probably look at these photos and get all confused. Photos by Pugoffka-sama and Haji-san

King Of Fighters Cosplay!

Always a pleasure to see someone cosplaying as a KoF character that isn’t Mai Shiranui. Cosplay by Azulette, photo by Peter Muñoz.

Jessica Jones Cosplay Needs A Good Drink/Fight

The Northeast Comic Con went down in Wilmington, Massachussets over the weekend, and reader Eric Joslin was there to take some pics. Jessica Jones is Alias Cosplay, Killgrave is Zirroand Luke Cage is Kurt Bertrand. If anyone knows any of the cosplayers in these shots, get in touch so I can add a credit! Rey…
