What If Captain America Wasn’t White OR Black…

Captain America is a white guy, right? Most of the time, yes, he is. But what does it say about the character — or more importantly America itself — when someone who doesn’t fit the tradition puts on the uniform? That’s the question asked by Vishavjit Singh — a Sikh — in his short film…

Nice Destiny Gun

As a Titan with a love of Hand Cannons myself, I’m digging this replica built by Bill Doran If you want to try and make one yourself, he’s included blueprints and tips in the description of the video below.

30 Seconds To Badass Titanfall Cosplay

Here’s New Zealand’s own CpCody, turning some hunks of foam into a very convincing pilot outfit from Titanfall.

Stormtrooper Armor Saves Man From Snake Bite

They might have been useless at stopping blasters, but the ol’ Imperial Stormtrooper armour has at least saved Australian Scott Loxley from being bitten by one of the most poisonous snakes in a country full of poisonous snakes. Loxley, who is walking across Australia in his Stormtrooper armour to raise money for charity, says in…

Look, I’m probably a Vaike or two away from making this an all-Fire Emblem cosplayblog. Cosplay by katyuskamoonfox, photo by KrisEz

Make-Up Turns Woman Into Seal, Reindeer, Elvis

Maria Malone-Guerbaa is a human, who through the power of make-up (and some fancy coats) is able to transform herself into a bunch of animals (and celebrities). It’s impressive stuff, especially since her subjects are so diverse. Animals, humans, even cartoon characters, if it’s got a face that’s not Maria’s, she can copy it with…

Genius Stargate Cosplay Is, Well, A Human Stargate

Cosplayer Nyima-chan loses Stargate cosplay points for not dressing as James Spader. And…look, that’s about the only negative I could find about this entire thing, which from the concept to the execution is just terrific Pic below by Szani (via Daily Dot)

The Return Of The World’s Greatest Family Guy Cosplayer

Real Life Peter Griffin, the world’s greatest Peter Griffin cosplayer and impersonator, hit the big time last year. Now he’s back, and we get to meet the man behind the man. This video, shot by BOOM! Big Pants, documents Peter’s (real name: Robert Franzese) visit to the New York Comic Con last year, and we…

Killer Metal Gear Cosplay Is A Straight-Shooter

Rick Boer, King of Metal Gear Cosplay, returns with a new take on the series that leaves his regular Snake gig behind for someone a little fancier. If you think this Revolver Ocelot shoot has been heavily photoshopped, nope. That’s hardcore make-up work, all of it applied by Boer himself. Photos here taken by Nathalie…

Mad Moxxi, In The Flesh

I’ve seen plenty of folks cosplay as Mad Moxxi, but none have pulled it off quite like Mono Abel has in this shoot. I think it’s the pub. More cosplay shoots in pubs, please. Photos by Dzeta&Aiger, make-up by veorteya. You can see more of Mono Abel’s cosplay here, including a killer Fallout 3 outfit

Mass Effect Cosplay So Good You’ll Think It’s From A Movie

If there’s a point you cease cosplaying as a character and start actually becoming them, Jen from Soylent Cosplay is pretty much there with this Liara T’Soni outfit. Well, “outfit” doesn’t really do the whole thing justice, because while the outfit itself is great, it’s the make-up and prosthetic work that steals the show. If…

Nikita Is A Cosplay Star

Laura Salviani, aka Nikita Cosplay, is one of the best cosplayers on the planet (she featuredin our 2014 roundup). We’ve never showcased her entire range of work here on Cosplay, though, so let’s fix that. Her costume work is amazing, but it’s also great when cosplayers cover a whole range of subject matter; rather than…

Pics Of A Couple’s Awesome Sailor Moon Wedding

Michelle Nguyen’s wedding was probably cooler than yours. She tied the knot with her husband recently, and while he dressed in a suit, Michelle and her bridesmaids came decked out in Sailor Moon garb, complete with wands. The guests and ringbearers were also encouraged to get into the theme, with Mamoru trinkets handed out, and…

Someone Built A Replica Of The Weird New Star Wars Lightsaber

Since the internet seems to be getting overthe reveal of Kylo Ren’s weird, three-bladed lightsaber from the Force Awakens trailer, perhaps now is a good time for people to show off that they’ve gone and replicated the thing in real life. Prop maker Makoto Tsai has fashioned this pretty decent remake of the “claymore” lightsaber,…
