Cosplay of the Day: This Spawn Is Almost a Little Too Realistic

Britt Hayes — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:45:50 +0000

Remember the ’90s when we all thought Spawn was so cool? This cosplayer shows us that the hellacious hero still is. The man in the mask is goes by Michael Knightmage Wilson, and the artist responsible for the elaborate airbrush work is Reddit user Jcshaull77, who works for Airtistix Airbrush in Niles, Ohio. According to [...]

GuySpeed Editors — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:00:51 +0000

Cosplay girls are a video game nerd's dream come true. Have trouble talking to women because you spend twelve hours a day trying to beat Fire Emblem: Awakening on lunatic difficulty? Fear no more! You'll surely have a few things in common with these beautiful cosplay girls who dress up as some of video games' most legendary and tantalizing characters.

What most people don't know is cosplayers spend weeks creating costumes from

Cosplay of the Day: The Many Adventures of Princess Leia

Britt Hayes — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:05:30 +0000

Some cosplayer choose just one costume based on their favorite character, but today’s standout gives us not one, not two, butÂ threeÂ different versions of Princess Leia from our beloved ‘Star Wars‘ trilogy. Leia is so cool. She’s cooler than Luke, obviously, but we’d argue she’s even cooler than Han Solo. Han thinks he’s hot stuff (and [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Robin and Batgirl Don't Need Batman to Save the Day

Britt Hayes — Thu, 09 May 2013 13:21:59 +0000

Pfffft, who needs Batman to come to the rescue when you’ve got two perfectly awesome superheroes? Let these Batgirl and Robin cosplayers show you how it’s done. Even The Dark Knight, one of the best and coolest superheroes around, needs a little help sometimes, which is why he has Robin and Batgirl to lend a [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Two-Face Is Double Trouble

Britt Hayes — Wed, 08 May 2013 14:10:03 +0000

Of all the Batman villains to cosplay, Two-Face is one of our favorites because he seems to bring out the most creativity in fans, like this gent straight outta London. Where to begin with Two-Face… He’s one of Batman’s most important villains, for sure. Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne were BFFs, but then Harvey had [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Hellboy Has Us Fired Up!

Britt Hayes — Mon, 06 May 2013 13:34:33 +0000

It takes a lot of attitude and a ton of red paint to cosplay as ‘Hellboy,’ and this cosplayer is definitely up to snuff. We really love this version of Big Red, courtesy of Chris Hampshire, a cosplay enthusiast from London. It’s not easy to cosplay as Hellboy — the guy is big, red and [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Robert Baratheon Lost the 'Game of Thrones,' But He Lives On

Britt Hayes — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:14:17 +0000

Who in their right mind even thinks to cosplay as Robert Baratheon? Of all the ‘Game of Thrones‘ characters, he’s the last one you’d expect someone to cosplay, which makes today’s pick even better. We see a lot of people trying to emulate Daenerys Targaryen (because obviously), Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow and even King Joffrey, [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Riddler and Two-Face are Up to No Good, Obviously

Britt Hayes — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:00:50 +0000

What’s more troublesome than one Batman villain? Two Batman villains, of course. It’s always more dangerous when the Dark Knight’s foes combine forces, but the cosplay is always so much cooler. Lhars Ebersold and her friendÂ Taffeta Darling cosplayed as the Riddler and Two-Face, respectively, for a comic convention last year. Yep, that’s right, you’re looking [...]

Cosplay of the Day: This 'Game of Thrones' Joffrey Cosplay Is So Perfect You'll Hate It

Britt Hayes — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:21:37 +0000

There he is! There’s Joffrey Baratheon! SLAP HIS FACE! Oh, wait, that’s just a really awesome cosplayer with a costume so perfect that you’ll want to punch his smug little face. We all hate Joffrey on ‘Game of Thrones.’ Like Pete Campbell of ‘Mad Men,’ you kind of love to hate him, though. There’s nothing [...]

Cosplay of the Day: 'X-Men's' Dazzler Gets Dude-ified

Britt Hayes — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:00:55 +0000

Dazzler from ‘X-Men‘ is one of the silliest comic book characters ever created, and the only thing sillier is this guy’s killer take on the superhero disco queen. Rule 63 cosplay can be so fun — we see a lot of women dressing as male characters and doing some really innovative, amazing work, but it’s [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Sailor Moon Is Out of This World!

Britt Hayes — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:00:25 +0000

Today’s cosplay is a little bit girly, a little bit cute, but a whole lot of kick-ass! And it’s probably the most legit ‘Sailor Moon’ costume we’ve seen in a while. Sailor Moon seems like a pretty easy costume to put together — a sailor-style, Japanese school girl uniform, Sailor Moon’s signature tiara, some red [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Captain America and Bucky Barnes Fight Red Skull!

Britt Hayes — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:56:25 +0000

The only thing more fun than one person doing cosplay is group cosplay! And we’re really digging this awesome Captain America, featuring Bucky Barnes and the evil Red Skull. Taken by photographer Carlos Adama (no, that’s not his real name, ‘Battlestar Galactica’ fans), these photos of his cosplaying friends Josh, Lil PrinceÂ and an unknown third [...]

Cosplay of the Day: This Joker Is Pretty Serious

Britt Hayes — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:00:59 +0000

We see a lot (a lot) of people cosplaying as various versions of the Joker from the Batman films, and even though the Heath Ledger version from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' is pretty popular, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cosplayer who does it better than this guy.

Cosplay of the Day: Get Pumped for 'Iron Man 3′ With This Amazing Cosplayer

Britt Hayes — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 13:22:09 +0000

We’re still awaiting the release of ‘Iron Man 3,’ but this cosplayer is way ahead of the game with his incredible costume based on the film’s Mark 42 design. Donrobert is billed as the “greatest ‘Iron Man’ cosplayer in theÂ Philippines,” and if he’s the best, his competition must be pretty fierce. His partner Izabel Cortez, [...]

Cosplay of the Day: The Tiniest Princess Leia

Britt Hayes — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:59:59 +0000

YOU GUYS. You have to look at this adorable little Princess Leia and tell us, with a straight face, that she’s not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. Inspired by — who else? — Princess Leia from ‘Star Wars,’ this tiny little Leia cosplayed by the teensy-weensy Breckyn is just too cute [...]

Cosplay of the Day: These G.I. Joes Are Ready to Retaliate

Britt Hayes — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:17:22 +0000

With ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation‘ in theaters, this group of cosplaying friends are having the time of their lives dressing up as their favorite Joes. Today’s cosplay is another reader submission, this time from Kevin Holt, a cosplayer who dresses up as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s Roadblock and hangs with his cosplaying friends, including Snake Eyes, [...]

Cosplay of the Day: An Appropriately Miniature Damian Wayne as Robin

Britt Hayes — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:22:20 +0000

Perhaps Batman’s tiniest sidekick to date, Damian Wayne (son of Batman himself) is a cute — but deadly — little ass-kicker, and we love this tiny imitation. Yesterday we brought you a classic Batgirl courtesy of Teri Standiford, a reader who submitted her own cosplay photos, and today we bring you another submission from Teri [...]

Cosplay of the Day: A Classic Batgirl

Britt Hayes — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:55:16 +0000

Holy smokes, Batman! This classic Batgirl makes us want to dust off our old comic books with her retro take on one of our favorite heroines/sidekicks. Today’s cosplay is a reader submission from Teri Standiford, a comic book fan from Florida who really knows how to bring comic book characters to life. Browsing her Facebook [...]

Cosplay of the Day: This Khaleesi Has a Horse!

Britt Hayes — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:55:07 +0000

We see a lot of Daenerys Targaryen cosplay inspired by ‘Game of Thrones,’ but we haven’t seen many that include a real horse! The Bird (Samantha) and The Bee (her husband, Brandon) are hobbyists who make all sorts of crafts and love taking photos of Samantha in cosplay. Her characters have included Lara Croft, Katniss [...]

Cosplay of the Day: These 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Are the Real Deal

Britt Hayes — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:43:33 +0000

These cosplayers take the hobby to the next level with incredibly realistic versions of the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘ and a little help from a professional photographer. Don’t get us wrong — we love the amateur cosplay stuff around here, but sometimes it’s nice to sit back and appreciate some professional work, too. You can’t [...]
