Cosplay Monday: Dr. Strange and Clea

Posted on by

After an extra special Cosplay Week, we’re back to our regularly scheduled Cosplay Monday and we have more costumes from Dragon*Con to help take your mind off that horrible case of the Mondays you might be coming down with.

Check out how fantastic Allen/loganallenwolf and Mary/twinklebat (both of the Superhero Costuming Forum) look as Dr. Strange and Clea.  Both of them could have stepped right off the page of a Marvel Comic and their costumes looked just as impressive in person.  Well done to both of them!

Cosplay Week: Hallis Saper

Posted on by

We’re wrapping up Cosplay Week with another appropriate costume for Tosche Station.  Hopefully you’ve enjoyed seeing these fantastic costumes as much as we did and, as always, if you recognize any of these costumes, let us know so we can credit them!

One thing we don’t see enough of at conventions is Expanded Universe costumes outside side of a handful of big name characters.  While we always love seeing some great SWEU costumes, we especially love seeing characters who don’t get as much love.  Enter this fabulous Hallis cosplayer from Celebration VI.  We’ve never seen someone attempt this costume before and we’re pretty sure she nailed it.

Edit: You can find her website here!

Cosplay Week: Tropic Thunder

Posted on by

Cosplay Week continues with Bria’s personal favorite costume from Dragon*Con and that’s saying something given how many awesome costumes were at the con.  Once again, I don’t know who the cosplayer was so if anyone recognizes him, please let us know so we can credit accordingly!

Everyone remembers Tropic Thunder, right?  It was a comedy from 2008 that riffed on action films and is responsible for a lot of gifs of Robert Downey Jr. in blackface on tumblr.  One of the funniest parts of the film were the fake film trailers at the start.  RDJ’s character starred in a fictious film called “Satan’s Alley”, Jack Black’s character was in a Nutty Professor, and Ben Stiller’s character is the ailing action star.  His trailer is for the latest in his franchise, Scorcher VI.  (Check it out on YouTube if you don’t remember.)  I positively love the film and when I saw this costume, I went running after the guy to snag a picture.  Props to this awesome costumer for rocking a minor yet hilarious costume like this one!

Cosplay Week: Captain Marvel

Posted on by

We’re continuing with Cosplay Week here at Tosche Station and featuring some of the fabulous costumes we spotted at Celebration VI and Dragon*Con! Again, we don’t know who the cosplayers were for most of these so if you recognize the costumer, please let us know so we can give proper credit!

If you’re a regular reader of Tosche Station, it’s no secret that we’re big fans of Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel around here and we were definitely hoping to see some cosplayers with her new costume.  Dragon*Con costumers didn’t fail us and amongst the sea of Lokis and Hawkeyes, we found her!  Not only did her costume look great but she had some serious Carol attitude!  (Please notice the bonus defeated Deadpool we got for recognizing and loving her costume.)

Cosplay Week: Darth Talon and Cade Skywalker

Posted on by

We have more Star Wars costumes for today’s edition of Cosplay Week from Celebration VI!  Unlike yesterday, we actually don’t know who these costumers are and this particular picture was snagged from Jan Duursema’s Facebook so if you know who they are, shout out!

Edit: You can find Darth Talon’s Facebook page here and Cade’s here. Great costumes, guys!

Take a look at these two perfect Darth Talon and Cade Skywalker costumers who look like they could’ve stepped right off the pages from the Legacy comics.  The body pain on Talon is perfectly done and I’m incredibly impressed by the tattoos and the chest armor on Cade.

Cosplay Week: The Hapan Queens

Posted on by

Cosplay Week continues here at Tosche Station with not one, not two, but three costumes today!  Not only are we featuring one of the best Tenel Ka costumes but also a Teneniel Djo and a Ta’a Chume!  That’s right: the entire line of Hapan Queens live and in person!  Heather, one half of Zhobot, as Tenel Ka Djo, Jesse as Teneniel, and Jean as Ta’a Chume.

Cosplay Week: Mary Poppins

Posted on by

And we’re back with Cosplay Week!  We saw so many awesome costumes at Celebration VI and Dragon*Con that we just had to share some of them with you as soon as possible!    Again, we don’t know who the cosplayers were for most of these so if you recognize the costumer, please let us know so we can give proper credit!

Today’s awesome cosplay by Lisa was spotted Friday night of Dragon*Con.  At first glance, she’s just Mary Poppins, right?  Which is amazing all on its own because who doesn’t love Mary Poppins?  But take another look.  The handle of her umbrella is a sonic screwdriver, her bag is a TARDIS, and she’s wearing a smaller version of the Fourth Doctor’s scarf!  If this isn’t a good argument for Mary Poppins being the Twelth Doctor, then we don’t know what is!

Cosplay Week: Korra

It’s Cosplay Monday!  No wait, that’s not right.  Today’s Sunday.  Actually, we’ve got something better for you than just Cosplay Monday: it’s Cosplay Week!  Between Celebration VI and Dragon*Con, we at Tosche Station have seen a TON of fantastic costumes lately and we couldn’t wait to share some of them with you.  So for this week only, we’ll be posting an awesome costume that we saw these past two conventions every day!  We don’t know who the cosplayers were for most of these so if you recognize the costumer, please let us know so we can give proper credit!

Cosplay Monday: Jedi Mind Tricks

Posted on by

It’s Monday, which means it’s back to the grind for many of you. Here at Tosche Station, we aim to alleviate the tedium with a feature we call Cosplay Monday. Each week we highlight an intrepid costumer that goes above and beyond to celebrate fandom. This week, we’ve got Savanna from the PLC Blog and her Old Republic era Jedi costume:

Great costume, Savanna!

Cosplay Monday: Endor Leia

Posted on by

You know what we’re sick of almost as much as Catsuit!Mara? Metal Bikini!Leia. Yes, we get it. Leia wore a metal bikini on Tatooine and looked attractive in it. We get it. She did wear other things in the movies, you know. At least there’s one intrepid costumer out there that figures it’s time for something other than the bikini. Meet Kate Lomax Blankenship and her Endor Leia costume:

Well done, Kate! To see the rest of her costume pictures, head over to the Lady Lomax Cosplay Tumblr.
