Cosplay Monday: Gender Swapped Storm

Posted on by

Aaaaaand Cosplay Monday is back after a nice long break for the holidays.  This week, we’re featuring a super amazing gender swapped costume: Storm from Marvel’s X-men!  When pictures of this amazing costume by Larry popped up on tumblr the other week, I just knew it had to be shared with all of you.  He completely captures the essence of Storm’s character while simultaneously creating a fantastic costume.  On top of that, his poses for the photos are great and absolutely make me believe that he is indeed worshiped as a weather god in Kenya.  (Honestly.  Just try and tell me he doesn’t look cool as heck!)

You can check out more photos of the costume and from the shoot at NYCC over at the Felix Wong Photography Facebook Page.

Cosplay Monday: Doctor Doom

It’s time for another Cosplay Monday and we have to warn you: the following images might be disturbing… because they are JUST THAT CUTE!  (Yeah, we’ve fallen into a bit of a pattern here.)  But hey, when something this awesome appears on your tumblr dash, you just have to share it with everyone!

Enter the great and terrible Victor Von Doom!

Just try and tell me that’s not the cutest thing ever!  To top it off, his costume looks just as good if not even better than the costumes of some adult Doctor Dooms that I’ve seen around conventions.

Cosplay Monday: Hogwarts Founders

Posted on by

For this week’s Cosplay Monday, we’re bringing you perfection in a photo.  No, not actually a character named perfection, just a perfect costume group!  Check out this AMAZING group of Hogwarts Founders: Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin!  I love the unique spins they each put into their costumes while making obvious the character they are portraying.  And Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff all have their special artifacts!  Honestly, I can’t say enough things about how wonderful each and every one of them look.  Job well done!

Cosplay Monday: Marty McFly

Posted on by

This week, we’re headed back to the future to find a costume worthy of Cosplay Monday.  Check out this awesome Marty McFly costumer from New York Comic Con!  Not only does his costume look great but he definitely put some work into perfecting his poses.  Great work!

Should we be looking out of frame for Doc and the DeLorean…?

Cosplay Monday: Brave

Posted on by

In honor of Brave being released on DVD this week, we thought we’d bring you an appropriately themed edition of Cosplay Monday.  Check out this picture gluetree took at New York Comic Con of the royal Scottish family themselves.  They look great as King Fergus, Queen Elinor, and Merida!  Plus, it’s always wonderful to see groups like this especially when Merida’s been a popular costume this year.  It’s even more amazing when you can tell that they’re having tons of fun and that’s what costuming is really all about!

Cosplay Monday: Scooby Doo!

Posted on by

Scooby Doo, where are you?  In our Cosplay Monday post, of course!  This week’s costume comes from all the way across the pond.  Check out this awesome costume group from the October MCM Expo in London with Ryan as Fred, Mitch as Shaggy, Emmy as Daphne, Anna as Velma, and, of course, Scooby Doo!  I’ve never seen an entire group like this before and they pulled it off so well.  Plus, it looks like they had a ton of fun wearing the costumes throughout the convention.  Well done to every one involved!

You can see more pictures of the group on Emmy’s Facebook page: FairyPorchQueen Cosplay.   (There’s even one where they’re investigating a Jawa…)

Cosplay Monday: Genderswapped Nightwing

Posted on by

Aaaaand we’re back with another edition of Cosplay Monday.  This week, we’re featuring yet another genderswapped costume from this year’s New York Comic Con.  (I swear that this pattern is completely by accident!)  Samantha Nicole on flickr spotted this amazing Genderswapped Nightwing on the floor of the con.  It looks great, it looks functional, those weapons look like they could do some serious damage and it’s just an all around great re-imagining of what Dick Grayson’s costume would look like if he was a woman.

Cosplay Monday: Han Solo

Posted on by

Aaaaaand we’re back with Cosplay Monday!  This week, we’re featuring an awesome Han Solo costume originally spotted by Club Jade on tumblr.  And it’s not just any Han Solo costume… it’s a gender swapped Han Solo costume!

Made and worn by loveandasandwich at New York Comic Con, this is just an awesome costume!  I particularly love the Chewbacca backpack because not only is it a creative way to include Han’s partner in crime but it’s also ridiculously adorable!  According to her DeviantArt, she also had a Luke Skywalker with her at NYCC as well.

This is just a fantastic costume and was a genderswap very well done.

Cosplay Monday: The Costumes of Cadet

Posted on by

It’s Monday again and you know what that means: it’s time for Cosplay Monday!  This week, we’re featuring the work of a costumer brought to my attention by Emily.  Cadet, aka James, has a pretty impressive body of costuming work.  His work with armor and props is enough to make almost anyone envious.  Check out his totally awesome Boba Fett!

And his costuming talents aren’t just confined to armor or props!  His Tenth Doctor looks fantastic and pretty spot on!

To see more of James’s work, including a great looking Clone Trooper and a Spartan Warrior, be sure to check out his site.

Cosplay Monday: Ursula

Posted on by

Cosplay Monday returns with this cool photograph by darkainmx of brethlessaire as Ursula from The Little Mermaid that I found via Tumblr!  Her costume isn’t just gorgeous but is also incredibly detailed and undoubtedly took a lot of work.  It’s also probably one of the most impressive looking versions of a “humanized” Disney villain/character that I’ve ever seen.
