Awesome Cosplay

Odin Makes shows us how to make Ant-Man’s helmet from Ant-Man and The Wasp. It’s made almost entirely out of craft foam and floor mat foam, and the lenses are from a plastic bowl. If your crafting skills are up to it, you can get Odin’s templates here.

The guys from Sneaky Zebra stopped by MCM London Comic-Con 2017 to check out some of the awesome costumes that fans wore to the show. There’s a little something for everyone, from Wonder Woman, to Pickle Rick, to Beric Dondarrion and his fiery sword.

As expected, Nintendo delivered another classic game with Super Mario Odyssey. ThinkGeek lets you bring the game’s new and imaginative mechanics home with this wearable Cappy hat. If you don’t have a Switch yet, you can also get the hat as part of a console bundle.

Sneaky Zebra dropped by this year’s San Diego Comic-Con and captured some of the many awesome and creative costumes that fans were showing off. Among our favorites are the Lord of Darkness from Legend, Yondu Poppins, and of course, the Dog Wonder.

One of the best parts of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the snarky new droid K-2SO. Norm Chan from Tested recently met up with fan Darren Moser to take a look at the amazing full-scale K-2SO puppet suit he’s been building. We can’t wait to see the finished build.

Sneaky Zebra dropped by WonderCon in Anaheim, California to hang out with the many dedicated fans who turned out in their best costumes. The Joker and Mr. Meeseeks both want Lucille, John Wick got his dog back, and that dude from Beetlejuice still has a tiny head.

BeatdownBoogie dropped by Maryland’s Katsucon to spend some time with many dedicated fans who turned up in their finest costume garb. There’s lots of eye candy, though we had to wash our eyeballs out after the creepy dude at 1:04.

Halloween might be several months away, but it’s never too early to start shopping for your next awesome costume idea. These freaky looking handmade masks from Bird Art Bulgaria should do the trick just fine. There’s some awesomely weird stuff here, folks.

We’ve seen makeup artist Kay Pike’s amazing body paint creations before, but this golden protocol droid from Star Wars might be her best yet – with those exposed wires in her belly and flat eyes painted on her eyelids. The red arm from The Force Awakens is a nice touch.

Sneaky Zebra dropped by Atlanta’s big sci-fi and fantasy fan convention, and captured video of some of the many fun and fantastic costumes on hand during this year. It was a hard decision, but the four LEGO Ghostbusters minifigs win our vote for best of the show.

Costume maker Julian Checkley was awarded the Guinness World Record for having the most functional gadgets on a costume. He didn’t make the Arkham Origins-inspired Batsuit, but he did make the gadgets, which include a Bat-tracker, a grapnel gun, and a flashbang.

Aside from dressing up as The Revenant‘s bear, Adam Savage also toured the San Diego Comic-Con with Anovos’ officially licensed Kylo Ren costume, which apparently weighs 10lb excluding the helmet. It looks badass though, as a $3,100 costume should.

Sneaky Zebra presents their latest cosplay compilation, showing off some of the amazing craftsmanship, creativity and dedication of costumed fans who attended this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Nope, we have no idea what the deal is with Ronald McThornald is either.

Our pals at Sneaky Zebra dropped by WonderCon in LA to catch some of the more impressive costumes on hand. While Zoolander 2 was a letdown, the guys dressed as Derek, Hansel, and Mugatu nailed it, as did Thanos, Batman and Deadpool. Then there’s BB-8 kid.

Body paint artist Kay Pike has dressed herself in a number of incredible “outfits” made almost entirely from makeup. Her latest creation – the Boy Wonder himself. You can watch the design come together in her time-lapse video.

Wired talks to Shawn Thorsson, whose life changed course after he saw a trailer for the first Iron Man movie. After making a replica of Tony Stark’s suit, Shawn never looked back and has been making amazing costumes and prop replicas ever since.

For Halloween, Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens did an updated version of the skateboarding Aladdin costume, turning a Boosted Board electric longboard into a magic carpet. An electric skateboard and Yeezy Boosts? He’s a prince indeed.

Makeup artist Kandee Johnson shows off a look in which she transforms herself into a comic book character that’s half man and half woman. The freaky contact lenses help finish the look, but it’s Kandee’s talent that brings it all together. If you don’t believe us, watch this.

It’s good to know that folks in Russia love cosplay just as much as we do here in the States. This great video from Mr. TVCow shows off some of the impressive costumes and makeup at Comic Con Russia 2015. Is it just us, or are all the women in Russia gorgeous?

BeatDownBoogie takes us inside the geeky paradise that is Dragon Con, as dedicated fans show off some of their awesomely creative cosplay. That girl at 3:19 is gonna haunt our dreams now. Want more? Be sure to watch parts two and three.

Sneaky Zebra’s latest costume hunting video comes from the big daddy of events – the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con. Yet again, we’re in awe of the creativity and dedication of the fans. We especially love the Walking Dead group cosplay.

Adam Savage loves to attend the San Diego Comic-Con in full costume. This year he went as a 2001: A Space Odyssey astronaut with a very special guest: retired astronaut Chris Hadfield. Skip to 9:50 for their “spacewalk.”

An incredibly accurate cosplay of Batman’s armor from Arkham Origins made by Julian Chekley and his crew at Order 66. Julian’s Darth Malgus is equally awesome. Photos by Kamil Krawczak. Video here.
