Iron Man

Daawwwwwwwwwwww!  A mini Iron Man!  So cute!  He's totally not intimidating, but that's okay!  Because it's so cute!

THIS CHILD HAS THE COOLEST PARENTS EVER!  I'M DONE SHOUTING NOW, K THNX BAI!

Street Fighter - Cammy

This is a beautiful Cammy from Street Fighter.  It's been so long, I don't remember her from the game, but obviously others do!

Image by keneden

Butt cheek!  I mean...erm...she's...uhh....I can feel myself becoming a 14 year old boy again.  Curse the existence of hormones!  Also, praise the existence of hormones!

This character is based off of a WWII pin-up drawing of Cammy that Wraithdt did.

And because I can't leave you with just one image of this beautiful Cammy, have another!

Super Mario Bros - Luigi

Ah Luigi, the somewhat cowardly brother to Mario.  Yet you can push on past your fears (once you have finished hiding your face) and that makes you braver than Mario.  Cheers to you, Luigi!

Star Wars - C3PO

Oh man, I would have so much fun donning a cosplay outfit of C-3PO.  But I would hate to talk like him, so I would have conveniently had my voice box ripped out or shot by a laser.  But that would be so like C-3PO, entirely self-sacrificing.  Right?  Well....maybe not self-sacrificing...

I can't figure out what the guy in the black shirt is doing.  Trying to dance and move along with C-3PO?

Image by PopCultureGeek.com

Here the guy in the black shirt is thinking "Hurry up and put on your helmet, I want to dance!"

Hellboy - Karl Ruprecht Kroenen - Full Body

Now that I know better, here is a wonderful full body picture of a great Karl Ruprecht Kroenen cosplay from Hellsing.

Image by YGX

It's too bad that I will probably never see a cosplayer with a spiked hand like he has in this picture.  Silly conventions and their rules against sharp pointy objects.

Batman and Catwom Strike a Pose

A fantastic cosplay of Batman and Catwoman.  Batman actually looks intimidating and like he could do some damage to a person.

Image by YGX

Batman's thought in this picture, "I have this cool outfit, but a super dorky bright yellow utility belt that ruins the entire outfit."

Image by YGX

The caption from this panel just cracks me up.  I know that Catwoman is not talking about going straight sexually, but out of context that is exactly what it sounds like.

Spawn - Gunslinger

Gunslinger Spawn, from the comic Spawn.  A comic I have never heard of before, but after reading the Wiki on it, I really, really want to go and find a copy.

I feel like I would have fun putting together and wearing this cosplay outfit.  The chest-piece, hat and jacket would be a pain to find or make, but it would be worth it because of how kick'n I would look.

The Joker's Headshot

The Joker seems like a very popular character to cosplay as.  Why is that?  Do these people secretly want to be creepy, and use the excuse of a convention to do some questionable actions which they justify by saying they are just being in character?

If so, that's just lame.  If you want to be creepy, just go for it!  You don't have to hide who you are.  Just...keep it limited and on the straight and narrow.  Yes, it is possible to be a straight and narrow (not a sexual reference) creepy.  All it takes is a little hard work.

Image by i k o

Creepy factor aside, this is a very respectable costume of the Joker, and an excellent image to boot.

Steampunk Gunner

This is one bad-ass Steampunk gunner.  I would hate to end up on the wrong side of that gun.

It seems to me that so often Steampunk outfits are borderline cheesy, but this one is far from it.  This one is epic.  And if you disagree, you will have this lovely lady shoving a ten barrel gun in your face.

Image by OutlandArmour

I encourage you to visit Outland Armour's Flickr page.  They have some amazing outfits and creations which are well worth spending a few minutes of your life looking at.

Ghostbusters - In Rain Gear

Funny thing about a Ghostbusters cosplay, once you have seen one, you've seen them all.  But that does not make them any less cool.  Because it's Ghostbusters.

Any questions?  One?

Right, of course, where are more Ghostbuster related posts if they are so cool?

Well, I'll tell you.  I've got one right here ---> More Ghostbusting cool-ness <--- if you click that link, you will increase your life joy by ten points.

Star Wars - Stormtrooper

Looks like a Stormtrooper got some leave, and he's taking a dressy vacation.  I dare say that the looks very dashing with that top hot.

And kudos to the Empire paying living wages that allow their staff to purchase nice cameras.  See that wonderfully shiny Nikon hanging around his neck?

Pokemon - Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff!  One of the cutest, and most useless Super Smash Brothers character in existence.  It's true!  Have you ever played Super Smash with Jigglypuff and won?

But skill aside, just how short, or old, is this person cosplaying as Jigglypuff?  She looks to be four feet tall or less.

Image by Paul Fenwick under Creative Commons license

I think this would be one of the most fun, and annoying costumes to pull off.  You either need to be really short, or crouch all the time for it to be an effective costume.

Zombie Wants...A Nice Hat?

I don't even know what this is, but it's one cool image, and a very disgusting face.  I'm going to go with a non-specific zombie.

You know, just your ordinary, run of the mill, skin falling off zombie cosplay outfit.

Except this zombie has a nice hat.  Perhaps he is part of the zombie fashion police?

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider!  Hero?  Not really.  Really cool outfit and abilities?  You bet'cha.

Sweet picture of an even sweeter cosplay outfit of Ghost Rider?  Check.

Image by Criss!

So this image isn't even close to the the cosplayer, but it's such a bad-ass image, how could I not share it?  Chains, spikes and FOG!  Fog just makes any image 10x cooler, right?

Batman - A Cute Joker

Is a cute Joker even allowed?  I suppose one is, since this is one right here.  And it looks like the Joker has been doing some shopping.  I wonder what sorts of things a Joker would purchase.  Any ideas?

Image by Styeb

Indiana Jones

A pretty good cosplay outfit of Indiana Jones.  The movies are such great cheesy films, they fall somewhere in that category of great movies only because of the amount of cheesiness.

Image by Criss!

I wasn't a big fan of the most recent film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".  Mostly it was the giant ants.  They make me cringe and leave the room.

Where's Waldo

I found him!  I found him!  Although, I'm not sure why I was looking for him in the first place.

Did anyone else spend more of their time looking at what was going on in the scenes of Where's Waldo (Wally) than looking for that cunning red and white striped man?  Because I did, and I don't want to feel so alone...

Silent Hill - Nurse

I've never played Silent Hill, and after seeing this costume I don't really ever want to play Silent Hill.  It's disgusting, disturbing, creepy, and a fantastic costume!

A helpful hint to any readers.  If a nurse approaches you looking like this, don't let them take your blood pressure.

Gurren Lagann - Yoko 2.0

Hot, hot, hot, hot...er...this is a lovely costume, may I please take a picture, or several, so I can drool over these at night, instead of leaving a big drool puddle right here for someone to slip on?

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I love Gurren Lagann.  And not only for Yoko, although she does enhance the pleasure of watching.

Image by Jay Adan

Here we get a better view of her gun.  No, not her "guns" ladies and gentlemen, but her gun.  Singular.  If you want to look at her "guns" continue drooling over the picture directly above.

Image by Jay Adan

To view a previous post with an alternate Yoko cosplayer, mosey on over to this link.

Megaman

Yeah!  Megaman!  Er...Megamen?  Megamen/woman?  Either way these cosplayers are full of epic awesomeness.  When I was a kid I loved playing Megaman for hours on end.

Image by gabofr

On a somewhat related note, Megaman reminds me of Bomberman.  I need to see if I can find a good Bomberman cosplay now.

The Muppet Show - Beaker

Poor Beaker, a lowly lab assistant who always seems to be poorly affected by the experiments he works around.  But like a faithful, dedicated muppet, he's always there to entertain us.

Image by Jay Adan

I'm not sure how I would react if I saw this cosplayer in person.  I think I would high-five this brave soul, back away from a living monster (face it, muppets are creepy) or feel compelled to break out a chemistry set and ask Beaker to assist me.

Metalocalypse - Dr. Roxo

Don't drink the kool-aid, don't drink that kool-aid! .......too late....well...this is a frightening result.  Kids, don't drink, this is what you will look like.

Image by Spider.Dog

The lovely, beautiful, attractive person here is dressed as Dr. Roxo from Metalocalypse.  I suppose he did a good job of accurately representing the character, but some characters should not be cosplayed.

The Little Mermaid - Ariel

"...such wonderful things surround you, what more is you lookin' for?"

Oh, under the sea!

Under the sea!

Great, I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day.  But it's a wonderful song, so I don't mind, too much.

Image by Parka Blogs

I hope you enjoy this Mermaid, though she does seem to be a fish out of water since she hasn't transformed to human yet...

TF2 - Scout

Now this, this cosplay of the Scout from Team Fortress 2, "Dat's what I'm talkin' about!"

The Scout is not my favored class, but he is fun to play as, and this Cosplayer did an excellent job of capturing the image of the Scout.

Bonk!

Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) - Ciel Phantomhive

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 12 year old egotistical, business savvy boy, Lord Earl Ciel Phantomhive!

Image by Kevin Dooley under Creative Commons license.

I want that outfit.  It's absolutely beautiful, and the photograph is stunning.  This is a wonderful Ciel cosplay, possibly the best I have ever seen.

Katamari - Prince of All Cosmos

I had never thought of a Katamari costume until now.  This might not be an extravagant and complicated costume, but it is wonderful and in its own way, beautiful.

Image by phil_g

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...the Prince of All Cosmos!

Yes, that is a woman.

No, we won't point out that would make her a princess.

Spiderman - Zombie Version

Looks like Spiderman got bit by more than a spider this time...

Image by istolethetv

Ew, ew, ew.  Stay away.  There is no upside down kissing for you, ever!

While we are on the subject, here is another zombie Spiderman...

Image by InfoMofo

What is going on with his leg?  Is that brown tissue paper?

Final Fantasy - Cloud(KFC) and Sephiroth(McDonalds) Final Showdown

I...what...what is even going on?  Is that an Oriental Colonel from KFC, and what is probably an Oriental McDonald's clown having a stare down?

Image by swanky

I can see the scene already from a summer blockbuster.  The Kentucky Colonel and the McDonald's clown, once best friends turn against each other.

The production culminates in a final fight scene between the two.  Of course it is all in (insert favored Oriental language here), and it is a winner of multiple Film Festival awards.
