I love this Plastic Man costume, seen at the recent Fan Expo 2010 in Toronto. So very cool!
When will Hollywood make a Plastic Man movie? I still have hopes for Stephen Colbert to play the role. But they better hurry, he’s not getting any younger…

Here’s some awesome cosplay by Jia Jem of Jack from Mass Effect 2! Wow, she looks really bad ass.
What a fabulous cosplayer — you should check out her website, she has tons of awesome cosplay photos!
Here’s fun fan film called Superman vs Bizarro. I think it’s rather well made, all things considering. Sure, the costumes are rather average, but they do the job.
You can tell these guys really love Superman! It’s nice to see Bizarro get some screen time, the poor guy is so misunderstood.
It looks like costume guru, God Save the Queen Fashions, just finished a new project. She recently posted this awesome Elektra costume! Wonderful work, this looks great.

I received an email from Jeremy Naylor, creator of the famous Wampa costume. He was recently at the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, where he saw Darth Vader go head to head against a closed concession stand.
Looks like it will take more than the Force to open that door. Sorry, Vader… FAIL!
Thanks to Jeremy for the tip!
I really like this Gotrek costume! What a magnificent job. Gotrok is the troll-killing dwarf from the Warhammer fantasy universe.
As seen on io9.com, they have a nice little gallery of costumes from last weekend’s GenCon 2010. Click Here to check it out!
Here’s a fun look at Star Wars fans singing and dancing in costume. CNN captured this footage from the Star Wars Celebration which wrapped up last weekend in Orlando. During the Fan Films award show, they took a dance break while a DJ played some tunes.
Funny stuff. Not only can lightsabers chop off your hand, but they make great air guitars.

Take a look at this wonderful Mystique costume, made by model/cosplayer ikearstin. Very impressive, she totally nailed it.
I made almost everything! The boots I got from Lover’s Lane. I made the skull belt from Fright Catalog, cutting them in half and taping loops in the back to slide onto an already made belt. Gloves were from my Princess Peach halloween costume. The facial skull piece is from a “Rebel Toons Tinkerbell” jewelry set that I just removed the rings from and spirit gummed to my face. I used theatre make up for my face, and made a blue spandex body suit and white dress from spandex at Joann Fabrics.
Ikearstin has lots of great costume photos on her site, including her Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch, and Ms. Marvel. Jean Grey and Elastigirl are coming soon. Definitely worth checking out! CLICK HERE.

Wearing what he calls his Darksage costume, Vincethesage demonstrates his sword techniques by destroying several bottles with a rather sharp homemade sword.
That looks like a pretty mean sword, and the costume’s not bad, either.
Huh.
I wear my Darksage costume and go outside and own a bunch of bottles. Its fun and it kills a good 20 minutes. Any questions about the sword the sheath, and the coat Don’t ask cuz I made the sword, sheath, and the coat so you cant rly buy them anywhere XD
To forge a sword you need to know a bit about blacksmithing and Welding. So before you attempt I recommend you read many, many books about it. Its dangerous and requires alot of attention and work.
After I finished forging the blade I then Grinded down all rough sides of the blade with a Black and Decker bench grinder (Do not sharpen this way it will warp the steel!). To sharpen it I used a few things (A tool file to get the shape of the edge, Use a 800 grit sharpening stone to create the blade geometry, 1500 GritSand paper to smooth out the edges, Then use Micromesh to polish the blade).
The sheath is made of oak sanded and hollowed out with perfect measurements to fit the blade, I made a small lock mechanism to keep the sword locked in the sheath so I can swing it around without the sheath flying off. It required 6-7 hours of work so patience is of the utmost importance.
The coat was made a few years ago by me and a couple relatives. I dont quite remember the materials used but I do remember it took roughly a week or so to complete. The basic Idea was it to be a short sleeve trench coat. I also installed a concealed sheath in the back for my sword. My guess is you didn’t see it? well good that means its working X3
