I can’t say whether or not this Proton Pack will actually trap ghosts, but from this brief glimpse, there is one thing I can say for certain: this badass project is sure to score the top prize at Halloween costume contests, and isn’t that worth more than a ghost in a box?
The entire costume–you…

Fauxblademaster Aaron makes “convention safe” video game swords and shields in his spare time. He hasn’t made a ton of them yet, but each of his creations are very detailed. Here’s one of his creations, a fiberglass replica of the Twilight Princess version of the Master Sword, Link’s trusty weapon in the Legend of Zelda…

Lisa over at Boing Boing Gadgets just spotted these ridiculous furry cat ear headphones from Japanese gadget maker Thanko.
There’s not a whole lot to say about them, other than the fact nobody I know would never be caught dead wearing them.
I suppose if you’ve got some sort of feline fetish, you might want…

Zelda fans have been with Link through the ages, so why limit cosplay to individuals old enough to choose for themselves? Presenting the Link costume for babies:
Not that I can say much–my son was a moogle for his first Halloween. And all japes aside, this outfit is beautifully well made. Kind of makes me wish…

If you ever wondered what that mysterious turtle Lakitu would look like if he was, say, human, your day is here. In fact, you get a large chunk of the cast of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros Brawl, all in the disturbing vision of Greg De Stefano. Or maybe I’m just creeped out by his version…

Sighted at last week’s Ohayocon 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, some dude went all out with this life size Nintendo Game Boy costume that’s actually playable.
The cardboard Game Boy shell is a little janky, but the wearer deserves mad props for the fully-functional Game Boy emulator, running Tetris on a laptop screen. You can see it…
