This is your last warning, Attack on Titan newbies. Drabblemeister’s ball gown is a very clever costume, but if you haven’t seen the first episode of the anime or read the second issue of the manga, go elsewhere.

This General Grievous cosplay is pretty clever. It uses Grievous’ cape to conceal the wearer’s legs, making it look even more authentic. You only see the metallic skeleton of the bad guy. It looks pretty scary.

Fans of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will recognize the sword here right away. It’s the sword used by the hero of the game, Edward Kenway, and now you can own one just like it. This replica sword is made out of latex rather than metal so you can use it in all your mock sword fights, and take it to cosplay parties without risk of stabbing someone (or yourself).

If you’ve never played Octodad or its sequel Dadliest Catch,you owe it to yourself to try this quirky game in which you play an anthropomorphic octopus who’s attempting to live his life as a normal human being.

YouTuber らってん技研 recently finished a replica of the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear used by the good guys in the hit manga and anime series Shingeki no Kyojin, aka Attack on Titan. It can’t be used to swing about, but it does come with fairly sharp steel blades.

This Iron Man suit replica was made by two Tony Starks. Greg Hatter built the suit itself, then he asked his friend Jerome Kelty to make some of its parts move. In his very detailed Instructables and Hack A Day posts, Jerome shares how he pulled off the complicated hacks.

Han Solo, you’re coming with me. To the prom. It isn’t often that you see Boba Fett in his (er, her) natural element. Now I see why.

Here’s cosplayer Nona Neon with her badass Gipsy Danger costume. As you can see Nona adapted the hunky form of Pacific Rim’s lead mecha to suit her body. She made the suit out of EVA foam plus various household objects, including a strainer for the chest piece.

We’ve featured awesome papercraft Iron Man and War Machine figurines before, but Kai-Xiang Xhong’s creation easily eclipses those two. The 20-year-old papercraft enthusiast made a life-size, wearable and wonderfully made Iron Man suit using nothing but cardboard.

The last time we saw professional cosplayer Peter Kokis, he was wearing his Crimson Typhoon costume. He reached out to us to share his latest creation, the Brooklyn Alien. Like his other costumes, this Xenomorph suit is made from various everyday objects.

An imaginary thinking cap? Pfff. The next time you’re in a quandary, put on this replica of Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s jacket and let the cerebral hero of Star Trek: The Next Generation be your spirit animal.

The suits that Isaac wears in the Dead Space games are awesome. If only we had a suit like one of those in real life. Well, we do. Well, Steven K Smith has one – and we’re jealous.

We’ve actually seen a baby in a Power Loader costume before, but it doesn’t get old. There’s something very creepy and unsettling about seeing a baby in control of a multi-ton machine capable of crushing an Alien Queen like a bug.

Back in 2009 we found a Game Boy costume that played Tetris. It had working buttons and had a laptop running an emulator. It turns out that anonymous cosplayer kept on working on his hack and showed off its latest version at the 2014 Ohayocon.

We featured a horned Loki hoodie before, but if all you want is his huge helmet, Etsy shop Raptor with a Shotgun has what you need. Sadly, they don’t have a raptor with a shotgun.

Video game characters are some of the most popular cosplay models. Unsurprisingly, many employees at game developer BioWare also love to cosplay. Those employees decided to make it easier for cosplayers to replicate the appearance of the characters in their upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition by releasing what they call Character Kits.
