Firefly is one of those shows that didn’t last that long on TV, yet spawned some rabid fans that still cry for the series to come back years after it was cancelled. If you are a Firefly fan looking for a new coat for cosplay, checkout this officially-licensed Browncoat Replica from AbbyShot.

Sometimes life is stranger or just as strange as fiction. Take this pub in London for instance. It’s the Jon Snow pub. You know nothing, Jo(h)n Snow…pub!

If you are really into Game of Thrones on HBO or the books, you will be interested in this new outfit at ThinkGeek. One of the main characters in the series is Jon Snow, and one of his most notable accessories is his cape of awesomeness.

Check out this video of Olivier Richters dressed up to look like a member of the orc breed Urak-Hai from The Lord of the Rings. This is some amazing cosplay. It’s even more amazing because he goes grocery shopping and doesn’t even get hassled by police or the management.

Cosplayer Carla Croft wanted to cosplay as Lara Croft, naturally. She could have gone for the most recent version, but she didn’t. Instead, she went for the original, pointy version. I gotta say, it’s pretty accurate from what I remember, but also somewhat disturbing.

Professional cosplayer Peter Kokis recently pointed us to his latest costume. He calls it the B-Exo Soldier, inspired by the armed exoskeleton worn by the characters of Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and the other soldiers in the fun sci-fi action movie Edge of Tomorrow.

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.
