If you are a fan of renaissance festivals, this suit of armor will probably land you any service wench you lay eyes on at the king’s feast. This isn’t a full suit of armor, however; you don’t get whatever you call the parts for your legs and feet, or even a helmet.

Halloween will be here before you know it. They already have Halloween stuff in the stores, and the giant Halloween pop-up store in my town is already open. That means it’s time to start thinking about what you want to dress up as.

Marvel’s been casting wide nets for its variant covers. Last month it unveiled its hip-hop themed variants, then earlier this month the manga ones. The latest batch of variant covers is bound to be divisive, but still a great marketing tactic for the House of Ideas.

It seems like every time you get used to a bat suit, they make a reboot and change it all up. Well, the Dark Knight suit is now becoming outdated, so why not upgrade to this Batman bodysuit?

When Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man came out in 2002, Yuri Schuurkes was captivated by the movie’s take on Spidey’s costume. He wasn’t a big fan of the hero himself, but he became obsessed with Peter Parker’s crime-fighting costume.

San Diego Comic-Con was the place to be this year as it is every year. But this time, there was a little something extra for fans of giant monsters. Tested enlisted the help of movie effects artist Frank Ippolito to create a scary real-life version of the Rancor beast from Return of the Jedi.

I’m Bark Man! Where does he get those wonderful woods? Quick, to the birch cave! Okay, that’s enough wood jokes. This awesome Batman suit was made by french artist Christophe Guinet and it looks cool as hell.

Thanks to Capcom you won’t have to sneak into Storm Eagle’s stage to upgrade your headgear. Its upcoming life-size Mega Man helmet is made of ABS plastic, has light up parts and has a “unique clamshell hinge” that lets the front and back halves split open to make the helmet easier to wear.

This Asgardian Iron Man armor kicks some serious Asgard! It was made by Samuel Lee from Prince Armory. I don’t think I have ever seen a lovelier set of Iron Man armor. This full set of Asgardian Iron Man armor is all leather with brass hardware.

Etsy shop Illumi-Nation makes plexiglass visors with futuristic laser-etched patterns that pop up when the built-in LEDs are powered up. Most of the visors have elaborate patterns, like the Iron Man-inspired one you see below, but the shop also has visors that don’t have any etching.

Artist Stefanos Anagnostopoulos made a replica of the Joker’s infamous face mask using a 3D printer. Stefanos’ grisly paint job pushes it to the stuff of nightmares. I think the absence of the Joker’s green hair also makes the mask scarier than its comic book counterpart.

Last year we checked out a high quality fan-made replica of the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear from Attack on Titan. But if you’re looking for something more authentic, you’re in luck. Somewhat. Japanese geek merchandise company Movic is now accepting pre-orders for an officially licensed life-size replica of the 3DMG.

I’m a weakling. Do you even lift bro? No. No, I do not. Well, there is the remote. I’m pretty disciplined about lifting that. Thank god I can look like a tough guy with to this line of realistic wearable muscle suits available from Flex Design Costumes.

If you were envious of cosplayer Kirameku’s custom made Nisha the Lawbringer pants, mosey on to Etsy shop Déjà Neuf Heures and inquire about their cel-shaded, Borderlands-inspired women’s pants. They’re made of cotton and polyester and are stretchy and comfy.

Here come the boys in white. A few months after unveiling its snowtrooper costume, prop maker Anovos is accepting pre-orders for its officially licensed stormtrooper costume. Anovos referred to various official sources to recreate how it appeared in the movies, but it also made a few changes to make sure that they’re wearable.

We’ve featured LEGO enthusiast Iain Heath aka Ochre Jelly numerous times before, but this time we’re not sharing one of his MOCs. Iain made himself an awesome TARS costume for this year’s Emerald City Comic-Con. It can’t transform or adjust its humor level, but it looks and works a lot like the puppets that actor Bill Irwin used in Interstellar.
