Masquerade at Loncon 3 was an opportunity to unleash one’s inner superhero, film superstar or other character. An annual highlight of Worldcon, this year’s event featured over 30 original costumes and costume groups.
Captain America and a plethora of other masked superheroes, Master Chief from 'Halo', No-Face from 'Spirited Away', Captain Jack Sparrow, alien creature, even the creepy Slender Man, were all mingling with the crowds at the Loncon 3.
Members of the Slovak Outpost of the infamous 501st Legion, Darth Vader’s Elite Stormtrooper Unit also known as 'Vader's Fist', are a small but well organised unit, ready to take on the Rebel Alliance and crush the rebellion (maybe).
I know - strictly speaking this is not cosplay, but this R2D2-themed bike helmet, creation of Jenn, 25 year old pastry artist from Philadelphia is so impressive that we simply couldn't resist. But was the making of this sweet helmet a piece of cake?
Continuing with the theme of Edge of Tomorrow, Peter Kokis, performance artist from Brooklyn RobotWorks in New York created this amazing exoskeleton that even Major William Cage of United Defense Forces won't be ashamed of.
The latex costumes from Andromeda-latex.com are ideally suited for the more lazy of us, who would like to join in the cosplay fun, but have neither skills nor time to make the suits ourselves. Their wide range includes fantasy and sci-fi characters.
