Comic-Con is endless fun, and one reason why is captured perfectly in this photo. Where else would you see Nathan Fillion greeting one of the tiniest Mal Reynolds I’ve ever seen? Say it with me: awwwww!
It looks like the young’n crashed a panel for Castle. I hope he was telling Fillion that he aimed to misbehave.

There’s cosplay and then there’s cosplay. I am often amazed by the amount of time and craftsmanship people put into costumes, and Master Le’s Iron Man Mark 7 Suit completely blows me away. It has shoulder weapons that are motorized, a retractable jet pack, and more. The armor is so good, he was invited to participate in some official promotions for Iron Man 2 in costume.
Watch the armor in action in two videos after the break.
You may remember that we featured this R2-D2 Ballerina Costume back in November, but some new photos have surfaced which provide a better look at the “Artoo Tutu” from J!NX designer Leeloo.
Check out additional pics after the break.
People cosplay for a host of different reasons. For some, it’s about the craftsmanship and the satisfaction of making an exact replica of a favorite character’s costume. Some love to show off their creations to the crowds at conventions; they can’t get enough of getting their picture taken and talking to others about cosplay. More often, it’s a combination of those two motivations. For others though, it’s about more. Members of organizations across the country put on costumes for charity.
Imagine you’re a sick kid stuck in the hospital. You’re scared, and you aren’t able to leave the confines of the ward much if at all. But Star Wars helps you to forget about these problems for a little while. You’ve seen the movies as many times as your parents let you, you have piles of the toys, and you like to pretend you’re a Jedi. Now imagine characters from your beloved saga show up in your hospital wing. Jedi, Stormtroopers, Yoda, and even Darth Vader are suddenly real and in front of your eyes.
Yeah, that would be a big freaking deal.
Why would you walk around showing your plain head when you could be wearing this awesome Frankenthulhu mask?! Okay, it’s actually listed as a display mask but no one could blame you for trying to put it on.
This design is so bizarre that it works. It took the deviantARTist AfterlightRob about 35 hours to sculpt the head, more time to put it in a mold and cast it, and another 8 or so hours to finish the paint. The final product was cast from latex. If you ask me, every minute put into this creation was worth it. I hope it doesn’t mysteriously come to life.

If you love the Pokemon trading card game, this cosplay option is probably much more comfortable than dressing up as a full size Pikachu. Not that I’ve ever dressed like either to know the difference. Anyways, Don Schwabs says the following about his creative and cool card costume:
For last year’s work Xmas party, we were told to come dressed as one of the products we sell. Amongst the Jason Voorhees’, Beetlejuices and Bioshock’s Little Sister, I decided to take things a little more literally.
Fast forward 4 months to Melbourne’s Supanova Pop Cultcha Expo, I decided to rock the ‘chu again and bring him to the masses. Got a pretty damn good result as I couldn’t take more than 5 steps before being asked for a photo and a fair bit of people freaking out in general (jeans were creamed).
I now plan on adding the corners of some energy cards that I can fan out the side for some Thunder Jolt-y goodness.
I challenge someone to put together a whole group of cosplay cards – Pokemon or otherwise.

Sometimes I think I’d be okay with robot assistance; then I think of every movie where that ends badly. Like, end of the human race badly. If I were going to have helpers though, I’d want it to be EVE and Master Chief just like in this wacky photo shoot. Photographer Olaf Mueller put together this spread called “Mechanics of Style” for Baccarat Magazine (out of Hong Kong).

Daenerys Targaryen had a beautiful wedding dress, and now you can own one just like it. Etsy seller couturecornershop is offering a replica of the dress custom made to your measurements. It would be ready in just four-six weeks; that leaves you plenty of time to find someone to accompany you as your Khal and enough time to sculpt dragon eggs. You’ll need them.
Keep in mind the pin centerpiece isn’t included. Another Etsy seller offers a replica of Dany’s three-headed dragon pin here.
