Hasta La Gadget!

There’s cosplay and then there’s COSPLAY. If you’re serious about your costuming, and you’re into Batman, then you’ll want to start pinching your pennies now. Unless that is, you’re Bruce Wayne – then you can already afford to buy this stitch-perfect Batman cowl based on the one that Adam West wore in the 1960s TV series.

Each cowl is handmade by Williams Studio 2, and is as accurate as anything I’ve ever seen. It’s made from custom dyed Lastex, with a fiberglass shell, paint, foam, leather, and snaps to hold it in place. The pattern for this mask was made using a show-original cowl as a reference, and even the color of the eyebrow paint was Pantone-matched to the original.

Apparently, this thing is so perfect that Adam West himself owns one of these replicas. If you’d like one for yourself, you’re going to need to pony up $1,500(USD), but that’s chump change to Gotham’s number one billionaire, right? While you’re on a spending binge, why not grab an Adam West head to go with it?

What happens when you combine the chattiness of Pinky Pie with Ghostbusters? You get this awesomely cute My Little Pony proton pack. It won’t capture ghosts, but it will turn that frown upside down.

This comes from a friend of Judson Hudson who loves to cosplay as a Ghostbuster and Pinkie Pie. An odd combination, but a winning one for little girls and Bronies. This custom proton pack lights up and plays all kinds of sounds.

In fact, just like Pinkie Pie, it seems like it is hard to shut this thing up. Check out the video for all of the sounds this thing does.

The last cosplay I featured was very faithful to its source material. It was also legitimately creepy. This Toothless quad suit on the other hand may not be the most polished costume out there, but it is one of the most adorable ones I’ve ever seen.

Based on the protagonist’s best buddy in the animated movie How to Train Your Dragon, the suit was made in 2011 by Jessica Angus aka Monoyasha. She says it’s quite comfortable and can easily be removed for transport or storage. In case you’re wondering, the wearer sees through an opening on the costume’s neck.

You can find out a bit more about Jessica’s costume on her deviantART page, where she also posted a few in progress shots.

Check out this amusing cosplay of all of the Avengers assembled into one body, put together by Damon McNeill. I’m not sure if he couldn’t make up his mind or just wanted to shake things up. But either way, the cosplay is pretty awesome and is truly one of a kind.

So you’ve spotted elements of Captain America on the dude’s shirt and shield, Iron Man on the helmet and chest light, Thor with his hammer and hair, the Hulk with his shorts and legs, Hawkeye with his bow, and Nick Fury with the eye patch. That leaves the Black Widow…

Before you think he wasn’t able to figure out a way to incorporate the vivacious female member of the Avengers to his costume, look at his arms more closely.

Yep, that’s right: he’s got the Black Widow’s arms. Sneaky, sneaky.

We’ve seen a lot of cool costumes over the years and many look amazing, but this Spider-Man costume may be the most movie accurate costume we’ve ever seen. It isn’t just the details, but the quality is simply amazing too.

In fact, his costumes were so amazing that he claims Marvel sent him a cease and desist letter since he used to make them for other people too. Really, instead of being so heavy-handed, they need to just hire this guy. It is some truly awesome work. If I had a costume this good, I would move to New York and fight crime and put it all on my Youtube channel.

But, with a great costume comes great responsibility. I don’t know if I’m ready for that. Maybe I would just admire myself in the mirror.
