Dalek Costume Done Right

Over the years we have seen plenty of Dalek costumes. All different kinds. And while most are great, they are far from complete. Sure, they have the eyestalk, those bumps all over the body, a bumper at the base and the required plunger arm, but they are missing something very important – the actual mutant lifeform on the inside.

Well, this one is complete. Costume Works reader Michelle has made the ultimate Dalek costume for her daughter and she is all about the finer details. It not only has a Dalek body inside, but that body is all gross and shriveled, complete with a door to show it off.

The girl inside is also wearing a red dress. Is that you Clara Oswald? Everyone just send her your candy now and turn your lights off this Halloween. It’s all over. It doesn’t get better than this.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Uniform Hoodies: Starfleece

Declare your allegiance to the Starfleet without wearing Spandex with ThinkGeek’s officially-licensed Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform hoodies. They have all three colors: red for command, gold for operations and blue for sciences. I guess the Enterprise had no need for plumbers and cooks. Or technologies.

The hood on each sweater has piping that matches the sweater’s color coding. When the hood is down, the piping makes it look like the sweater has a shallow v-neck, similar to the actual uniforms worn by Captain Picard and his crew.

Robocop Cardboard Cosplay: I’d Make That for a Dollar

This amazing Robocop cosplay outfit is made completely out of cardboard. And as you can see in the video below, it is easy to wear and move around in.

The costume made an appearance at Dragon-Con and Comic-Con 2013. It was designed and built by ComicBookGirl19 along with her friend Tyson, and it’s completely awesome. It is very convincing when you see this costume out and about so you could be forgiven if you think that Detroit’s finest cop is walking down the street with you. If you needed further proof that you can do amazing things with cardboard, here it is…

Now I hope they try to make a cardboard ED-209. That I would like to see.

Borderlands Masks Are Perfect for Gamer Geek Halloween Costumes

If you’re a procrastinator like me you probably haven’t even thought about what you’re going to dress up as for Halloween yet. Don’t fear, there are still plenty of cool costumes out there that you won’t be embarrassed to wear to a Halloween party. ThinkGeek has some cool Borderlands masks that will make you look like a character from one of the coolest video games franchises around.

borderlandsmskmagnify

Two different masks are available including the iconic psycho bandit or Handsome Jack. Both masks are made of latex. The masks are held on the face using an elastic band. The Psycho Bandit also has elastic over the top of the head to help keep it in place.

Both masks are available right now for $29.99(USD). The mask is all you get, so you’ll have to come up with the rest of the costume on your own. If you go with the Psycho Bandit, you’ll probably need a bald wig, some LED eyeballs, a buzz-axe prop and six-pack abs to complete the look. On the other hand, all you need for Handsome Jack is a dapper hairdo and a suit.

Tired of dressing up as a sexy nurse every Halloween? Then do something different this year and dress up as a sexy slice of pizza, a sexy carton of French fries, or even a sexy (and definitely not stinky) skunk instead.

Ultimate Iron Man Armor is… Uhm… Ultimate

This is the Ultimate Iron Man cosplay that you have been waiting for fans. Even Tony Stark himself would be envious of this armor. I know I am and I am not a billionaire armor maker like Stark. Hey, why build it when you can buy it? Sadly, this armor is not for sale. However, it is still awesome.

This amazing Ultimate Iron Man armor is the work of Riccardo Montico aka Blacklink2811 from Italy’s Prizmatec Cosplay. It was handcrafted, which means that this guy is a genius. A real world Tony Stark. Also, he has the most awesome sister in the world, who happens to be dressed as War Machine on the right.

Next, Riccardo will probably make it fly, become a billionaire playboy and make some movies. He is already hanging out with War Machine, after all.

Amazing Spider-Man & Peter Parker Cosplay: Wears Whatever a Spider-Man Can

Cosplayer Todd Whalen had his pictures taken as he dressed up as two fictional characters, though you might not recognize one without the other. It’s Peter Parker and his alter ego Spider-Man! But with the help of photographer Meg Super, Todd did manage to convey a Peter Parker vibe. Plus his Spidey costume is great.

Todd also brought his wife Lisa to his photoshoot. She acted as Gwen Stacy. Todd tempted fate even more by hanging out at a bridge. Good thing the Green Goblin wasn’t around.
