Atomic Wonder Woman
Photographed by Adam Patrick Murray
This is the single most epic Wonder Woman cosplay I've ever seen. Meagan Marie never fails to impress, but this time, she's outdone herself. Completely amazing!
"Ready, set, ATOMIC! I instantly fell in love with Atomic Wonder Woman’s design when this statue was revealed. Although a few people didn’t recognize who I was without help from the belt buckle, this costume was received really well at SDCC. And it was super comfortable!
I’ll do a comprehensive blog with construction notes at a later date, but the majority of the armor is made from Worbla and EVA foam. The concrete is expandable insulation foam coated with textured spray paint. You can check out some of my progress photos here!
Overall I’m really happy with how this costume turned out. I’m going to make a few small adjustments before I wear it again, like taking in the top so it fits better."

Weapons: Mjolnir
"I wanted Thor's hammer (Mjolnir), but I wasn't going to accept any old boring plastic prop. I needed something with a little more POP.
I worked with Staci Elaan to build this hammer that has a solid state tesla coil inside. When you push the button, 80,000 volts of electricity arc from the top.
It will light up any flourescent bulbs around, scare children, and leave the smell of ozone behind. It is super fun!
You can read TONS of details here: http://wp.me/pk3lN-psO
Watch the build video here."

Weapons: Gravity Gun
Gravity Gun (from Half-Life 2)
Sure, you could just buy a Gravity Gun online, but wheres the fun in that? Michelle Sleeper walks through how to create one from scratch on her blog. It looks like more work than I would ever put into a costume, but I'm sure there are many of you out there for whom the challenge would be the point for the project.

Weapons: Terran Marine Rifle
This is Lee Houlgate, a cosplayer and
cosplay constructor living in the UK, he wants to build the awesomest
StarCraft marine mech suit cosplay known to man. The suit itself will be
an impressive 8' feet tall and for some perspective, the gun alone is
5' feet in length.
He plans on having this steel /
aluminium suit built to the hilt with robotics that increases his
strength, NERF gun weaponry (for blasting), and all the gadgets and
gizmos any space marine would have or ever need. If you are interested
in helping him out, check out his kickstarter project to learn more.

Weapons: Skyrim Axe
Steel Axe (from Skyrim) by Volpin Props
"There are all sorts of intricate and complicated weapons in Skyrim, but the Steel weapons - low level though they may be - possessed a very cool concentric circle pattern to them that I thought looked particularly awesome. When a client asked me if I had any interest in making the one-handed axe, I jumped on the project."

Weapons: Spider Splicer Hooks
Spider Splicer Hook Replicas (from Bioshock) by Jace

The replicas are made from wood and imitation leather and painted to create the weathered and rusty look. They are handmade to size when you order so they’re custom too which makes them even more awesome.
