Any time we get a badass version of Peach, I’m happy. Look at the details here—the perfectly coiffed wig, the mushrooms emblazoned on the cape clips, the adorable little crown. This is just so beautiful.

Garrus and Shepard stand in a prom pose.

I’m biased (Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time) but boy this is just so good. Look at Garrus’ handsome face! Look at that smirk on Shepard, the scratches on her armor! This is top-tier.

Baylen Skoll and Shin Hati, Ahsoka

Baylen Skoll and Shin Hati, Ahsoka

Baylan and Shin stand together.
Image: Mineralblu

Hell yeah, everyone’s favorite adoptive father/daughter duo! I looked into cosplaying Shin a few months ago, and just the inside-out stitching on her chest piece looked daunting, so this is really impressive to see. And Baylen really captures the late Ray Stevenson’s scowl.

Reylor Moon, Sailor Moon/Star Wars

Reylor Moon wields a pink lightsaber and holds a cat-eared BB-8.

The crossover event of the century: Rey meetes Sailor moon, pink lightsaber and all. This whips so much ass. Look at the cat ears on BB-8!

Juri, Street Fighter

Juri, Street Fighter

Juri poses with her arms outstretched.
Image: Mineralblu

You show an deep understanding of a character when your cosplay riffs slightly on their design—Juri probably wouldn’t wear a belly ring to fight because ouch, but casual Juri hanging out at a ‘con definitely would.

Mister Sinister

Mister Sinister

Mister Sinister stands with his hands on his hips.
Image: Mineralblu

This is one of those costumes where I had to do several takes to figure out what was real, what was prosthetics, or what was just a giant mask/head piece. This is wild.

Mad Moxxi, Borderlands 3

Mad Moxxi, Borderlands 3

Mad Moxxi stands with one hand on her hip.
Image: Mineralblu

I love Borderlands cosplayers, solely because I think the visual style of the games translates so well into the real world. The cel-shaded details on her face, body, and gun are just perfect.

Master Chief, Halo

Master Chief, Halo

Master Chief wields a Needler.
Image: Mineralblu

Look at that weathered Mjolnir armor, the reflectiveness of the visor, how those Needler crystals glisten—you could tell me this was the armor from the Halo TV series and I’d believe you.

Everyone’s favorite bad boy gunslinger looks absolutely incredible here, from the smirk of his little mouth to the texture on his vest. This is incredibly high quality, and beautifully made.

Mystique, X-Men

Mystique poses for the camera.
Image: Mineralblu

Body paint is always tough to work with, but look at how cleverly she uses white as highlight on her face! I love makeup! This is so good.
