COSPLAY AT TORONTO COMIC CON 2014

TORONTO COMIC CON 2014 "CONVENTION ATTENTION"

Well, Toronto Comic Con has come and gone, the costumes were worn, make up washed off and fun was had. But that doesn't mean that the convention attention has to stop. I got to see some pretty awesome cosplay while I was there and have compiled them here for all to enjoy.  These are my favourite cosplays of the convention; they are not in any particular order, they are costumes that stood out to me for various reasons, including craftsmanship, overall look and the cosplayers willingness to stay in character the entire time.

I loved the addition of the little stuffed Bear as her brother. Super cute

I was in awe of this girl's head piece. Really amazing work on that, very true to the show

This costume commanded attention. Mask was great, stance of this German soldier, henchman of Rasputin spot on.

Another one of the younger generation showing us his mad skills. This kid was all over the Deapool poses and all his accessories were fantastic.

Loved the flames that catch your eye from across the room. Very effective.




Lady Thor and Loki from Marvel Comics, cosplayed by Sarah Jean Maefs and www.facebook.com/LokiGodOfCosplay

These two ladies looked fierce and had stellar props, and costumes were fantastic. Loki even shared a few tips

Really impressive to see this guy tromping through the convention hall. He looked like he had the weight of the suit as he walked along. Lovely build.


Ranger of Gondor from Lord of the Rings, cosplayed by Joshua Mendoza

His archery poses were great and there was never not a flock of photo lemmings around him.


Ace Ventura from Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, cosplayed by Simon Fontaine

This guy had to be my favourite of the whole weekend. not only did he nail the costume, he NEVER dropped character once, from the floor, to posing, to the escalator on his way out. It was hilarious to watch him conversing with Saruman trying to find his pet Warg.
