It’s cold outside. I live in Florida, and though most people wouldn’t consider the temperature that bad here, it still feels cold to me. And it got me thinking about characters that have snow/ice powers, or even just have that as a theme. It’s visually distinct, certainly. Which dovetails quite nicely into cosplay.
Sometimes, a pop culture figure hits the scene—either because they feature in a new project, or even an adaptation—and instantly signals that they’re going to be a cosplay mainstay.
Last year, we did a list of five easy-to-cosplay aliens from Doctor Who. But some people like difficult cosplays. So, we’re revisiting this topic, but a little differently. I’ve found four quite complex aliens from New Who. Like, these are intense.
Do you want to cosplay more, but none of the usual characters appeal to you? Well, there’s a whole other medium of art perfect for cosplaying—and it feels more and more like it’s getting attention.

We’re about to travel into 2024. That makes us time travelers!
With the new season/series of Doctor Who releasing, it seems like as good a time as any to go over how amazing Doctor Who is for cosplaying. Because the series almost always uses humanoids for its species and has almost always been working from a fairly limited set of options, its designs are perfect for the average cosplayer.
Have you ever met someone interested in cosplay who has a bunch of fancy tools and materials—probably hundreds of dollars’ worth—but never seems to use them?
It’s hot outside. We’re in the depth of summer, and the heat is beating down. And there’s nothing much to do about it day-to-day except keep cool, drink water, and stay out of direct sunlight. But we can have a little fun with it—a little morbid humor.
Halloween is almost upon us. A time when costumes are not only expected but practically mandated. A time when a cosplayer has infinite opportunities to show off. There’s always a place where other like-minded partiers would deeply enjoy the craft of spookiness.
