Cosplay Feature: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Cosplay Feature: Victoria Schmidt's Tron Legacy Dress

One of the big things going around the cosplay community is SyFy's new show "Heroes of Cosplay". The show focuses on several cosplayers as they travel to conventions and mainly compete in the competitions held there. I'm not too entirely in favor of the show as it being a reality show, it portrays these immensely talented people as somewhat bitchy/catty which in all honesty is the exact OPPOSITE of how they are in real life which is down to earth and super sweet. Having met 2 of them in person and interacting with some online I know this for a FACT.

All that aside it does show some of the amazing skill sets that each cosplayer has and one outfit I loved seeing was Victoria's Tron Legacy inspired dress. Not only does she look fabulous in it but the amount of work is just so inspiring. It was especially interesting how the light-up parts were handled by her boyfriend Jinyo (who is a complete badass I might add) from wiring underneath the dress and going through the back of her heels. Plus (and I may get the number wrong so oops on my part) it took about I want to say over 15 AA batteries to light the whole thing. Light up glow tape was used for the main sections of the dress as were little lights alongside the trim at the bottom of the dress. I also remember from seeing it on the show that the dress was detachable along the bottom so it could look a little bit shorter which was so cool to see.

Turns out that this version of the dress on the show was version 3.0 as Jinyo puts it in his little blog where I read up about the outfit. Having came up with the design initially, it seems that he wasn't satisfied with the first 2. Not that this is a bad thing considering my Nightwing has undergone 2 remakes/upgrades as of now and I couldn't be happier. This dress has its original form underneath the detachable part as mentioned above which at first makes it look like an incredible ball gown. The heart shaped disk prop was also a very nice addition!

I won't go into the crazy details so instead i'll provide pictures of it!! Note that these are all of version 2.0 of the dress (I think). Props to Victoria and Jinyo for making a totally awesome dress! Oh and it should be stated that Victoria LOVES TRON so hence why this dress was made :).
