Cosplay Feature: Renee4Atlanta's Ironheart!

Happy Halloween to you all! To end this month of features, I wanted to share this INCREDIBLE work by Renee4Atlanta that she helped create and wore at this past Dragon*Con not too long ago. Coming off of Ironheart's debut series, Renee took on the task to recreate the updated look and man is it intense! When you look at the photos, you can first find that of course Renee has a more comfy layer of clothing which the armor pieces are layered on top. From the top, Renee has the iconic Iron Man helmet which is colored red for the outer shell and the mask being a shiny silver shade. From the photos I did find, I don't know if the mask can actually come down or if Renee made this to showcase an open look. Getting down to the rest, you can see how some of the armor is segmented off/layered. Red looks to make up a good chunk of the outer layer whereas the inner portions are silver.

Product Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Retro Jacket by Hero Within!


I've certainly enjoyed my previous purchases from Apparel company Hero Within so when I was heard they landed licensing rights to Marvel themed products, I was certainly piqued. If you know me at all, I'm mostly a DC Comics biased guy but one Marvel property I certainly loved was the Guardians of the Galaxy. Star Lord, Rocket and the gang are pretty interesting and likable characters for sure! I had an idea that the guys over at HW would somewhat focus on items related to MCU specific characters, so just how were the Guardians going to pop up? Enter in the GotG themed Retro Jacket that I finally received last week after pre-ordering at NYCC in October! I was incredibly excited to wear this and oh man does it fit like a glove. It's definitely has that retro style with its smooth yet rough texture all around the jacket.

The cuffs and trim along the bottom are done in a different fabric style with super thin stripes around them. There's an interesting strap that wraps around the neck and snaps in place up in that area. Most likely to increase the warm feeling you can have when wearing this. What's also viewable is a breast-pocket and a small black label with "Guardians" printed in white. You can also see a pattern etched into the back and sleeves. Honestly the jacket could be perfect for a Star-Lord cosplay. I definitely felt that I looked like Chris Pratt while wearing this <3.

The inside of the jacket is where things get pretty. It's lined with a beautiful galaxy print and the movie logo as well. There's also a few pockets on the inside and on the normal areas outside as well. Some snap straps can be seen on the back. Definitely has that retro/90s vibe and I love it so much! Check out these other pics!






This is yet another piece from the Hero Within catalog that fans of the property will surely love. There's also other pieces such as a Black Panther car coat, and an Avengers jacket! Check out these guys at the link down below!
