Cosplay Feature: SpookyMoogs Bikini Sonic!

Photo by Togith Photography It's the day after Christmas, winter has started and I'm ending the year with a bikini cosplay? No wait that sounds about right for me! I came across SpookyMoogs awhile ago when it came to searching for new people to share and her bikini take on the world's fastest hedgehog caught my eye, For starters, I love the wig choice being your standard fare with the long portions on the sides plus the cute little ears on the top. There's one shot you'll see later that really shows off the length of the wig extending out from the back. The ears are super small in their size & length. Best bet is she may have utilized the headband trick for having them stay in place. Then you get to the bikini portion itself which looks to be a mixture of 2 pieces. There's a one piece portion that has some space opening up on both Moogs' front and back sides. Then it looks like the normal chest piece is separate based on how it's layered next to the ...

STRUCK FIRST: Mina Starks as Starfire!

Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

I've been holding on to this cosplay to write about for a really REALLY long time. Since Katsucon to be exact. When Mina Starks was gonna create Starfire's latest look in the comics, you KNOW I had to jump in on writing about it. The cosplay is of course on the skimpy side but really looks comfortable just from the shots alone. Purple is the main color for the cosplay as we got both small shorts and a crop top that is perfect as an end result. Going more in depth, the purple top has various silver lines going across it with a single green jewel placed dead center on Mina's chest. Her arms are mostly covered in purple until you get to about the elbows. That's where the silver sleeves come in which also provide some hand coverage too!

Mina's shorts are like....super freaking short here XD. We got a silver like belt before more purple appears. The silver section also has another green jewel placed in its center. Also, the cut out holes on the crop top are clean and in the exact spots as in the official comic outfit :D. Lastly, Mina has long leggings that are purple with silver lines both traveling up as well as along the edge/trim. Shoes look to be attached here as well as they're fully covered and look connected to the leggings.

For the wig, Mina has a beautiful long one which is colored in a mixture of red and orange. Pretty spot on wouldn't you say? Starfire's pet Silky also makes an appearance in the shot on the right. I mentioned at the top that this was a long time planned and unfortunately I don't have many shots of the full costumed Starfire. To help with that, I've added in shots of Mina in a more casual style for her. Complete with a Nightwing shirt, knee high socks and red shorts. Mina's smile overall is just super infectious and I can tell she had a lot of fun wearing Starfire. Check out the shots down below!
