Builders of Cosplay

On today’s show, we dive into all the wonderful announcements from this past San Diego Comic-Con, chat about some of the amazing cosplay that was all over the news, and kick ourselves for not going this year. We also announce that we are taking a break from shows for the month of August, so Anthony […]

This month is all about safety at cons, as we come off a crazy couple of months. After a con-goer was arrested in Phoenix for making threats, more than one event has since banned the sale of prop weapons on the conference floor. To get a better take on what this might mean for the […]

Today on the show, Anthony takes us through what we need to start molding and casting our own props. He wanted to start out small, so he had this idea for a hand-held fireball to help with the illusion of spellcasting during his cosplays. We have some shots below, but for the full effect, check […]

Yes it’s that time of the year, when we are asked for our Christmas list and scramble to name something that’s not $200. Anthony has come up with a decent-sized list of cool tools and equipment that […]

Today on the show, Anthony and Jason give a rundown on a few of the major materials that are typically used in most cosplay prop builds, […]

We welcome two amazing cosplayers to the BoC studio – Jess (AKA: MaidofMight) and Luc (AKA: BboySpiderman)! These folks have been cosplaying for awhile now, and have ramped their game up a lot over the years. From making costumes and props to buying bits and pieces when they need to, Luc and Jess bring us […]

Our first show! Today, we talk about cosplay in general – what it is (and what it isn’t), and how anyone can get started with their first cosplay! We also go over what you can expect from the Builders of Cosplay shows in the future. Our goal here is to provide you access to some […]
