Thanks to Cari Burns, we got to see some of the fantastic cosplay at this year’s event.

This last weekend was one of the biggest conventions in North America, New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2021. Due to COVID, this was the first event in almost two years. The crowds were lighter due to health restrictions, but they still had a ton of pop culture fans flocking to the Javits Center in Manhattan.
GinGee Girls, who creates custom etched glassware and mugs with some of your favorite characters, attended the show and to commemorate the event, they created this commemorative glass.
They were also generous enough to let us use some of their photos:

As a movie, Cruella was mediocre at best, but the array of costumes was inspirational. It’s the costuming that made the show memorable (was there even a real storyline?). I think we will find several Cruella cosplays on the conventions floor and Cruella Halloween costumes knocking on our doors.

One of the most popular items to create a cosplay costume out of is EVA Foam. It is extremely versatile and easy to acquire. This material can be used to craft everything from accessories to complete suits of armor.
You are probably more familiar with it than you realize. It is commonly found in yoga mats, floor mats, and sports gear.
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam is a firm, high-density foam that is softer and more rubbery than many of the standard polyethylene foams. It is also a known as a closed cell foam. EVA foam is responsive as it squishes when you press it and returns to its normal state almost instantly.
Ideally, you want to go with SKS foam. It has a nice density, is easy to work worth, has clean edges, and comes in a variety of thicknesses. It is also a nice, light neutral color, which makes finishing your project a lot easier.
If you are a first-time crafter, you might want to start with the cheaper option.
You’ve probably seen packages of them at your local stores. They are marketed as floor padding for garages, playrooms or exercise mats. These are (typically) EVA foam. This is a lower grade foam than the SKS mentioned above, but it is easy to find and you can start working with it now.
The problems with this foam are:
‘Tokyo Revengers‘ is sure to be the next hot cosplay and you are going to want the perfect wig to complete the cosplay look.
‘Tokyo Revengers’ is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ken Wakui. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since March 2017. An anime television series adaptation by Liden Films aired from April to September 2021, while a live-action film adaptation was released in Japan in July 2021.

I owe RoleCosplay.com a few apologies for assuming they were like the other companies out there, they are not.
When I had first heard their name and visited their shop, I had made the assumption that they were like several of the other cosplay costuming sources out there. Their prices and lead times were good, some of them almost too good, so I mentally lumped them in with the rest. I assumed they would be Halloween-type costumes of low quality, with long actual lead times or no delivery and that the sizes would be way off.
I was wrong!
They approached us for a partnership and after careful consideration, I hesitantly accepted. They even offered me a free cosplay to review, and I got to choose from anything on the site. After some back and forth, we reached an agreement and I settled on the Doctor Who David Tennant Suit. I selected it for my son, as I am behind the camera and keyboard so often I do not get many chances to cosplay. When I’m behind the camera, I like a lot of flexibility, which many cosplays are not designed for.
You can check out the review here, but in general, we were VERY impressed. It was a good quality costume, it arrived quickly, and came exactly as ordered. I foolishly assumed that, like many overseas purchases, you needed to order a size larger. I did not. The sizing on this suit was accurate.

A few weeks ago, I received a David Tennant Doctor Who Cosplay from RoleCosplay.com for review, I had told them I would give an honest review of the costume. I was not going to pull any punches and would be totally honest on what we thought.
I was impressed.
We pulled it out of the package and it looked exactly like it was supposed to.
This cosplay is good quality. This Doctor Who suit is about on par with the quality of regular suit you would get at your local big box store, such as Walmart, around Easter. The quality is good enough that you could pass it off as a proper suit in a pinch.
The stitchwork is consistent and does not run off an edge or miss areas. The material is sturdy and cut evenly. Part of the reason we chose this suit is because the material has lines in it, if the material was cut crooked, it would be very easy to tell at a glance.
The pants are not lined, like a normal suit would have, but they have large functioning pockets in the front and back. The fly zipper is lower quality and fine-toothed, which means it may need to be replaced after frequent use, but it is placed quite well with no puckering at the groin. The belt loops are large enough for an average belt.
The jacket is lined and has well-placed, well-sewn in shoulder pads. There is one inner liner pocket, one breast pocket, and two lower waist high pockets that are all fully functional.
As this was ordered from overseas, I made the assumption that the sizing would be off as frequently happens, and ordered one size larger than what was required. I more than pleased to find that the sizing was accurate and the suit I requested was actually too large.
As I am usually behind the camera and not in front of it or wearing cosplay consistently, I chose an outfit for my son who regularly cosplays at conventions and charity events. He’s constantly growing so this gives us the chance to use the cosplay costume multiple times before he outgrows it and it should fit perfectly by the time Chicago Tardis comes around.
Overall, I quite like the suit. The boy says it is comfortable and he is delighted to have another Doctor Tennant suit as he had outgrown his previous one. This is a cosplay costume that will get a lot of use and I think it will wear quite well.
The only negative I have is that the color is a little off, it’s not as brown as the actual suit. However throughout the show different lighting showed it more grey while others showed more brown.
