The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Halloween costumes are rolling in for the kids! And by kids, I mean me. I'll take two enforcer of the First Order voice-changing masks, version Stormtrooper for myself, and Captain Phasma...

The good news is this is the first ever Standard Line version of a Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Stormtrooper Helmet, and you can have one for $200 ($249.95 if you wait until October 1 to order). That bad news...

You've seen Saber Forge's custom made lightsabers around here before. But now the company is taking to Kickstarter to give you the opportunity to do the custom making yourself. Their Adaptive Saber Parts (ASP) are an...

Ethan Oakes specializes in woodworking and weapon designs. Here you see both of his specialties in action with the Oakes Design line of war hammers. Some are made of hard woods, such as oak, and deemed battle-ready, while...

Blodlaetere is a broken-back seax an Anglo-Saxon warrior might have used to wreak havoc during the Viking Age. And knifemaker Matthew Berry has spared no detail in his hand forging of both its 19-1/4" blade, and the nearly...

You say you dig steampunk culture, but do you dig it enough to live it? Like, when you receive the invitation to your golden boy cousin Dickie's wedding with the "Black Tie" designation stamped across it, do you head...

Why throw your hat in the ring for the title of Most Badass Cosplayer when you can show up in Rawring Craft's Bruiser Gauntlet and just whack the shit out of anyone who disputes your claim to it? The sci-fi arm guard...

A dude wearing jewelry. It's a thin line to walk if you're not pierced or a rapper. Or married, I guess, though since I don't think of handcuffs as jewelry, I don't really think of a wedding ring as jewelry either. But...

I think it's fair to say that any sword that calls itself The Dragon Evolution Sword, but advertises that it features a double dragon pommel..."with letter opener" is not the type of sword that could actually slay a dragon...

Vader one day, Yoda the next. Go from the Dark Side to the Light, or go the other way for some cookies, with Saberz's Oracle, a lightsaber fitted with the company's Prizm tech to produce a rainbow of colors and 3 different...

Well I guess it's technically the "Batman Mask As It Could Be in 1920" according to designer Bob Basset, but look at that laced-up backside. And its ingredients: leather; brass; and mesh. I think this Dark Knight has...

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. I know because only Santa could make a hidden wristband that allows me to launch fireballs from my open palm, and only Santa could make it available for my mama to purchase for me...

A scorpion in appearance, a fantasy knife in name, a DEATH STALKER in action. BladesUSA has your cosplay night, your Halloween costume, and your one-man S&M show covered...

Sorry dudes, the Mega Man Mega Buster gun replica is still in ThinkGeek's scheming stages. Full production of this beta version is not expected to hit shelves...and the arm-cannon-hungry hands of holiday shoppers...until...

The cool thing about this DIY submachine gun is that while there is a 98% chance it will paper cut up your hands during assembly, there is a 0% chance it will blow your head off or inadvertently light up your mama's brand...

Assassin's Creed fan or not, everyone needs a gauntlet with a hidden retractable blade. The Edward Kenway Black Flag replica shown here includes one that's spring-loaded with switchblade-style action. The gauntlet itself...

I don't know if the Pantera Claw looks cooler than the Wolverine-esque claw we previously showed you--I should have had the forethought to consult on this topic with the bearded grandmaster modeling the latter version--but...

I don't need a knuckle knife topped with a skull to prove I'm a fantasy master, just the sworn testimony of my ex-girlfriends. Come on ladies, tell them about the fiery passion of Igor the Dragon...

I like it when objects can wholly encompass their descriptors both literally and figuratively. For example, previously dragons were hot due solely to their deadly breath of fire. But then Canada Cosplay decided to turn...

So this Dark Knight isn't quite like the Dark Knight you and I are used to. Well, I mean I guess he would be if our Dark Knight lived in a 16th century video game and were as into the color red and the world of S&M as...

Do I want a 5-foot foam sword with a 45-inch blade and beaming blue LEDs? Uh, does Cartman want some Cheesy Poofs? More importantly, is a rhetorical question referencing South Park still culturally relevant?...
