Silent Hill – Pyramid Head Cosplay Costumes

One of the most creepy and bizarre characters in video game history – the violent and sadistic Pyramid Head – is a favorite amongst survival-horror and Silent Hill fans.

Batsu Sai’s Pyramid Head Costume nails the over sized head and weaponry. The “Pyramid Head” and weapon both represent well, retaining the same gritty look and overbearing size as the video game. Gamers would be hard pressed to find a better representation of Pyramid Head.

Soul Caliber – Nightmare Costume

Soul Caliber features numerous unique fighters with their own weapons. Nightmare – always a fan-favorite – features a giant, mutated arm and the massive sword called the Soul Edge.

Yui’s Nightmare costume design impresses on a lot of levels. While the armor’s color may be a bit brighter than the video game, every other aspect, right down to the creepy eye in the Soul Edge, looks incredible. The mold of the armor and helmet look exactly like the video game character, and the detail in Nightmare’s mutated and the Soul Edge look impressive even when up-close.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater – Naked Snake Crocodile Cap Costume

Here’s a case where a costume does not have to feature hours upon hours of painstaking detail to impress. This costume is based off Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater, where players can actually use a “Crocodile Cap” as a disguise in the water.

This costume design by Jiro428 impresses for its wow-factor and hilarity. The croc’s mouth extends a good 2-3 feet, making it stand out immediately. Unlike most Metal Gear Solid costumes, Jiro428′s design stands out by focusing on Metal Gear’s unique sense of humor.

Without the Crocodile Cap, this Halloween / Cosplay costume would all too easily blend in with all the other anime and video game soldier cosplay out there. But with the cap, it stands out as one of the most memorable video game costumes ever designed.

Bioshock – Bouncer Big Daddy Costume

The “Big Daddy” helped Bioshock become one of the most memorable and endearing first-person shooters of all time. Big Daddies come in a number of varieties, but the “Bouncer” is featured on the cover of the game and is easily the most iconic.

Volpin crafted a truly jaw-dropping anime cosplay with this Bouncer Big Daddy design. The “dome” helmet shows impressive detail, from the bent bars surrounding the helmet to the bolts attaching it to the rest of the costume. The armor looks gritty and dirty, and the boots add six inches which helps to achieve the look of a terrifying, hulking beast. And, perhaps most impressive of all, the Big Daddy drill is hooked up to a real cordless drill and actually spins!
