#ThrowbackThursday to the amazing cosplayers who showed up at #FANEXPOCleveland 2025 🧡 Which cosplay from last year is still living rent-free in your brain?

A cosplayer with bright red face and body makeup and small horn prosthetics smiles while posing with two fingers at their temple. They wear red-and-black armor with leather straps, metal details, and a belt with round gold medallions, and hold a large battle axe resting across their shoulders in a convention hallway. Two cosplayers pose side-by-side in matching tactical outfits: black berets with a silver winged emblem, black tank tops, gray cargo pants with suspenders, and dog tags. Each holds a large sci-fi style prop gun, and one wears a FAN EXPO badge on a lanyard. They stand in a carpeted convention corridor against a beige wall.
