My Hydra-Stomper won!

I had been working on this cosplay for 2 years, now that I finally finished it and the jetpack, I entered it in the @fanexposf 2025 Craftsmanship Cup and I won best Journeyman!!
This is from Marvel's What if?... S01E01
I'm hoping to get more pics back from the professional photogs.

Well done! Looks heavy? Is it comfortable?

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-06 22:56

Thank you! It's only 40lbs, 16 of which is the jet pack. I did my best to build it so I could walk comfortably.

Thank you!!

This entire “hiding your post history” fucking blows.

Usually it’s because people try to hide the hateful disinformation they like pushing.

But, in this case, it prevents me from potentially seeing the previous posts of other costumes and costumes builds from OP.

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 03:42

Hiding my history hides my past posts? I'm just hiding it cus of the 18+ content I follow with this account. Pleas message me as I'm relatively new to redit, would like to know more on how that works

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 04:08

How about now? I just made some changes

IRideMoreThanYou2025-12-07 05:01

See! See!! This is what I’m talking about! The jet pack testing was frickin’ cool!

Thanks for sharing!

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 05:16

Thanks for letting me know, didn't realize I was disallowing past posts 🙂

jaxspider2025-12-07 03:33

Fantastic stuff.

Unfortunately the way you have your settings I cant look at your history to see if you've done anything else. And there is no mention of any of your social accounts. :/

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 03:44

It doesn't show my Instagram accounts? Any recommendations on how to adjust it? I'm fairly new to redit

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 04:07

How about now? I just made some changes

jaxspider2025-12-07 04:16

Whatever you did it worked. I can see your history now. And all the awesome posts you've made, going to check them out after dinner.

As for your profile I see this "Let's try this again Offical reddit account for my cosplay (it wouldn't let me change the user name of the others) I mostly post on Ig."

Thanks for taking the time to resolve this!

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 04:40

Lol I should probably update the bio lol I had created an account about a year ago and I really didn't know what I was doing.

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 04:07

How about now? I just made some changes

Grayx_28872025-12-07 08:09

Cool.

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 08:11

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 09:29

Thanks!!

SkekJay2025-12-07 13:52

This feels like such a no shit for the judges, it'd be weird if they didn't declare you the winner. Good job

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 18:44

Thank you, to be fair, there were other really good entries in the category!

SkekJay2025-12-07 19:24

That may be true, but there's just something more impressive when people make cosplaya out of larger characters look good

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 19:43

Thanks again!

SkekJay2025-12-07 19:58

No problem! Keep the good work

General_Snow2412025-12-07 15:34

Congratulations on the win, but did you solve the freezing problem?

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-07 18:45

Yeah know, it still sticks occasionally lol

Wonderful_Mind_20392025-12-07 21:43

Awesome

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-08 06:57

Thanks!!

YourFellowMiguelo2025-12-09 07:47

That's awesome! It looks great!!

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-17 22:47

Thank you!!

wake30002025-12-10 06:26

Looks sick! Do you have any videos of you walking with it? It looks heavy, curious to see how it moves.

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-17 22:48

Thanks! Yeah, I have a video of, me walking onstage for the contest on my Instagram page. I was intentionally stomping on my way onto stage, but really, it's not too bad to walk in.

Darth-Skye2025-12-17 20:52

This is so amazing! I am going to attempt to make a smaller scale version for my nephew for the DragonCon parade. May the odds be ever in my favor. lol.

jokerswildecosplay2025-12-17 22:46

Do it!! Can't wait to see it! @mellomindcosplay has a great template he just made for the helmet.
