The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
Just a few things to catch up on this week:

Magic: The Gathering’s Commander decks are going to be released soon, and as usual with Magic, the women commanders are something of a mixed bag. Presented here without comment. If you want to learn more about these characters and the stories behind them check here.
Bonus male empowerment:
Sadly, while taken as a whole Magic is a major mixed bag, it’s pretty clear from a casual examination of their site shows which side of the fence the marketing crew is on:
Sigh.

A reminder that we’re currently running our Halloween Costume Contest. If you have an idea for a terrifying (in a good way) outfit for an Overwatch heroine or a sexy outfit for one of the boys, we encourage you to enter.
Competition is open until November 20 and we encourage people of all art styles and skill levels to enter. Full details at the link above.

I’m really happy to find a game with a female hero who has a decent outfit 🙂
I really do love this as an example of a game that has all the trappings of an old school fantasy adventure game with none of the ridiculous outfits.
Available on Steam and to be featured on our Curator page soon!

Just in time for Halloween, Sideshow Collectables presents the Hellraiser Hell Priestess…
I know it’s not armor but I HAD to Bingo it. I wasn’t sure how to call the garter/stocking leather boot-ish things that don’t actually go all the way down the leg. I also debated on the Skin tight square and the “How does it attach” (mostly due to those aforementioned stocking things) Given it’s Hellraiser, “Sharp Ornamental edges…” was kind of a given.
It’s kind of amazing that even the 90s comic was more committed to genuine “in your face” body horror and some originality that gave Clive Barker’s Cenobites their charm… this one looks like they decided that what horror fans really want is Lady Death cosplaying as Pinhead with a tiny bit of body horror hidden away on her back.
So it doesn’t scare anyone who wants to fap to it.

Killer Instinct continues to be a mixed bag, but in Sadira’s case I really do feel that rather than projecting the idea of her using feminine sexuality for evil, she just looks like she was in a rush and forgot her pants.
Personally, especially since it’s Halloween season, I wish they’d focus on more female characters who had that kind of charisma and appeal that Hisako does.

I suddenly don’t hate Hal’s Injustice costume.
網タイツ・・・！私にはこう見えますよ。
This is indisputably a far more dynamic, exciting and empowering interpretation of Green Lantern’s costume than the menu graphics in Injustice are going with:
DC Comics, Warner Bros, Netherworld Studios… I’m just saying I think you’re sitting on a potential gold mine with DLC costumes here.
