Lots of people are excited because Gwendoline Christie (famous for playing Brienne of Tarth) has been cast in the role of Captain Phasma. While that is awesome, personally I’m excited that this makes non-gendered imperial armor canon.

Star Wars has been pretty hit or miss in the past and I’m not making any speculations on the rest of the upcoming releases – but it appears that this is a glorious victory.

This was part of a giant diorama in Wisconsin’s House on the Rock. Kudos for including a female knight, but… were the funnels really necessary?

It is my understanding that the House on the Rock has many… oddities.

But nowhere in their promotional materials did they mention that they the most terrifying and baffling boobplate ever designed.  Ordinarily I’d wonder why the male knight is okay, and the female knight fallen.

But in this case I think the armor explains it.

Squirrel armor is finished. This is just the companion prop for my future Warrior Squirrel Girl cosplay. I’m pretty happy with it. Materials are worbla and craft foam. Hand painted by me as well.

After that last post I think we all need something that both showcases cool armor and amazing cuteness.  So here you go.
