The Child Catcher
Eye For Detail: The lollipops add that extra layer of creepiness.

Prince Nuada
The Costume: Last of the Hellboyers, here’s Princess Nuala’s evil bro. The outfit cost a staggering £35 – impressive considering how great the final thing looks.
Player Emma says it’s still not quite done yet – she wants to add some armour.
Eye For Detail: The make-up is great.

Superman
The Costume: It may look shop bought, but this striking number is entirely self-made. The cape and the S took the longest to complete.
Player Aslom considers himself a bit of a Samaritan, saying he admires Supes’ “infinite sense of compassion”.
Eye For Detail: The padded muscles are impressive.

Ghostbuster
The Costume: Alright we lied, this is the most expensive outfit on display here, costing just a shave under a grand at £800. It took a year to complete.
Eye For Detail: Player Mark must’ve gutted a computer, he’s got a motherboard attached to his belt. Great elbow pads, too.

The Joker Again
The Costume: How often do you see somebody wearing a purple coat? Not very, which meant player Ben spent most of his time searching for one.
The entire thing cost £100.
Eye For Detail: Those socks are about as nuts as the man himself.

Jill Valentine
The Costume: Resident Evil: Apocalypse ’s S.T.A.R.S. unit member gets the cosplay treatment. The shoulder pads took the longest – a grand six hours of hard work. Paid off, though.
Eye For Detail: The hat’s bang on.

Padme
The Costume: Another eBay bought Star Wars tribute. Sarah likes original Padme because “she is gorgeous”. Can’t argue with that.
Eye For Detail: We want a cape just like that.

Alice Cullen
The Costume: Victoria and Tiffany dress up as Twilight ’s resident future-seeing vamp.
Eye For Detail: Victoria’s baseball is a fun nod to the first flick’s stand-out scene.

Jazz
The Costume: Another Transformer, this one put together for a fiver. We imagine she had to bribe Tesco for an armload of their empty boxes.
Eye For Detail: Loving the Transformers logo on the chest plate there, as well as the foot flaps.

Starscream
The Costume: A femme fatale version of the Decepticon. Who says you need millions of dollars to do Transformers proud? Isa looks great in just a bit of lycra and cardboard.
Eye For Detail: Great accessories here, stand-outs being the very cool boots and the Tank Girl-style goggles.
