For those that do not know, cosplay is the general term for dressing up as a character in whatever fandom you like, to both show support and adoration of that character.  It comes from the Japanese method of cutting two words in half to make a portmanteau, so when you play around in a costume, "costume play" becomes "cosplay."  People have taken to cosplay at conventions and other nerdy “festivals” of sorts, to show off and get some attention.  For Metroid Week, I really wanted to find some good cosplay pics of a multitude of characters from the games.  Whether it be Mother Brain, Kraid, Ridley, a Metroid, etc.  Problem was that it seems that all anybody ever dresses up as is Samus Aran, which is usually good as she is a beautiful lady.  On some bad cases you get stuff like this:

But the rest of the time, good costumes were to be found.  Without further ado, this is a list of the top ten Samus Cosplays that I could find searching around on the internet.  If you know of some others, feel free to post them in the comments!

 

These are in no particular order:

In no particular order? To me, it seemed more like the best were at the bottom. Anyway, some pretty impressive costumes there, though I think I've seen the best already.

The fourth one looks kind of out of character. I dont think Samus would be posing sexy like that.
