I was tagged in a post a few days before MCM Birmingham where a father was requesting cosplayers that were in attendance to send loving messages to his son that couldn’t attend the Con. Gideon had a brain tumor and recently had brain surgery and was in the hospital. This crushed me for a few reasons. First I was really considering not going to the Con because I was feeling not in the Con spirit. […]

Shots by Shinobi Cosplay Spotlight: Cosplay Dad UK
I first met Craig while Cosplaying as Yondu as his daughter was cosplaying Rocket at MCM Birmingham about a year ago. We had already been following each other on the gram. Since then we have become good friends and been a part of some awesome cosplay group team ups. We have been lucky enough to share the stage with real life Avengers while cosplaying our favourite characters. He suited up as Hawkeye. Hawkeye was obviously […]
Read MoreCaptain Marvel UK Premiere and Non-Spoiler Review: Brie Larson Kicks Ass
First let me say that this will be a spoiler-free review.I was lucky enough to be invited to the European premier of Captain Marvel in London on February 27, 2019. I thought it was the movie that Marvel needed as it intends to add more diverse lead characters. It was a great follow up to the Black Panther film. As a kid that grew up in the 90s I thoroughly enjoyed all the 90’s feels […]
Read More28 Days of Black Cosplay
Here we are and in the shortest month of the year which of course is also Black History Month. With that there have been many campaigns of people posting cosplayers of color with the hashtag #28daysofblackcosplay. It is awesome that people have decided to celebrate black cosplayers for the month of February and I have done just that also. Even though comics and such are dominated by white characters the number of color characters are trending upward. More and […]
Read MoreShots By Shinobi Cosplay Spotlight: Wonder Kat
I first saw Katya as Wonder Woman in an advertisement for MCM London I believe. I couldn’t believe just how great she looked. I honestly thought she could be Wonder Woman. I’m pretty sure Gal Gadot would approve. I think the next time I saw her and the first time we actually met she was cosplaying Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers and she absolutely smashed it. To be honest I haven’t seen a cosplay that […]
Read MoreMCM Comic Con London Review
Wow so another Con is on the books as MC Comic Con London is over and was all but a blur. Even with the cold it was amazing and what made it amazing was the people. There is always so much love in the cosplay community and each Con my cosplay family net gets a little bigger. It’s always great to see and speak with people no matter how brief. I always value also meeting […]
Read MoreMCM London Screening of the First Thirty-Eight Minutes of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
Another MCM Comic Con is done and in the books. One of my favourite moments during the Con was watching the first thirty-eight minutes of the Into the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Sony animated movie. I was blown away by what I saw and am thoroughly looking forward to seeing the entire film. The sneak peek ended up to the point where the scene starts at the end of the Venom movie. So it is […]
Read MoreMCM Comic Con Interview with Actor Tony Todd
I was lucky enough to interview Tony Todd in his press panel at MCM Comic Con London. He’s always been on my list as one of my favourite actors. He has a way of being incredibly creepy. As a horror junkie he never disappoints in that genre. He has over 200 credits to his name and even though he is known for being in horror films he is so much more than that to include […]

Read MoreShots by Shinobi Cosplay Spotlight: Swaggy
I started following this dude named swaggycosplayer on IG many months ago and he just reminded me of a crazy cousin. That cousin that always made you laugh by just being exactly who they are and then becomes that crazy uncle. Honestly Swaggy is a fool and if you followed him you would know it. He just so happens to be an awesome cosplayer and all of his characters have their own swag to them. […]
