What did you think of Daredevil’s episode on She-Hulk?

We unfortunately couldn’t bear to watch past episode 4 😮‍💨😅 …BUT you bet your sweet cheeks we came back for episode 8 to see the return of our boy Matt Murdock. (Lawyer show!) Though the episode was short and devoid of a decent plot, it was rad to see DD kicking ass and cracking jokes.

In honor of the MCU finally giving us the classic yellow and red suit, we decided to do our own version of the iconic look. Dang, we just realized we’re up to 3 different Daredevil styles in our shop now!! Actually… 4 if you count the black and red set we recently did for

Photos of that sexy set coming soon!! 😜🤌 Stay tuned friendos

What should we make next?

Little known fact: The very first item we sold as Carbon Panther was a Red Hood vest— and to this day, it’s still arguably our most popular style! A lot of people have been asking about our armored up Red Hood look, for those wanting to get their Jason Todd on without the jacket. (We get it, layers are hot! 🥵)

What else do you need to complete your look?
Well, you could start by checking out all 4 different gauntlet styles available in the shop. Then, you could decide between our 2 belt styles and finally, figure out whether or not you want to add a pair of tactical boots to your shin guards! Did you want to add bicep armor on those shoulder pauldrons for more arm coverage? Pshhh, more armor— always.

Man, so many options. Oh, and every item can be customized with various color and finish options.

Your head spinning yet?! We’ve got you. We walk you through the process of building your set piece by piece, so that we’re all on the same page. It’s kinda beautiful, really.

If you’re looking for a custom symbol, or anything else not listed here, shoot us a DM and we can get started on a quote for you straight away 💪 Let us make stuff for you!

Who’s your favorite X-Men character?

There are so many greats! How does one pick!? Here at the Carbon Panther forge, we’re always arguing over who’s the best. This is a tough one— there’s really no wrong answer because they’re all pretty badass in their own way!

One X-men character that you guys have been requesting for years now is our boy Gambit here. We are so stoked to finally welcome the Carbon Panther Gambit vest to our available lineup! 🔥🔥🔥

This vest was an awesome challenge to take on. The amount of detail in the collar and trim was no small feat! We wanted to stay true to the comic references we were sent by the client, but had to work within the constraints of making add-ons for our Mach I vest. We special-ordered these epic metallic pink and blue tones for the perfect cinematic finish. The result? Only the most badass Gambit vest you’ve ever seen. No big deal.

If you’re a Gambit cosplayer…. you’re gonna need this in your collection ASAP 🔥🔥

10/10/2022

Y’all have been cheering us on behind the scenes for weeks now while we worked on this badass custom Gambit build for ! We got so caught up meeting deadlines that we forgot to post our usual sexy little sizzle reel to show off the final result 😅

Feast your eyes upon this glorious beast of a Gambit vest— Carbon Panther style, of course. We wanted to stay true to the comic references we were sent by the client, but had to work within the constraints of making add-ons for our Mach I vest. It was quite the challenge, but we do love a good challenge here!

We’re so stoked that this vest is finally here— you guys have been asking us about Gambit for years! Well, everyone thank for being the man to put in the order and trust us with this build 🦾🦾🦾

This Gambit armor will be available for purchase this week on our Etsy shop— but if you’d like to get your order in before it hits the store, shoot us a message here and we can make it happen! 🤘😎🤘

What’s your favorite Wolverine costume?

This is definitely our favorite Wolverine set we’ve made so far. Our new specialty yellow paired with classic black just looks so damn clean! 🤌🤌
And that belt though… the sleek X-logo belt really brings the whole costume together.

We’ve been dying to make some of Wolvie’s other looks: maybe a classic brown and yellow Wolverine vest, or an X-Force grey and black perhaps?! Yeah? No?!

Who’s gonna be the first to order!? 👀😂🦾

Check out the epic rocking our very first Deathstroke design!

We think this Deathstroke design looks pretty awesome— but, us being us, we can already see some elements of this set that could use improvement— and thus, the creative process continues! You can expect to see a Deathstroke V2 from us in the future, for sure.

Every time we take on a design for a new character, we’re presented with a whole mess of opportunities to create new pieces to add to our list of available shop styles! We love the challenge, though sometimes it can be hard to scale ourselves back (always use your full ass. never half ass anything!)

We’re always working on something new over here, so be sure to check in regularly. And don’t forget to follow our new studio page to see all the awesome new sets we have available to play on! 😎🦾🔥

What did you think of the Moon Knight show?

We as a collective really enjoyed the show! We just wish there would have been more actual Moon Knight. Such a great exploration into the many personalities that make up Moon Knight.

is the one who put in the custom order that made our Moon Knight vest available! He looks beyond epic here, rocking our very first set of Moon Knight armor.

Prices are as marked, first come first serve and buyer pays for shipping 🤘

What if Joker stole Batman’s armor and painted it?

This was definitely one of our most unique (and fun!) custom orders. Inspired by the Joker War written by James Tynion IV and drawn by Jorge Jimenez.

Our client said to us, “Become the Joker and paint!” We responded that we would indeed— but temporarily and with great caution. Here is the result!

This vest was hand painted by the talented

When we say we do custom orders, we mean it! If you pay for it, and we can make it happen, we WILL build it 🤘

Carbon Panther Armor: Not just for superheroes!

You can use our armor and accessories to create many different types of characters.
Designed with stunt performers in mind, our armor is durable and versatile- great for all types of film projects and for taking your cosplay to the next level. 💥☄️

Take this character for example— this is actor looking like a character from Gears of War or some sci-fi action film hero about to blast some aliens.

What would you do with this look?

06/25/2022

What do you think of our Dark Detective vest?

This style was inspired by Dan Mora’s design from the Dark Detective run from Future State. If you haven’t checked it out, we definitely recommend it. The artwork alone is worth the price of the graphic novel, in our humble opinion!

Anyway, this is just one example of many custom vests we’ve made for clients over the years. Our product can be modified into almost any character you can think of. Hell, we could even make a custom Fantastic 4 vest if that’s what you’re looking for!

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to bring that concept suit idea you’ve always had in the back of your mind (or sketchbook!) to life. All you have to do to make your dream armor a reality is shoot us a message! 🤩💯🦾

06/23/2022

Who’s your favorite Robin?

What we love most about Robin as a character is how many versions there are and how very different each backstory is. Different personalities, skills and most importantly: different costumes. 😎

We had the pleasure of shooting two birds with one stone… (yeah, yeah, we know 😅) …or, ahem, two different Robins side by side. They’re both rocking Carbon Panther armor, but each set is so uniquely different from the other— just like these characters! We’ve got on the left as Dick Grayson and we have on the right as Tim Drake. These two absolutely got the memo 💯🔥

Too bad we couldn’t squeeze Jason Todd and The Batman himself into this epic photo! Perhaps next time… 🦇🦾

06/23/2022

What do you think of our weathered Mandalorian armor?

We couldn’t do any major damage, of course— since it’s made of Beskar and all. We imagine the paint is scraping and chipping away from years of use— just like Boba Fett’s armor looked before he repainted it in the new series.

We think the weathering adds some extra texture and realism, but we are also suckers for some smooth Beskar… 😍😍

Whatever your character’s backstory, we’ve got you covered with our Mandalorian style vest— available in just about any color. We can get you armored up from the neck down with something fresh from the Carbon Panther forge.

This is the way. Order today 🦾🦾

Do you have a favorite Punisher cosplayer? Tag them below!

When approached us about doing a Punisher shoot, we were a bit on the fence about his choice of character. We scrolled through his IG and realized that while he definitely had Daredevil, Spidey and the Boy Wonder on lock, he didn’t bear a whole lot of resemblance to ol’ Frank.

We decided to do two looks in one shoot: both Daredevil AND Punisher. Once we got him into makeup & hair, worked her magic and Caleb was transformed. He spent a few minutes in front of the mirror feeling out the character, stepped onto our dedicated bunker set in San Pedro, and morphed into the Frank Castle we all know and love.

We were blown away! Watching people feel confident enough in costume to really embody the character is one of the things we love most about what we do.

If you’re looking to up your content game with some epic new photos, book us and we will bring your cosplay to life with badass cinematic shots like these 🔥🔥

Never a dull moment here at CPP, you guys. Today’s episode is brought to you by: The Man.

Apparently our newest Batman vest design, inspired by the 2022 film, is a little too well made for Hollywood’s comfort! 😅 We were shocked last week to find out that WB filed a copyright complaint against us for our design, and Etsy pulled the listing for our Battinson vest from our shop! Not to worry, though… you can still get your hands on this vest.

If you’d like some Batman contraband of your very own, shoot us a message and we can send you a private listing for this vest (and whichever other pieces you need to complete your set!)

Join us in supporting small business and sticking it to the man! Get yourself suited up today 🙌

Check out our very first Wolverine set in all its glory! Cosplayer really killed it as Wolvie, and photographer captured him perfectly.

It’s been a while since we’ve made a Wolverine set, but we’re working on a custom set right now that’s gonna be almost too much for Wolverine fans to handle! 🔥🔥

We can’t wait to share it with you.

Still waiting for someone to put in an order for the X-Force black and grey armor or the classic brown and tan armor tho… 🤔🧐

Who will be the first?! (Let’s be real, it should totally be you.)

Wolverine fans sound off below! 🗣🗣

06/16/2022

What do you think of Moon Knight in silver and black??

We call this style Moon Knight: Dark Mode. This was a custom order for a client that we thought was a really badass idea. We feel like this is the armor Marc Spector would use on a stealth mission.

Captain America has a stealth suit in the MCU. So here we present for your consideration: Moon Knight’s very own.

If you’ve got an idea for a fun spin on a classic character, shoot us a DM and let’s get started! 💪

06/16/2022

Okay, y’all. Real talk for a sec. Have you ever seen Robin look this badass??

These photoshoots with just keep getting better and better! We decided to go with more of a tactical style Robin for this shoot, with a nod to the classic comic book look. As always, upon seeing himself in the finished look, Caleb instantly embodied the character.

Whether you are taking your existing bodysuit and upgrading your cosplay with some armor, or you’re creating a new look from scratch, a set of our armor can is the perfect starting point for your new look.

If you’re in (or will be traveling to!) southern California, you can book us for your next character photoshoot! We have an epic set available at our warehouse or we can plan a shoot on-location for an additional charge.

You said tomorrow yesterday; stop letting your dreams be dreams. Let’s make some magic!

06/16/2022

It’s a pretty common debate amongst fans whether certain bodysuit-loyal characters can rock body armor. Nightwing is definitely one of those characters.

We say: wear BOTH! The armor flows seamlessly with the right bodysuit, giving your character a badass armored look that’s seamless and epic.

This was our first shoot with but it definitely won’t be our last. This guy is a fellow military veteran and he is an absolute blast to work with- not to mention he owns the Dick Grayson vibe!

It was great to finally see our full Nightwing armor set come to life the way we’ve been envisioning. And don’t worry, you guys, there’s much more to come! 👀

If you’re looking for some epic photos of your cosplay or need some strong character looks for your reel, we are booking photoshoots on our new set at our studio in San Pedro, CA.

Message us today to book your shoot. Act quickly, slots are filling up fast! 📸

Some of you may not know this about us, but we have FOUR different gauntlet styles available in our shop. Today, we’d like to tell you a little bit about an unsung hero of sorts: our HD Gauntlets. We photographed and interviewed 3 different color ways, and here’s what they had to say about themselves:

“You know the Gotham Knights video game, right? Dude, get this. I was actually designed in the style of the beefy, badass gauntlets Red Hood wears in the game. Yep, that’s me! I’m not like, FAMOUS famous yet, but I’ve got a pretty decent IG following so… it’s only a matter of time.”

Another color way had this to say:

“Not all of us are like, super flashy, man. I like to keep things low key, kinda more of a stealth vibe, kna mean?”

The third pair neglected to participate in the interview portion of the day, and we think that’s probably for the best.

Want more scintillating interview content with inanimate objects? Grab yourself a set of our Heavy Duty gauntlets today (available in our shop- link in bio!)
