Let's kick things off with one of the most vibrant cosplays at PAX AUS: this fab League of Legends Neon Strike Vi from Aussie cosplayer Phunkee Bones. Technically, LoL cosplay counts as arm day for your workout.
Whipped up by Aussie cosplay creators Scrap Shop Props, this Doom Slayer was built in just 18 days -- and it was one of the best outfits on the show floor.
Ultimate Carrot from the digital card game Shadowverse was technically a paid mascot appearing at the Shadowverse booth, but he deserves an honourable mention for being so terrifying.
