Disney‘s got a new princess on their hands and her name isn’t Leia. Last year’s animated blockbuster Brave introduced the tiny red headed Merida to the Disney lineup of royal personages.

Merida will be officially coronated as the 11th Disney Princess in a ceremony on May 11th at Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. The creative team has come up with a new look below for the newly crowned princess.

Merida will be joining the other Disney Princess’s, Snow White, Mulan, Aurora, Belle, Tiana, Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel in an event that will undoubtedly be magical.

There should be some video coming, both official and from the attending fans when the ceremony takes place. We’ll keep our eyes out and bring it to you when it hits the Internet.

Sexy Cosplay of the Week: Callie Cosplay

486027_308509552593966_1254445855_n

Every week we provide your young minds with the best entertainment the Internet can provide, but on Friday it’s all about the Sexy Cosplay of the Week. So let’s skip the pleasantries and get done to business with America’s angel, Callie Cosplay.

In keeping with other American cosplayers we’ve featured recently, this Florida resident certainly brings both the cosplay and the sexy. Looking stunningly similar to Kat Dennings, Callie has been bringing the fellas to their knees with every new costume she debuts. With her super hero obsession and ability to make every costume her own, this fighter knows how to keep on going. I say fighter, because she’s been struggling with health issues for years.  Regardless, Callie continues to maintain several jobs and her fan base.

This fiery costume maker has rocked the best of both Marvel and DC; with cosplays of  Mary Jane Watson, Black Cat, Wonder Woman and Supergirl. All of which are in the image gallery below. Check em’ out.

If you, or someone you know, has boobs awesome enough to require their own galaxy, you need this corset from Etsy seller Fash N’ Fuel.

steampunkatat

This steampunk AT-AT was all over the internet yesterday. We first saw it via ThinkGeek’s Twitter, but the gals at the Mary Sue have more images of it. By the way, it was made by Broken Journalist as an engagement gift to his finance.  This is what you all must live up to, gentlemen!

superherokeyboard

Nerdify your keyboard with these superhero (and villain!) decals from Killer Duck Decals. They make a lot of other geeky decals, but the ones for the keyboard are my favorite.

popalien

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! Funko now makes a little Alien Pop! and there’s also a little Predator Pop! and a little She-Ra Pop! to shut that shit down if the intergalactic warfare between those two gets to be too much. Can you tell I’m slightly excited by Funko’s new 80s inspired Pop! figures? You should be too. [the Mary Sue]

nerdiest-tattoo

Fashionably Geek describes this as the nerdiest tattoo you will see all day. I think it’s the nerdiest tattoo you will see EVER. It’s a combo of HitchHicker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings. Can’t get much nerdier, can you?

steampunktardis

I’m not sure it’s possible for me to get through a Nerdy Bits column without posting some TARDIS cosplay. But this lovely steampunk TARDIS is from Mental Floss’ collection of 10 TARDIS dresses for fancy occasions. The article has some incarnations of the Doctor’s Wife we’ve seen before and some that we haven’t, including a dress that would perfect for prom.

Okay, so the commercial for these QR code interactive bedtime story PJs is pretty lame, but the concept is cool. It might be the only time anyone will ever use a QR code. [Bit Rebels]

To kick off Philly Tech Week, Dr. Frank Lee, from Drexel University, created a gigantic game of Pong on the side of a building. The three-story paddles were controlled via laptop. [the Verge]

e404543f8c935d827054986e1e41a6f7829f889d-740

We celebrate some of the finest lady cosplayers the net has to offer in our weekly Sexy Cosplay of the Week feature. We love Sexy Cosplay of the Week – it is an institution here at NerdBastards – but the staff thought it was about time that we did something to celebrate some of the sexiest male cosplays we could find.

So, with that in mind, we bring you this Salute to Sexy Male Cosplay, because damn it, you deserve a good dose of eye candy and these guys deserve a little bit of recognition for their awesome costumes, attention to detail, and abs that make all the guys here at NerdBastards feel extremely inadequate.

So enjoy the Nerd Bastards’ Salute to Sexy Male Cosplay!

Hit the jump for all the muscles and fabric you can enjoy and send your own to nerdbastardcosplay@gmail.com so we can keep doing this.
