A breathtaking Tiny Tina's Wonderlands cosplay brings the titular character to life in iconic Borderlands style. The recently-released looter shooter is a spin-off of the Borderlands series, though it adopts a fantasy board game aesthetic rather than embracing sci-fi mayhem. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands characters include the hyperactive supporting character herself, Tiny Tina, who was introduced back in 2012's Borderlands 2.
Gearbox Software's Borderlands franchise is known for both its role-playing gunplay and bizarre sense of humor. The series never hesitates to make a joke, and beloved supporting characters like Tiny Tina are endless sources of lighthearted fun throughout each title. Voiced by Ashly Burch, the teenaged explosives expert gives a manic flare to her quests and acts as the narrator of the Borderlands 2 DLC Assault on Dragon Keep. This unique expansion, which took players on a fantasy quest through Tina's fractured mind, became the inspiration for the full Tiny Tina's Wonderlands experience. However, characters like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' Queen Butt Stallion ensure that the spin-off maintains the usual Borderlands tone despite a change in scenery.
Paying tribute to the unhinged hero, Reddit user MaryandFeinobi has created an extremely authentic Tiny Tina cosplay. Like the Borderlands series, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands uses a distinctly cartoonish cel-shaded art style. MaryandFeinobi amazingly replicates this shading style when bringing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands wardrobe into the real world. The result is a cosplay that looks like it was pulled straight out of the game, including every detail of the design like Tina's hat, dress and deadly accessories. The recreation even comes with an enormous 12-sides die, which Tina uses in the Bunkers & Badasses board game.
MaryandFeinobi's Tiny Tina cosplay is fantastic, and reviews of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands suggest that the medieval shooter is similarly extraordinary. The game makes dramatic changes to the usual Borderlands formula, with gamers actually creating their own custom character and mixing together different class abilities. Collecting an arsenal of guns is still a focus, but the addition of different melee weapons and magical spells to equip shakes up combat considerably. While the overall gameplay sticks closely to the established Borderlands style, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands successfully introduces a new setting and a variety of unique mechanics.
MaryandFeinobi's Tiny Tina cosplay captures every detail of the Borderlands character's witchy wardrobe, including its cartoonish cel-shaded style. The recreation is a perfect way to celebrate the launch of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, which puts the character in the spotlight as a delightfully unhinged narrator. While the fantasy attire is beautifully authentic, MaryandFeinobi should still avoid trying to conjure any real-life dragons or goblins.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
