'Borderlands 3' Cosplayer Brilliantly Brings Troy Calypso to Life

While many gamers around the world were expecting Borderlands 3 to make an appearance at PAX East, especially after Gearbox Software did their best to tease everyone, it was still nice to have official confirmation in the form of a reveal trailer. Now that fans can stop worrying about the game becoming the next Half-Life 3, we are all prepared for April 3rd and the unveiling of the release date for the highly-anticipated game. That said, the ever talented cosplay community wasted absolutely no time in creating what will likely become some fan-favorite characters, including one cosplayer who transformed himself into one of the Calypso Twins.

The cosplayer in question is Jordan Rhine, who also goes by "handsomejordan." Upon seeing the Borderlands 3 reveal trailer, Rhine and a fellow cosplayer got to work on the brother half of the Calypso Twins, whose name is Troy, and the results are absolutely stunning.

To see what cosplayers are able to achieve in such a short amount of time is always wonderful, especially when the accuracy is on point. As noted in the tweet above, only the ears and eyes were Photoshopped. The rest is the combination of fur, EVA foam, and a bit of makeup. You can also check out more of Rhine's work on his Instagram.

Needless to say, fans were quick to react, many of which are wondering how they were able to achieve such a quick turnaround.

I've stared at this for so long now and my brain still can't process the fact that this is a COSPLAY and not from the actual game, it looks so amazing!
