    Doctor Strange Cosplayer Forced to Deform Sling Rings by Canadian TSA

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    Cosplayers who travel have their fair share of horror stories. Expensive props, one of a kind builds, and hours upon hours of time spent on costumes are totally normal. But what about when the WORST happens, and a piece of the costume gets lost? Or, even more common- a TSA agent doesn’t recognize a prop vs. contraband?

    The latter happened to well-known cosplay personalty Riki Lecotey, aka R1ddle. Among several of her Marvel cosplays is a beautiful Doctor Strange.

    Layers of highly detailed blue fabric for the robe, hand-tooled leather for the belt, and some pretty amazing sling rings. So amazing in fact that apparently some CATSA (Canada’s TSA) agent thought they were brass knuckles.

    Oh this breaks our heart!

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
