Martin SFX

Billy Hargrove

Andrea, aka Martin SFX, started cosplaying in 2012 and has been part of UDI since the very beginning. He portrays bad boy Billy Hargrove mostly and has created 5 versions of this character (his favourite being the Flayed Billy one).
He’s an SFX make up artist and also the set designer of the group, he’s very passionate about bringing iconic scenography from the Upside Down to life.

Martin SFX

Vecna

Obviously Andrea couldn’t settle for cosplaying as a “human” character like Billy, so he decided to put into practice all his knowledge of SFX and created the cosplay of Vecna in every detail. In the show, Vecna’s makeup was entirely done with prosthetics and this process took hours. For convenience, Andrea made a full body suit.

Alessandra Alicia Sierra

Joyce Byers

Alessandra, aka Alessandra Alicia Sierra, has joined the world of cosplay in 2015, first as a photographer and then as a cosplayer of horror characters.
The turning point came when she decided to create Wonder Woman’s armor from scratch, that’s when she started sewing all of her costumes for future cosplays.
Her most important characters are: Alicia Sierra from Money Heist, Zulema from Vis a Vis and Virginia Pepper Potts from Iron Man.
After watching Stranger Things, she decided to start portraying badass mom Joyce Byers.

Linda “Rin”, aka Nuffle Void, started cosplaying in 2019 and portray skater girl Max Mayfield. They have always committed themselves during the years to improve their crafting skills and love to create all of their cosplays from scratch.

After watching the Stranger Things series, she decided to start her cosplay career as Eleven, along with her daughter Norah.

The Demogorgoness

Demogorgon

Mara, aka The Demogorgoness, has always been fascinated by the cosplay world and has attended many events, but more as a fan rather than a cosplayer herself.

She portrays Robin Buckley.

Just Fefi

Edward “Eddie” Munson

They did a lot of research on character references and materials, in order to be able to stick to the canon as much as possible.
Fefi and Eddie have definitely a lot of things in common – they both love metal music and are mostly seen as outcasts, in addition to bravery not being their best feature.

Karen Wheeler

Aurora, aka Aury Art, approached the world of cosplay in 2013 and the 80s have a very special place in her heart – that’s probably why she enjoyed Stranger Things that much!
