Elf Ear Styles for Middle Earth Elf Cosplay
We now offer Half-elf Ears that are absolutely perfect for most Lord of The Rings cosplays. Here is a little primer to assist you in your elf ear decisions. Many of the elves in LOTR sport pretty low profile ears. Legolas has very subtle ears, yet his father, Thranduil has more substantial elf ears. Legolas apparently takes after his mom, in regard to his ears and temperament.
Half-elf Ears Are Perfect For The Majority Of Middle Earth Elves
Our Half-elf Ears are both elegant and low profile and are the perfect choice for Arwen, Galadriel and Legolas cosplay. I am including some comparative photos with Middle Earth elves and various shots of our ears. These elven ears are understated, and very realistic, commonly mistaken for ear surgery. They are cast in silicone and hand painted in your choice of color; five stock skin-tones as well as color-match.
Classic Elf Ears Work Well for Characters With More Substantial Ears
Our Classic Elf Ears are a good choice for Thranduil and Tauriel cosplays. These ears are quite elegant as well, but are more substantial than the Half-elf style. Our elf ears, are cast in life-like silicone so the best choice for those with latex allergies. These recommendations are based on the Peter Jackson vision of Middle Earth, needless to say that if your creating your own Middle Earth elf the choice is up to you.
Ears For Other Middle Earth Characters
Hobbits have a larger somewhat rounded ear.Since originally posting I have added a Hobbit Ear design and there is a post dedicated to it. Heres a link. For Orc cosplays we have designed and offer Orc ears available in whatever shade you need from our shop.
