About Us

There is a special time in a parent’s life when your well behaved, mild mannered, straight A teenage daughter, comes to you requesting syringes from the pharmacy and then 10mm flexible hose from the hardware store. Now I can tell you the thought’s that run through your mind, “where did I go wrong?”, “it’s drugs I knew it”, “I should have encouraged better friends”, I tell you this so the relief of seeing her step out of her room after months of hibernation dressed as some “weird” character, was huge. You just want to apologise for the bad thoughts that were in your head all this time but instead what comes out sounds more like “What the hell is that?”.

This was in 2019 right before our first con at Gallagher convention centre. We all got “bit” that year, so we brainstormed and decided to all go as characters from BNHA (Boku No Hero Academia). It turned out to be the most tiring, surprising and awesome days I have had since I was a kid. We met so many other cosplayers who were eager to help, it could have been technique, supplier information or upcoming events, no information was off limits. We continued crafting through Covid and when we could finally go back to Comic Con, we started thinking about how we could do something positive for this industry, encourage other children, teens and parents to get involved and join/drag their kids/parents into this crazy fun and entertaining world.

This was the birth of CroftHive and our love for cosplay and the people involved. CroftHive will strive to keep open communication, reach out on social media or the email accounts on the contact page. We will push for the most fair pricing and one day provide you all the tools for you to focus on what we all have come to enjoy, Cosplay.
