Sure, the live-action Jem and the Holograms crashed and burned at the box office, but fans will always have the cartoon and, now, this pretty spectacular cosplay that mashes together the 1980s original and some classic X-Men.

Based on art by Rage Gear Studios, “Jaz and the Hardlight Projections” is the work of the Skirts and Swords cosplay team and Greg De Stefano Photography, who deliver the most spectacularly '80s display you're likely to see this week.

The photos feature Meredith Placko as Jaz (Jem/Dazzler), Alicia Marie as Orana (Storm/Shana), ChubbyBunny Michelle as Beja (Psylocke/Aja), Yume Ninja as Kimarie (Rogue/Kimber) and Emma Fyffe (Jubilee/Raya). There's even a behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot, which you can see below.
