Gokaiger Cosplay Talk
Aug. 18th, 2013 10:33 pmSo, went fabric shopping today with friends for Gokaiger stuff, because our Luka wants to get started on her stuff ASAP (even if the main wearing won't be until Anime North). There was some decent velvet/velveteen that I might end up getting for Don's jacket if it goes on sale (if there's an "all Basic fabric 50% off" sale or something of the sort), but I'm going to keep my eyes open as well.
That being said, we found (and bought) some good yellow and red material. The results will be, shall we say, Marvellous? (I had to. and will probably keep having to because it's too good a joke not to make.)
Thank goodness, also, that these outfits are all "make 1-2 pieces, figure out hair, thrift shop the rest". Costumes like that make lives soooooo much easier sometimes. :)
Two ideas also came up today.
1) Having a tea party (or "tea" party, as the case may be) as a group somewhere at the con. (And possibly outside the con as well some other time, though we won't have a full group for that... sob.) Possibly because Navi said it would lead to gaining another ultimate power. (Go-Buster? Akibaranger? ...can unofficial sentai even HAVE ultimate power?)
2) Having a... just shy of 20-month-old Navi. (Potentially poncho-ish style so that size doesn't matter. Won't be a very... accurate costume, but we'd probably win all the cute points ever.)
Also, do we have to crash any and all One Piece photoshoots that are planned for that day [assuming they do not clash with other scheduled events such as panels]? I think we might. XD *horrible horrible person* *except apparently not that bad because Don's bounty is consistently the lowest by a considerable margin*

catofshades/estelraca/guardian_beast/M -- I know I talked to you folks before, but are you still interested in Joe/Gai/other people, and any idea who would be whom? (Not that there's not time to change minds a bazillion times, just because getting an idea is good.)
Also, may potentially have a few others joining the overall group. Trying to think of someone fortsukinokage, and potentially my cousin[s] (one of whom is the mother of said will-be 20 month old, and definitely wants him to cosplay at con. ...though a full-grown Navi could also be interesting, if not quite correct size-wise.) If anyone has any ideas for good add-ons (which is kind of an amusing question because it literally could be ANYONE FROM ANY SENTAI SERIES OR RELATED FRANCHISE)... yeah.
Yay lots of time to figure stuff out. ...which also means yay lots of time for scouting out thrift shop sales and finding plaid shirts in the boys' section.
...now just to figure out what I'm going to be doing on the OTHER days of that con. ...and get a more complete idea of Youma cosplay plans, as it's just over two months away. Meep!
