Costume Countdown: The Fur Set
Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Manga-Beast
Maskless, brown-suited Wolverine is my second favorite version of the character—I’ve already done my favorite—and it’s not a version I see that often. This version of the Beast—from the upcoming X-Men: Misfits manga—is too cute for words. Horrible to move around in, but too cute for words. Though, after finishing Sonic the Hedgehog, Manga Beast is looking like the most likely to be made next. Nightcrawler, however, is really only going to happen if I can dump a ridiculous amount of money into it. I’d want the red and white parts to be leather, a naturally-moving tail, and a really snazzy mask. And in order to justify the expense, it would have to be perfect. Well, it would have to be perfect anyway. Nightcrawler’s my favorite X-Man.

What about making the Beast costume like one of the inflatable costumes? http://tinyurl.com/5hr8zz You may need to acquire one of the ready made airblown costumes on an after Halloween sale to cannibalize. http://tinyurl.com/6hjepc

I was actually just thinking about that as JR and I perused some costume shops last weekend. It would certainly make the costume easier to travel with.
