Hey, all! Some of you might have seen me at the last Kumoricon picnic in July as Alphonse Elric. I've come to grips with the fact that Alphonse is just too big for my room now that I've finished Davy Jones. I don't want to recycle him if I don't have to, so in a last ditch effort, I'm setting him up for sale to those who want him.
I'm 5'10", 155 lbs with a lady's 8 size shoe, and the armor is made to my size. I made him myself, so if someone is interested, I can fix him up the best I can. We can always make a transaction at the next cosplay picnic if need be. Also, at the picnic, you can try on the armor before purchasing as well. Please only try him on if you're interested, as I don't want anything to accidentally happen to him with an uninterested party.
Alphonse is made of cardboard primarily, with wire and fur "horsefeathers" on the helmet, and a cotton apron with wooden rings on the side. There are a lot of elastic straps and velcro to keep him together. The cardboard was purchased in large sheets, not boxes, so there are no seams from where a box was assembled together. The twill pouch on his thigh is attached and strong. It held my wallet and miscellaneous items during Sakuracon 2006 quite nicely.
CONDITION: He's a little beat up with a tear on the back where my friend accidentally punched him. The gold rings are chipping a little bit, but I will most certainly repaint them and add a clear coat of nail polish to prevent scratches in the future. The apron is wrinkled, but nothing an iron can't take care of. A shoulder armor has fallen off, but I will reattach before delivery. The feet have recently been remade, and while in the picture they look wide, they are meant to fit over thin shoes or water socks. Some of the elbow and knee pads are chipping, and it is an easy fix. I will try to fix up any kinks or problems to the best of my ability before showing/selling.
PLEASE NOTE: It is impossible to get into this cosplay on your own, so please make sure you have some sort of helper if you decide to buy this.
I know this sounds like a hassle, and if there aren't any interested parties, that's fine. This is just a last ditch effort. Please post questions or concerns here, and if you are interesting in purchasing, PM me.
I'm selling him for $20, complete with 10-gallon bucket! 8D The pictures following this post are taken just now, and the full body shot was at the recent Kumoricon Picnic in July '08. Please note that the balakava mask I am wearing under the hood will not be included. I wore a black turtleneck and black sweat pants underneath.
Thanks, everyone!
