A bodysuit would be a good place to start. You would have to hide the harness for the wing-blades under that, so fanangling a way into it would be interesting. The coil of cable hanging out of his stomach would be the next major stepping stone. You would have to find a way to thread the cable (or stuff you're using for cable) through the bodysuit without it sagging so as to create a 3D spool effect. His heart would be the easiest part, simply glue the canister to the requisite place and paint.

Was I of help?

The problem with props like the wings is making them sturdy enough not to fall apart when you bump things.  Which you most certainly will, in crowded con halls.  I'd suggest using wire to make the basic shape, then using papier mache on the wings.  It's light and durable (not waterproof though :X), and holds up well.

I was just thinking about how one would go about making Sasori, and I was thinking perhaps you could get ahold of the torso of a mannequin that they use in stores to display clothes.  You might be able to cut it in half and wear the front of it over your actual chest, then just add the coil of wire and stuff to that.  I don't know how cheap/practical that would be though...

I was able to buy a huge sheet of plastic to make the claw for one of my costumes. That would work really well for the wings but I am not sure if it would hold up well if you bumped into anything....maybe if you bolted them together it will hold up fine (I just used a hot glue gun was why I thought it might not hold up not because the plastic wasn't sturdy)

I don't have the website bookmarked anymore but I believe it is http://www.professionalplastics.com/
but I don't have the exact type that I used. I have to go now but when I get back I'll look for the link ^_^

Hmm But If I Made It The Wrong Way (being as tiny as i am) It Could Blow Me Over If There Happened To Be Any Wind o.o' But Never The Less Great Idea.

Thank You So Much =D

its very light....I mean the whole sheet isn't but it is 70'' x 48'' so that is HUGE (all of it weighs about 8 lbs, or at least that is what the package said) It would weigh about the same as a pair of angle wings that you would put on your back.

Well if you are wearing a really epic costume like that then you don't have to worry about random people attacking you. They will always ask (or at least from what I have experenced) so they wont ruin their costume. My Albel costume was the same way and I never got attacked.....but I never wore it very long.

Yeah, you won't have to worry about getting attacked.  From my experience, if you have big/fragile props, people ask before hugging.  Or give you ample warning (aka, running at you screaming, so you can brace yourself >.<).  The thing I'd be more worried about is people not paying attention in the halls.  You might want to make it so you can fold the wings down or something to get them closer to your body, for maneuvering in the hallways.  Or just don't wear them inside. :/

Yah I was just thinking about attaching something to make the wings move around and such. Just so pple dont get hurt or i wont block any hallways in case of fire or anything =D At the Kumoricon I didnt get any warning just full on takles a few times D: But I Heard The Sakuracon is a little better at the whole hugging thing. >.<

Yeah, it'd suck to poke someone's eye out accidentally.  I kept bumping people with my gourd and apologizing at Kcon. >.<  The worst I got was two people tackleglomping at the same time, but thankfully they yelled to give me warning. XD

Really?  This Kcon was my first convention, and I really hope to go to Sakuracon.  Are you going to be Sasori there, or just for next Kcon?

Don't be shy!  That's one thing I really liked about the con; everyone was so friendly.  That video was fun; I'm glad lychee went along with it. X3

I really hope I can make it to Sakuracon.  If I can, I'll be sure to hunt you down and say hi! :D  And maybe we can hang out.

Well if you bolt the wings together you could be able to move them. You could get them all flexed for pictures then when walking down the hall push them down.

Can't wait to see you are Sakuracon and I hope you get it done in time. I'll have Kimimaro by then (hell the costume will be done mid October)

No worries; if all goes according to plan costume-wise, I'll be able to have many zany adventures at Sakuracon and still be in-character. >:3

Man, it must be nice having the same hair as your costume.  On the first day, the Gaara wig was killing me.  (It actually left two scars on my forehead, that just recently went away).  It was fine on the other two days, but still a hassle. :/

Oh, if you made a fake chest (like using a mannequin or something) for the heart and spool and stuff to be in, you might not have to wrap.  It'd save you some time and pain.

Ur Alot Nicer Then That Other Gaara That Groped Me Without Even Knowing It =D Evil, But Fun, Glomp Circle!

Ow o.o I Just Hate Haveing Long Hair So I Chop It Off Alot And Dye It Before I Did Any Of that I Had Long Knee Length Blonde Hair x_X And I Fear Wigs Cuz I Dun Know How To Put Em On And I Cant Afford The Good Ones o.o And It Looked Like The Wig Was Really Bothering You I Saw You Fiddle Around With It A Few Times

That Would Work Its Just On How I Would Cut It And Make Everything Fit Into It. It Would Save Me Alot Of Time And Pain When I First Cosplayed Sasori I Had To Wake Up At 5am Just To Be Done Before 12pm X_X

Heh, thanks.  You got accidentally groped? o.O  I tried to stay away from the glomp circle as long as possible, but nikki dragged me into it on Monday. ;-;

If you're looking for good wigs, try looking for ones from Lacey Costume Wigs.  They're based in New York City, but they supply to a lot of online wig stores and catalogues.  The wig I wore for Gaara was only about $12.  It bugged me a lot on the first day, but we put it on a different way the other two days, and it was fine.

Yeah, my sister and I had to get up 3 hours early every day to get our makeup and stuff on. >.<

You could try making a papier mache chest about as wide as you are, but have it stick out a little far in the front, so you have room between it and your actual torso.  Then you could put an actual spool in there, and just attach it to your body with an over-the-shoulder and around-the-waist harness.  It might look a little funny from the side, but were you planning on wearing an Akatsuki robe or something over it?  If so, that would probably hide some of the bulkiness.

Oh yeah, nikki, the con is on April 10th, I believe.  I have to see how classes and stuff are going, and if I have a job by then, that'll throw another wrench in the plans.  I think I might already have a place to stay, but we shall see.

Heh, my sister and I got mistaken for guys many times, but never groped. o.O  TWENTY-SEVEN?  Man, you need a tazer or something. XD

I'd suggest waiting until right around/after Halloween, when there's a lot of costume stuff on sale.  Most stores will be cleaning out their inventories, and hopefully have sales on wigs and makeup and stuff.

Lolz!  Or get someone to cosplay a puppet for you, and jump in the way every time a fangirl approaches. XD

I have a question; what are you using for the white stirrup-sock thingies?  I think they make baseball socks with stirrups, but I don't know how well those would hold up...

Hmm...  I'll have to look around at sporting goods stores and see if they have those baseball socks.

The top seam of our Kankurou's shoe ripped open on the first day.  Luckily, we'd brought a hot glue gun with us, so she glued it back together that night.  I think it's a good idea to bring needle and thread, hot glue, tape, etc. with you to wherever you're staying, so you can make small repairs if something breaks during the day.

Alright the second time painting my bone sword made the first layer of paint come off....so I paper mached it with paper towles and it is about the right color....I don't think I will have to do anything else with it when it dries....maybe sand it but I don't think I will have to paint it.
