Wolverine Costume

Postby Ant » Nov 10th, '11, 20:25



I know it's a long shot but I need one for Children in Need next Friday and thought I would ask if anyone has a Wolverine costume gathering dust in a wardrobe which they would like some pennies for via PayPal.

If not no biggy, I'll get one off of eBay or Amazon but I know people quite often buy these things, wear them once, then stick them in a cupboard never to see the light of day again.

:)

New, leather-clad Wolverine or old blue and yellow lycra Wolverine?

Preferably yellow lycra because it's more flamboyant and I am a traditionalist but as long as it is recognisable as Wolverine I do not mind.

I have my own head and facial hair to complete the look. :D

If you were a proper traditionalist you'd be going for a Weapon X costume :wink: which I would not adivse!

One of my goals is to one day create a Wolverine costume (yellow and blue) out of balloons!

It has to be recognisable to the kidlets.

Oh and http://www.balloondesigns.net/wolverine.html , perhaps you can just make it bigger? :D

The look on Stan Lee's face says it all.

Not wolverine I know but thought I'd say it anyway ;)

Why would someone looking for a wolverine costume end up like Stan Lee?

WINNER!

I considered making a costume and have seen some how-to's for Rorschach but it's for kids.

I could just go with a white vest and jeans but it seems a tad lazy!
