thinking of making a movie level "invisible" heartless costume... or something else?

i am going to dragoncon 2012.
i want a standout costume.
i have a fit 6 foot tall body, and college training in the plastic arts.
i have noticed that any half decent heartless costume is very popular.


i have selected after careful consideration the "invisible" heartless. the mini-boss. but.... would it be recognizable? is there a better selection that i could fit into? other than the "darkside" which would require a wood skeleton frame, and a rented truck to move, and about 3500 dollars for latex alone- that will dry rot in 3 years anyway.

he has a rather large sword. i can have a company make a real sword like his,but i know conventions do not allow "live steel". you cannot even go in real metal armor. so it would have to be made of other materials. if i cannot make the swords realistic, i wont make one. can the invisible be pulled off without his sword?


i tried posting this with various links before, but they were all blocked. i assume by my new status i cannot post links yet.

 

Have you thought of Guard Armour Heartless? It's pretty recognisable and but still boasts a unique design.

Don't know about the links thing. Been a while since I had the honour of being a relatively new member, but ive never heard of that happening. If you post the images in a spoiler, might work out better?

 

When you're a new member who post links, they have to be reviewed by a mod, to avoid bots posting links, etc.

Anyhow, I think Kam has a good idea here. Heartless in general are cool cosplays, because the typical keyblade wielder/OrgXIII cosplays are overly cosplayed.

 

riku and sora, and organization 13 being over represented? that is a understatement, lol. on all the major cosplay sites that keep archives of members pictures, going back some 7 years, kingdom hearts eats up about 10 percent of all costumes at a multi-media convention. and, lol, most are girls. even riku and roxas.

the guard armor is huge, and has arms and legs that are not attached to anything. i really want to try to make something that i can make look real, or translate it into our world as if it were real as possible. i could rent a small moving truck to get the parts around, as well as be transportation to and from said convention. but unless i can find one with compartment air conditioning, it might melt the latex/resin in the summer months in a metalboxed truck....

thanks to some girls,i have been informed of a way to make latex shiny and dry. they wore "catgirl" costumes in latex. they also say they got slapped on the but alot by guys (while in a latex catsuit), so i should be ready to accept the same actions from girls. as a guy,i dont think ill have a problem with that. besides the tail will block my rear of my butt to a degree.

i saw someone pull off a perfect soldier heartless, after some time on google. but they were about 14 inches too tall. i cant fit in that.

 

Well if your that tall you might be able to pull off the trickmaster heartless.

Its not as well known as a soldier but would definatly be unique. :)
It would definatly be one heck of a project though!! Good luck!

 

lol. i dont think i can fit in that.it does look easy to make as a 5-foot tall statue though.
