Free Cardboard Robot Costume Giveaway

[Shionami]

Hello to everyone reading this. As suggested by the topic, I am offering to give away my cardboard robot costume from last year's Fanime. Some of you may remember seeing a robot waddling around the convention center; yeeeeeah, that was me. Anyway, it's a bit beaten up from a 2 hour glompfest but still intact. If you're interested in claiming this costume, post a comment in this thread and maybe why you want/deserve it. Depending on the demand for the costume, I might make a contest out of it. No questions asked on what you're going to do with it, as long as you don't mutilate it. >.<

A few disclaimers:
- The head as of now is flattened and not assembled. I've also taken out the lights for its eyes.
- The "skin" of the robot is a bit dirty, you might want to re-skin the robot with brown "grocery bag" type of paper.
- As for the person the costume was made for; I'm 5'5" and super skinny, just so you know.
- The lighting in the head is comprised of a few insulated wires, 4 AA batteries, two light switches, and two mini light bulbs (costs about $10).

If you have any questions, just post them in the thread and I'll try to answer them asap.

Deadline for the offer: April 30, 2010

omg i saw you!  your box costume is super-cute!!

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Hell, I'll claim it.
I have always wanted to do some cosplaying but lack the time/money to create/buy one, so this sounds like the perfect opportunity to get into some cosplay.
Plus it just won't be Faninme without the Box Robot  ;)

Case in point, yes, I want it.

Were you also at Fanime 2008? If so, I got your picture!

Her name is Danboard, by the way.

I've always refered to him as Boxy Brown, because for some reason a cardboard robot reminds me of a cardboard box with an afro.

Now for pro pick:

[Moonblossom]

She's a side-character from the Yotsubato! manga.

It's actually just a costume, there's a young girl inside.

So no one else has posted interest in the costume yet?
I just might get it yet >=3

[Shionami]

Hmm, I want to set a deadline for the end of April. If no one steps up to challenge your claim, the costume is yours.

[Elimeno]

I CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE SAKE OF CHALLENGING!!

naw, not really. Good luck!

Can I count you as a defeat then? =D?
Only 30 More days to go!

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

25 More Days to Go.

I should bring my Yotsuba cosplay to Fanime and look for you as Danboard... ;D

[Shionami]

Well as of now, the costume needs some work for it to actually be wearable once again. If you live in San Jose, CA, I could give the costume to whoever wins before the convention so that they could fix it up a bit. Although, I'm sure that sounds kind of shady and I'd rather give the costume away during the convention. We'll see how things go.  :-\

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Well all it needs is to be reskined and the head needs to be reassemble, correct?

[Shionami]

Yup, yup! [thumbs up]  ;D

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Well, if I presumably win, I am in the San Jose Area so it should not be a problem to pick it up so that I can repair it before con.
But Yes, we will see how things go.

[KyuuBob]

I wanna try to win it~ ; 3;~

And I would fit in it too~~

I've always wanted that box... + A+.

[Elimeno]

HEEEYA COOOMES A CHALENGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

...
Now I have to try, damn.

[LOVE.SAE]

I would like to try and claim it as well. ( U ω U )
I am a big fan of the Yotsubato and I really like your Danbooru cosplay! ( ^ ω ^ )
I first read Yotsuba in 2003 when my mother came back from Japan and bought me a Dengeki Daioh magazine.
I was very happy reading it as a middle schooler, but I was disappointed because I wouldn't know when I will ever get another Dengeki Daioh magazine for the next chapter ( ; 3 ; ) So when I became an 8th grader, I found book one at my school's book fair! And it was when it was still by ADV
*_____* Very important to me that it was published from ADV. I have all the manga at the moment, and books one through five I have are the original ADV translations and covers. Then book six and seven came out and they reprinted all of them because Yen Press acquired the license. ;___; But I purchased them anyway, I don't like Yen Press! They're getting all the good manga titles and charging more for them. Fuahhhh it makes me sad. I am now in 12th grade and I think when I first read Yotsuba, it helped me with English since I had the original Japanese chapter to compare with it. So that is why I want your Danbo costume, because Yotsubato has made a great impact on my childhood おねがいします~ (● ω ●)
You should be able to tell, I would really like your costume ( = ω = )

They have a happy home :3



Can you guys notice the difference between Yen Press and ADV? ; 3 ;
