[North Italy/ Feliciano Vargas Cosplay - APH]

Hello I am looking to sell a few cosplays I don't wear anymore! They are all in good condition and were washed after the last con they were worn at but I will wash them again prior to shipping.
Please note all payments will be in USD, via either Paypal (you pay fees) or WellsFargo SurePay (I also have a Chase I can receive money to as well). I ship from California and shipping will be calculated based on where you are at, though I will try and fit the costume into one of those set price priority mail boxes if possible. Once shipping is estimated and everything is agreed to I will need half of the payment for the costume prior to shipping so I have the funds to ship it. Once that money is transferred over into my bank account I will go ship the costume and give you the tracking number associated with the package, as well as requesting the 2nd half of the price.

All costumes were made (or in italys case bought) to my measurements which are: 36" bust, 21.5" shoulder width, 36" waist and 40" hips.



North Italy/ Feliciano Vargas Cosplay - APH

Cosplay comes with the slacks, blazer, 2 spare buttons (one large, one small) and a tie (slightly off from cosplay color as I bought it on my own).

Asking for $45.00 (OBO) + shipping (USD)

This cosplay was bought in Japan a few years ago, wore a dozen or so times but then not worn for the past... 2 years? I believe. Closeups/more photos can be found on my weebly.

Flaws - it needs one side of the hook on the pants clasp resewn on, the bottom most button came off and needs to be reattached (cosplay comes with both the fallen button, plus the extras), and there's a small dirt stain on the bottom of the tie. All of these have closeups on my weebly as linked above.Also it could probably use an ironing.


Bloody! Leon Kuwata Cosplay - Dangan Ronpa

Cosplay comes with tanktop, jacket and the giant safety pin.

Asking for $30.00 + shipping (USD)

Details: This cosplay was made for AX 2013, where I made and premiered Leon during the con. After the first gathering there was a mishap where I ended up with some red dyed ice on my sleeve, tide to g pen after an immediate run to the bathroom to wash it yielded poor results and since red is near impossible to get out of white of all things I splashed it with some more (immediately washed it upon coming home so it's not sticky or gross or anything) and latter added the more purple coloring "blood" and the 11037 finger dragging on the back. The studs were pink spray painted silver since I literally made this costume during the con in like 6 hours including styling the wig haha, that and the fact it is unlined are the reasons the price is very low. I was proud of it but the faults take away value. Closeups/more photos can be found on my weebly.


Leon Kuwata Cosplay - Dangan Ronpa

Cosplay comes with short sleeve v-neck shirt, the safety pin and the blazer. I measure a 36" bust and 21.5" shoulder width and its a bit loose on me but not too baggy.

Asking for $50.00 (OBO) + shipping (USD)

Details: I made this costume to replace the bloody one. The pocket L is hand embroidered. This version of the jacket is lined. Can include a few spare studs if you would like them. Closeups/more photos can be found on my weebly.

Flaws: I never attached snaps or anything to the cuffs so you'll need to do that. There is also not a flap for the pocket. The collar needs to be re-starched after every wear essentially.


Sukeban! Mondo Oowada Cosplay (+ wig) - Dangan Ronpa

Cosplay comes with the ankle length pleated skirt, mid calf length jacket, face mask and belt. Wig can be included for additional cost or sold separately. In addition to the above measurements please not I am 5'6" in height.

Asking for $150.00 (OBO) + shipping (USD) OR $175.00 with the wig. For just the wig it would be $40.00 (or best offer) + shipping.

Details: The belt is made of floral foam, paper clay and gessoed to all hell it is very solid and attached to a slide style belt? Unsure of the proper name but there are pics on my weebly. The skirt is made out of poplin I believe? Same for the jacket, lined with a thin purple lining. Paint is heat set gold acrylic (all painting credit goes to @toguchin). Pictures of the wig can be found here

Flaws: The paint did seep through the coat in some places to the lining, the lining on the sleeves need to be properly tacked down, the seam is a tad wonky on the collar and my tension was a bit off so you can see the white thread on the black side and there's a small corner of the lapel that my machine missed but can be easily hidden stitched closed. All of these flaws have closeups on the weebly as linked above.



COMMISSIONS
If you are looking to have a costume made, I also do costume/wig commissions!

Please check out my weebly for examples of my work, pricing, etc. I have pictures of WIP + final images for both wigs and costumes uploaded and will be uploading more recent work soon, as well as potentially opening up leatherworking commissions! (see Gyro Zeppeli hat). If you're willing to signal boost me at all (which I would highly appreciate since I really need money to pay bills) I have a post on Tumblr as well.

[EDIT: We are wait listed for the All Ages panel and are hoping for a cancellation to get a spot saturday or sunday. The 18+ panel has been accepted and is slotted to be Friday from 11pm - 1am in Panels 4. Our needed panelist list has been updated as well, so please take a look! All auditions are due by May 1st and after that we will be sticking with the cast we have.]

Hey guys! France, Sweden, and Finland here. We're hoping to get both an all-ages and an 18+ panel; this way both panels are run by the same group of people, everything goes smoothly, and there are no conflicts between the two panels. Between the three of us main hosts we have over 10 years of panel experience.

EDIT: We are wait listed for the All Ages panel and are hoping for a cancellation to get a spot saturday or sunday. The 18+ panel has been accepted and is slotted to be Friday from 11pm - 1am in Panels 4. Our needed panelist list has been updated as well, so please take a look! All auditions are due by May 1st and after that we will be sticking with the cast we have.

We are currently looking to fill a few specific slots on both panels for 2015, since we are trying to limit the number of characters on the panel. If a character you cosplay and would like to audition as is NOT listed if you so desire you can still submit an audition but please know we most likely will not pick you unless we believe you are exceptional as the character and think your character would fit in with our cast list.

PLEASE NOTE: We are asking that people answer character-specific questions, so please PM or post in the thread who you would like to audition for so you may get the questions we wish for you to answer. These questions are to show us how well you will react to both commonly asked questions for your character and how you would handle them as well as your knowledge of the canon of the series.

Video Rules:

• Video must be NO MORE than 5 minutes in length
• Must be in full cosplay including wig/hairstyling and makeup for IC portion
• Video must include the following:

           - Your Name and Age
           - Panel Experience (in general and specifying experience as your character) ex: Ive been in 10 panels, but have only been this character in 1 panel.
           - Must answer at least one character specific and one history/canon based question (get from the panel hosts by posting as mentioned above)
           - In-character portion must be a short monologue, no more than 2 minutes if possible. You can include character specific questions in this section or have them as a separate part.
           - Please try and keep from rambling in IC portion

• Submit link to Youtube video via comment or PM
• If you have links to other panels you have been in and would like to include those as examples feel free to send the links to them as well
• EDIT: Please also remember that the questions are so we can see how you act in a panel environment, keep it sort, sweet and IC! we're judging on ic improv not rehearsed lines.

Auditioner Rules:

• It is required you are at least 16+ to be in the all ages panel, 18+ is recommended if your character is listed as needed on both lists, but if you are under 18 you can still just be in the all ages panel.
• NO ALT VERSIONS: 2p, nyo, chibi, OCs, etc are not accepted.
• Must be open with giving panel heads their phone numbers for contacting purposes as well as maybe adding us on FB.
• Must say in video, or otherwise ASAP, if there are any at all possible conflicts. Other panels, events you want to go to, gatherings, etc. This is for scheduling purposes and so things may be planned for if needed.

Characters We Are Looking For:

• North Italy (18+ only)
• Denmark (both)
• Norway (both)
• Iceland (all ages only)
• Hungary (both potentially)

Characters available for auditioning are subject to change with little to no notice, so please check this post regularly. If a character you have expressed interest in becomes unavailable we will try and notify you.

I'm planning on hopefully taking over some panels from someone who can't be there this coming year so I just wanted to know if there was an estimate on when panel registration will be coming up? I like planning in advance so I'm already gathering who I need and making lists/names/descriptions but it'd be nice to know when I need basically everything done by so I can finish typing things up to place on the registration forms.

Also is there any perks being a panel head? I know a friend once got a free badge for hosting so many panels and I plan on hosting two (if they are accepted).
