Guyver Costume

[TWolfK]

Love the forum.  Been a guyver fan since the 90's.

 

Does anyone know how I can get the 2nd movies's or the best anime version. http://guyver-world.ru/pics/cosplay/big/guyver-costume.jpg

 

I tried emailing the Wang brothers to no avail.  Thanks all of you!

I wouldn't have a clue, I guess it would be a custom job

[Salkafar]

Get it? As in you want to own it? Wouldn't that be hella expensive?

[Guyver1]

Looks like a promo made suit for the last anime. A super pro job. I want one as well!! Too bad it would be out of my budget to get.

Yeah, that was mearly a suit made for the promotion of the 2005 TV series.

 

And from what I remember the founder of bioweapons.com, Dave Carpenter telling me once, those suits have a lifespan of about 3-5 years as the materials they use look great and are nice and light... But deteriorate much faster than even a lot of cosplays.

 

So it's probably long gone.

 

To get any full body sized Guyver costume, you'd probably have to pay a good couple thousand to a costume maker, as something of that magnitude would take a long time, and a lot of material. I'll put it this way, back when I was closer friends with Dave, he quoted me about $600 US for a simple Extremis Iron Man Helmet ( and if I wasn't forced to move at the time, I would have done it too). So, A helmet alone with cost probably $600+... On top of that the suit it self would probably 3-4 times that... So you'd be looking at something over $3000.

 

Then the issue is finding someone good enough to build it.

[Salkafar]

And, really, when would you wear it?

 

Boy, I really want a Guyver movie... a good one.

[Guyver1]

I probably would not wear it, but it would be sweet to have as a display.

 

I think we ALL want a good Guyver movie. It would look so good with today's capabilities. One day!!

[Salkafar]

'course, with our luck it would go like this:

 

"And one more thing... by next fall, we hope to have in the theatres our newest production... Bio-Booster Armor Guyver! At the helm will be acclaimed producer, writer and director - "

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then again. It could be good.

 

Imagine you keep it kind of mysterious just how Chronos is creating those monsters they are sending after our hero... and the Shyamalan-twist is that humanity was created as biological weapons.

[Matt Bellamy]

Let's not take this topic in the wrong direction please.

 

Beside, Shyamalan needs to do his OWN movies, and stay away from other peoples work. Some directors need more freedom. He is one of them (ie his lastest wasn't bad at all)

I'd love to wear that for Halloween and take it to cosplay conventions. Oh the envy!

[Gray5]

I've seen a guy who's made a version for about $3k. Kind of a rough looking suit imo but he made one. Think he makes some Venom/Carnage suits.

[Guyver1]

I saw that fellow at Megacon in April. Got a pic with him because... you NEVER see Guyver at a con!! $3K is a bit much for a fan made suit though...

That's a big chunk of money for a suit that you may only wear a few times.
