Costume Help!!!
Costume Help!!!
I have a 3 year old son who's birthday is April 29th. We live in Canada in the North and he has asked for an Astro Boy birthday party. I have been creative in a lot of the aspects of it so far, but have been looking for an Astro Boy costume for him. I haven't been able to find anything at all when searching on the web or on ebay. Any ideas? HELP!!??
Hi Meljacob!
I haven't heard of any costumes that can be bought, but an old forum member made one out of some kind of spongey foam (foam padding?). The coloured parts were covered with vinyl, and the head was paper mache (probably built over chicken wire mesh).
I don't know how much work it would be.

Oh! I am so sorry! I actually have a picture but I'm dressed in his school outfit! meljacob, it really just depends on what your son is willing to wear. Sadly, I'm not wearing boots. In the manga, he sometimes does not wear boots. It really was due to some accidents with glue and spray paint though. 
I altered a jacket and drew green stripes on shorts. And, of course, did my hair. It really is a horrible picture of me, but I don't want to wait another year to post it. n_n Photobucket is not cooperating with me. Sorry. It should be up at a later time. I promise!

If you post a picture of your son, I can photoshop it and give him an Astro body. Then you could print it and show it to him :LOL:
I could also add astro's goofy hairdo
