[quote][i]Originally posted by marindoll[/i] Welcome Cockroach! I rarely post - I mostly lurk but I had to comment about your search for decent helmet/costumes. The ones you found on replica prop forums are fantastic. Hopefully the guy is still willing to may them. About the sculptor from Deviant art who made the beautiful Ken and Jun costumes, his name is Larry Malott and I actually contacted him about a year and a half ago about possible purchasing a Jun costume. The original one he made was already sold, but he was willing to custom make the full set for about $2500. Needless to say it was a lot more than I wanted to spend. Hopefully the guy from Replica prop will make some more! I'm interested in the Condor one myself![/quote] Thanks for posting the info! That is a little pricey on the Jun outfit, but being a 501st member, some times to get a awesome looking outfit, it will cost. :crap: I have a Biker Scout costume and so far I've probaly have about $1300 into it. I can see paying that kinda of money for that kinda of quality and accuracy. What I've learned from being in the 501st is some outfits will costume more than others and to maintan the movie accuracy, then it cost. For example, a Boba Fett or Darth Vader outfit(done right) usually cost around $2000 to $4000. :shocking: I'll keep looking for some helmets and asseccories and let everyone know, especailly if their cheaper.:wink1:

Thanks for the welcome and info! I was a little skeptical about the Eagle outfit on that site, especailly when they have a jumpsuit listed for Jun. :eek3: I'll keep trying to get ahold of the guy about the helmets and asseccorries.:wink3: As for the Condor helmet, have you tried the Replica Prop Forums? [URL]http://www.therpf.com/search.php[/URL]?searchid=2968287 There's a guy making Mark and Jason's helmets! And they are for sell and looks good. [IMG]http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n295/cockroach71/botp20helmet.jpg[/IMG] You have to sign up on the forums and be a member for 45 days before your able to buy items form the site. :sad1: The kits isn't to bad a price, $150 unfinished and $200 finished. I'm going to check if he's planning on making a Princess helmet. Sorry,I'm use to calling them by their BOTP naems.

I'm new here. :newbie1: But I did found that site a few weeks ago. I'm doing research in making a Swan/Jun outfit for my wife. She's new to costuming and realy would love to make this.I saw the helmet and asseccories , which looks Amazing, so I e-mailed the maker of the items, but have yet to get a reply from him. Does anyone know if he sells the Swan helment? I know they sell his Eagle helment and outfit on the cosplayhouse website. I've been a Gatchaman/ Batttle of the Planets fans since I was a kid. I would love to make a Ken Eagle outfit , but until I lose some weight, then it might be best to go for Tiny. :yaright1: I'm in the process now of making a Sceince Patrol outfit from the 60's Ultraman show. Even looking at buying a 1963 Corvair! :looking:
