Has anybody had any experience with cosplaying here. Because I just bought a 1:1-ish Faiz Edge (K.O. of course) for the lulz, but looks to have potential as a great prop. Bought it for dirt cheap from 220 to 99 pesos due to the salesman describing the toy as "defective". When I tried it with batteries back home, me and my bro were surprised as it was working perfectly, lights, sounds and all that. The downside to it is that it has very different sounds and the light is colored blue, and the light cannot even reach to the tip of the saber. So I was wondering, how much would it cost to make an effective Faiz costume. I am looking for many reference pictures as possible. Suggestions?
BTW: I'm planning to mod the saber as I was very disappointed with it's functionality, but it's very sturdy. I'm planning to buy the remaining sabers (there were 3 of them, so 2 left, but the other had a mission memory missing. wut?) and I'll be making a rotoscope video showing the K.O. Faiz Edge in action.
Posting pics at some time, don't have a camera phone.
