Title: Jinnai Cosplay Help!
Post by: nirvana on July 13, 2005, 09:48:42 pm
Yo guys!

Though it's been awhile since I last posted, I have finalized my plans for a cosplay skit as Jinnai. However, dispite the lack of those I know who are willing to participate/create Bugrom related cosplay costumes, I'm going ahead away with this idea. However there's another snag in the plan...

I have NO CLUE what I could wear/distinguish myself to look like Jinnai without people thinking I just show guy in a suit.  ^^;

Any sort of help would be appreciated for the cosplay outfit. Thanks again guys.  :)

You could carry a Bugrom plushie or something around with you (particularly if you have one of the little messenger Bugrom that appeared a few times). I mean, that way; the people that recognize it will know you're Jinnai, and the people that don't wouldn't know who you were anyway.

Besides a "prop" like that, though... I don't know. You could prominently carry a comb in your front pocket (helpful if you can get your hair to look like his), and that might help, but honestly; there's so many white guys in business suits (not so many that are blue, but still) in anime that you're really out of luck. *chuckles*

You might also consider wearing badges like the ones Jinnai eventually wears in the OAVs. The "Bugrom Big Raid Medal of Victory", among others. ;D

Possibly that goofy bug suit he was wearing in the second OVA, though I'd know nothing of how to make costumes.

As long as you have the laugh down pat, it should be a cinch.

Don't forget the wingtips. Shine 'em up real good.

Geez...thanks for the support... -_- But I'll keep in mind about the comb...

I was thinking the exact same thing. I recall that there are some cutouts of them on the inside flap of one of the Anthology books. I could scan those and paste them onto cardboard or something hard and cut them out and paint them.  :)
