So I have mostly everything, I'm just confused on what to do for the sunglasses, is there a brand similar? Also, I want to construct a bent sign, to show his strength, but I had no idea how to even begin to do that. Any help would be appreciated. And if you saw my other topic, I'm not going to do Edward anymore.

Glasses found HERE

As for the sign, I'd make the poll out of PVC pipe using a heat gun to create the bends. Paint. Then mount the desired sign to the post.

I'd say the cosplayfu glasses are nice but 2 things
1. sites like that sometimes only let you purchase accessories for a certain $ amount or they won't sell ( as seen here)
2. 25 + shipping for cheap sunglasses....

I think a search on amazon here or ebay may be more fruitful. Or even making a quick check around for them at walgreens, 7-11 , the mall before purchasing online to save on shipping.

You could buy a traffic sign (a non metal one,) and just stick it on a wood stick or a PVC plastic pipe, (by wielding the pvc pipe with the proper pipe glue from Home depot.)

It depends; what kind of version are you going for with the sign? The stop one? The japanese traffic one? etc.?

Also you could get fake cigarettes like this: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B0006GK61Q

Does anyone know how to make fake cigarettes? They don't have to be fancy.
Though, i guess for under two dollars those that were posted aren't a bad deal haha


Good luck on your costume! :)

My friend just suggested making the cigarettes out of two layers of rolled paper, taping them together and putting color on the end with colored pencil to make it look as if lit. I'm actually going to try making mine now. And I hate to say it, but is there anyway I can get a wig for cheap for Shizuo? (I hate wigs with a burning passion)

Try ebay or Arda wigs. Most of the wigs on Arda are 20-30 dollars at the most and the ones on ebay run 20-60 dollars depending on how good of a quality you want it.

i bought one online for 18 dollars, but it said it will take anywhere from 14-25 days. let's hope it gets here on time... and I got everything else i need. I'm really excited to put the sign together and make sure everything works. thanks for all the help and advice.
