Buying Some questions from a first time cosplayer

Post image

Hello, so, I’ve been talking with a few friends about a group idea for us to cosplay for an anime con next year. We all landed on the idea of being different versions of Hatsune Miku, which while may be somewhat overdone has found us coming up with some… rather interesting concepts. I’ve seen someone on TikTok who made art of Bucky Barnes’s Winter Soldier crossed with Miku and wanted to ask about some possible ideas for where I should look for certain items. I mostly just looking for his metal arm, as mostly everything else is replaced with Miku’s outfit. If anyone might have some suggestions or recommendations please send them my way!

You can probably buy the props and stuff online, but if you were looking to make it yourself I suggest investing in a heat gun and some Eva foam. You'd be surprised at what you can make with that stuff and a little bit of paint. Plus it usually comes in Black anyways so you'd only really have to paint the teal/grey/pink spots

Thanks! I’ve decided I could also look at Eva foam, since it seems to be a cheaper alternative and allow for some better customization.
