I created this costume for my boyfriend for Anime Boston 2012. While it is in a presentable "finished" form, there are a lot of changes/additions/fixes I would like to make for Anime Boston 2013.

The hat, shoulder pads, and other "armor" pieces are made of wonderflex which I "soldered" together with a hot glue gun. The mask is also wonderflex, shaped with a heat gun onto a plaster mold of Neige's face; the eyes are plastic from a juice bottle colored blue with a permanent marker. The "chains" on his arms are over 250 craft foam tiles glued to ribbons and secured to his shirt. The shirt base is made of jersey knit which I wrapped in muslin "bandages" which were then hand stitched down. The cape & skirt were colored with spray paint and also incorporate wonderflex details.

This costume was created for a complete Final Fantasy X aeons group initiated by Shiva. Counting two puppets (the Magus Sisters and Anima) we filled the roles of all 8 aeons and summoner Yuna. Due to technical difficulties our time presenting the group was limited but we have plans to improve all costumes and return for Anime Boston 2013.

Thank you! It was all Shiva's idea :)

We had a few snags this time around and plan to make improvements for next year so that we'll be able to wear them longer and actually allow more people to see than the few that lucked past us in the hour and a half we parked in the hall.
