(Part 2) Best men costume accessories according to redditors

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00I8S3DBE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500796871&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=medieval+helmet&dpPl=1&dpID=518d1dAHQgL&ref=plSrch

You will never have the perfect garb at your first event, but you can have some pretty cool garb.

I recommend contacts, black out contacts if you can afford them. They can give you some big wow points

Practice makeup the weeks before. A lot of the characters personality will come from the face. YouTube tutorials. I liked this one: https://youtu.be/Xzm9nzAQe4U, but if it's an outdoor or combat larp it may not be appropriate.

Next I will recommend a corset. Corsets are easy to buy, comfortable, and sexy as hell no matter your shape. Here's an example of what I would look into getting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ESYASXM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_k-xJxb81BDKWY

Last depends on the character's personality. You can either do a skirt or pants. I'd do a pair of pleather pants because that's the type of character I play. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U83KYIM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uiyJxbMK49XWC

Something else you could look into is hair. I'd dye my hair black and spike it, but my hair is short. You could also look into getting a wig. Sometimes you can get the look you want without a wig which is what I'd recommend if you can. Long and straight is a classic, but high ponytail is dominatrixy.

Tit-bits here and there can really make a character shine. Pop into your local thrift store to check out belts, jewelry, and non costume props like a goblet or black leather boots.

Head jewelry is a must for any princess. Something like this maybe: https://www.etsy.com/listing/202284704/gold-headdress-gold-head-chain-boho

Add some sculpy horns. There are so many tutorials on this. If you're budget is a little more fluffy buy some horns like: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JH8T9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0uyJxb2CTFW3A I'd spray paint them to look like bone and reenforce the horns with clips and better elastic for active wear.

Fangs might be a good idea too. I normally use scarecrow brand for those. They're inexpensive and look good. It's a good bang for your buck

Really what it comes down to is the characters purpose and personality. I'd do a combat succubus because that's what I would enjoy playing (lust and wrath are easy for me). You could also do an extremely useful vain daemon and be painfully georgeous, you could never do combat and get away with a lot better costuming. I don't know what your budget is either. I normally drop $100 on any character I start, but you could be rich. I don't know.

hahahaah I sent this image to my two best friends as what I was ordering to wear to my baby shower and they were trying to be super supportive thinking I was serious and then I sent them this and said I thought this accessory would go well https://www.amazon.com/elope-U8730-T-Rex-Dinosaur-Hat/dp/B001F29HR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474378164&sr=8-2&keywords=dinosaur+hat

One Pope hat coming right up! (Seriously, Amazon has everything!)

Get a Rubies blaster and paint it.

EDIT: Here ya go. That's the cheapest option; they often dip down to around $12. Some light sanding, a coat of silver and a coat of matte Black spray (I like Tamiya) will get you a decent, if not totally accurate blaster for around $30 or so. The next step up would be an accurate blaster, such as that from a resin kit (Doopydoo), or pre-fab replica (Hyperion); these options will cost you over $100 in the end.

Are you going for approval? The Black Series helmet will have to go, fair warning!

Here ya go

If there's a chance you'll attend again, grab a pair of these to wear. It will add needed flair to strengthen your image.

Completely unrelated.

I too must fill my empty life with random awesomeness. Consider yourself fulfilled: http://smile.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Flipeez/dp/B00MMOVKJM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419616235&sr=8-3&keywords=tmnt+hat

Full disclosure: I own a Provari and I absolutely love it.

I would go for the healthcabin order. The VMax really is an astounding quality mod. It is the best VV tube mod to ever come out of china and is very well made. Is it a Provari? No, of course it's not. It will likely fail within 4 years. But that's still 4 years of use.

I almost picked up that DSE 601C pipe yesterday at dragonflyecigs (for $24 more than healthcabin has it for). I know I'll end up getting a jazz carto pipe eventually, but for the price, it just seems like a no brainer. Be sure to pick up these to go with the pipe:

http://www.amazon.com/Elope-Silver-Monocle-Eyepiece/dp/B004TD5HLQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1346686862&sr=8-5

http://www.amazon.com/Jacobson-Hat-Co-Inc-Black/dp/B00362OJ06/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1346686862&sr=8-7

Found one https://www.amazon.com/Beard-Head-Dwarf-Warrior-Beanie/dp/B017LDM9ZC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=dwarf%2Bwarrior%2Bbeard%2Bbeanie&qid=1563207859&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1

They are rather large. Depending on your son's age, the head may just swallow his shoulders and give him an awkward, neckless, bobble-headed look. None of the available animals make a very good base for Sonic, either.

What I recommend, instead, is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/GE-Animation-GE-2380-Sonic-Hedgehog/dp/B003R1HS0Y?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

Just add some white fabric where the eyes go and black for the pupils (make sure there's some mesh somewhere in there for visibility, of course!) As for the mouth area, I don't really know. Leaving it clear might look awkward but it would allow him to breathe and speak more easily.

Thanks man I wish I was that talented, I think these are what I picked up: https://www.amazon.com/elope-Costume-Accessory-Adjustable-Headband/dp/B00IOXLFUY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538278369&sr=8-3&keywords=rams+horns

I try to change my voice up. I'm not particularly good at it, but I'll practice on my way to the session and just role with it the best I can.

On my dwarf I wear this 100% of the time we're at the table in game.

Dope wig

I have a 3 year old that wanted to be a Ghostbuster so let me help you out:

Proton Pack - The rubies pack doesn't have lights or sound but looks pretty good and is perfectly scaled for a smaller child. The spirit pack might be a little too big and heavy for a little guy: https://www.amazon.com/Rubies-Costume-Classic-Ghostbusters-Backpack/dp/B01CIOHLAM

The uniform can be bought a few different ways. Spirit does sell a pretty good quality one that comes with the Venkman name tag: https://www.spirithalloween.com/product/tv-movies-gaming/movies/ghostbusters/kids-ghostbusters-boys-one-piece-costume-ghostbusters-classic/pc/1382/c/3810/sc/1471/150345.uts?thumbnailIndex=9

If your kiddo is like mine, it might be too big. I would suggest checking out a store and trying it on first. If it is too big, you best alternative might be this flight suit from Amazon. While it's exactly screen accurate, the sizing most likely is for a little one and you can remove all the patches and sew on the GB ones: https://www.amazon.com/Aeromax-Fighter-Pilot-Suit-Embroidered/dp/B00X1AOO7G/ref=sr_1_3?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1537216807&sr=1-3&keywords=kids+flight+suit

As for the name tags/patches if you go with the Amazon flight suit, I have bought from the seller below with great success. She has a quick turnaround (1 to 2 days before shipping) and the quality is pretty good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TODDLER-Ghostbusters-No-Ghost-1-Custom-Name-Tag-Patch-Set-Iron-on-backed/390932212275?epid=1931622681&hash=item5b05602a33:g:-7cAAMXQBLNTlfyh:sc:USPSFirstClass!86323!US!-1

Lastly, the accessories like goggles and trap would most likely be best bought from spirit. The size of the goggles is a little small and fit my kids pretty well. The trap will be a little big but I am sure you son will have a blast playing with it (it looks like the trap is sold out online but I am sure you can find one in store). Here is the link to the goggles: https://www.spirithalloween.com/product/light-up-ghostbusters-ecto-goggles-ghostbusters/164359.uts?Extid=sf_froogle

It's in stock!

Should just buy a old pilots cap. That’s what Jager looks like he is wearing.

I like these affordable options, I have the foam one that I bought last year. It's not completely movie quality, but much better than those inflatable ones.

It's on Amazon.com.

Think that's it. I need one.

I'm not trying to be mean .... But I really thought she was wearing one of glasses masks that has a fake nose attached to the fake glasses.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004941E4O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

Took me a while to figure out that was her nose.

I have a friend who is a drummer in a literal garage band. When people tailgate him, he air-drums violently on the steering wheel, purposely swerves, and fluctuates speed. If they get upset and pass him angrily, he'll throw on those goofy glasses and stare at them.

Yeah, I hope he doesn't die.

You should.

does this work?

Does he wear hats? You could get him a thematic hat to wear while playing. Something like this or this as examples.

Novelty Pink Squid with Long Tentacles Party Hat Cap Costume Accessory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVXH2HS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_knguDb257HK68

Heres the squid hat
I think the other is just a green morph suit

Wait nvm

what about this? haha

Red mushroom guy for comparison

Closeist thing I can find nothing shows up for cloth version https://www.amazon.com/Replica-Vintage-Leather-Aviator-Helmet/dp/B00K28ZNWK/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=World+War+One+flying+cap&qid=1571542682&s=apparel&sr=1-8

I need these so that I may frolic in the fields without judgement. You see, when I frolic I get looks like "Why is that person frolicing, that's weird." But if you see someone wearing huge ram horns frolicing in a field, you say "Why is that person wearing ram horns? That's weird" and you forget to judge them for the frolicing!

Thus I shall be free to prance and skip at my leisure.

You are very welcome, and might I just add that it looks very spiffy on you. I now feel like I have to save up and get you the fez too.

here's for the helmet: https://www.amazon.com/Smiffys-Medieval-Crusader-Helmet-Moveable/dp/B00I8S3DBE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=crusader+helmet&qid=1563001002&s=gateway&sr=8-1
