Hey everyone!
So, it's been a long time since I updated this, so I thought I would share.
My partner's Boushh is pretty much at the finish line. We had to a few alterations with some items to ensure that she was comfy. Considering Audrey is not much of a costumer, my primary goal throughout this process was to ensure that she enjoyed wearing the costume, and that she wasn't uncomfortable to the point of hating the experience and never wearing it again.
One of the biggest obstacles were the pants. We ended up grabbing a pair of pants from Value Village that were comfortable for her, and then draped a leather-like material overtop. The issue here was that the pants and the material were not the same colour so I spent quite a bit of time learning how to dye and colour the pants properly. The materials were also different in how they accepted dye and paint....it was a process
I'm still not overly happy with the colour as I believe it to be more of a lighter tan than a rusted colour (even though some 12 inch figures look like they have more of a rust colour pant). Special thanks to Fangs for helping us out with the soft parts! No way could we have done it without you.
The tunic also seems to really change colour in the light. Some photos will have her with the correct colour...others will darken it quite a bit. *sigh.
We're holding off on the staff for now. I think she wants to see if she really needs it. But if she's anything like me, she'll probably want it eventually. I always find myself wondering what to do at events where blasters aren't allowed. My hands always feel so naked
She has also said no to the voice changer which I'm surprised about. I think the amount of real estate in the helmet is a big concern for her and putting a mic setup in there will just be too much.
Anywho, here are her submission photos, plus a few from her first unofficial troops
A few things that I still need to do are change her balaclava from black to brown, and add the clips to the spats.
Looking back on this project....yeah....even trying to do this costume on a budget, it was still close to $1000. Bounty Hunters aren't cheap
The couple that bounty hunts together, stays together
