God those are THE WORST Halloween costumes.

Only the tiniest of children don't realize that a blow-molded mask and a garbage-bag poncho with a picture of the character on it is ultra :effort:

I've never understood how it's any harder to make the front look like the character's chest instead of a nonsensical picture of them.

Look, it's what we GOT in the late 70s/early 80s and shut up my Skeletor one was awesome.

I was a tiny child at the time, but a tiny child leaping out from behind the door to give out candy and still scaring older kids left a biased impression! :3:

Kate Beaton's excellent Kraven the Hunter got me looking for any Hark a Vagrant related cosplays, but there are no Strong Female Characters (genderswapped or otherwise), to be found.

It's probably for the best.

Some of the ponchos did look like the character's outfit, but the more absurd ones they just used a logo or picture.

If I ever do cosplay at a convension, I'm totally doing the smock and bad face mask thing.

I remember seeing a Superman one in the grocery store as a child. The smock had a picture of Superman, and it included a red domino mask because they couldn't think of anything for the face. I wanted a Superman costume, but even I knew that was loving stupid.

Check out Spider-Man's waist and hips in this Boris Vallejo painting. When drawing Spider-Man, he'd have his wife Julie Bell model because the character's classic poses are difficult for the male pelvis to pull off.

I wish I could find it but years ago I read an interview with a woman who worked at Marvel's offices in the 70s who pointed out to the man (possibly Stan?) in charge at the time that yes, women noticed how Puritanically smooth the crotches were on heroes leaping full-bore legs askew at the viewer. This was long before the Internet got up in arms about this sort of thing, but still an early version of how disparate and double-standard-y the medium - and by extension much of the cosplay - was and is in many circles.

Nah, that's intentional, see, before Peter Parker goes out to patrol, he takes one of those plastic cards that you get with screen covers and gives his junk a once-over and that pushes out the bubble in the suit. :pseudo:

Anime witchblade looks like foam boob armor (or, actually, all foam armor, boob and shoulder and whatnot), not sculpey. It'd be a hell of a lot more comfortable anyway.
