It's all Mako-chan's fault! After we finished watching Tennimon, Mako-chan jokingly suggested that I make this costume. I laughed it off at first, but within a week, I'd bought the first few items I needed to begin the fiberglass project. The reason the cost and manhours on this costume are relatively unknown is because of the fact that I was working with a medium that was still fairly new to me. I do not think that the costume went in excess of 300.00... but I can't begin to guess on the manhours on this one. The shoulder bits alone kept me busy off and on from February all the way up to January. I can easily say that the worst aspect of this costume was the bow. We had it all figured out.. but because we made it the same size as the one in the anime, we encountered many problems with crowds. This is definitely a bad costume to wear in the halls. It simply gets in everyone's way.
