batskeets | Oy, costumery.

I am now in debate again about what I'm going to do for my Halloween costume. One of Alyson's posts reminded me of that idea we had to make Zoltan! outfits. (y'know, the bubble wrap people from Dude, Where's My Car?) I still think that would be hilarious, but I still wanna be Duo also.

And so, I make lists. :p

Duo Maxwell Costume
PRO: It'll look neat.
CON: If I can't put enough effort into it, it'll look like crap.
PRO: I have the materials already.
CON: I don't know if I have the time.
PRO: A great match with a Heero costume for James, and the yaoi implications alone make it worth doing. :D
CON: Kind of a boring concept by itself.
PRO: It'll be comfy! And black. And I won't be half-naked.
CON: Like the world needs *another* flabby Duo cosplayer with breasts. :p

Zoltan! Costume
PRO: It'll look neat.
CON: It'll probably break easily if I don't do it right.
PRO: It'll be easy to make.
CON: I'll have to buy an assload of bubblewrap. Which I can't. Because I don't have enough money. :p
PRO: It'll be hella funny all by itself, and I'll have an excuse to go around saying "ZOLTAN!!" and doing the hand thing. :D
CON: Dunno if James would be down with wearing spandex and bubblewrap for Halloween.
PRO: Being a disciple of a Hal Sparks character can't be all bad, even if it isn't Mikey from QAF. :D
CON: Bubblewrap = good, but Spandex = bad. Well, when it's on me, anyway.

From the look of things, I'm probably going to default to the Duo costume, because I'm poor. But I'm afraid that's going to mean that I'll have to be Saint Tail again or something because I won't get Duo finished. Grahhhhh.

Thoughts, anyone?
