Robin Arkham City costume

blacknova84 · 10-23-2011, 10:00 PM

Hey guys I'm currently in the planning stages for my Robin costume to wear to the Pittsburgh Comic-con next year. I have some questions though and am looking for information/ suggestions.

1. Where can I buy EVA foam, are there any stores that carry it or do I need to order this online ?

2. What about his belt ? Any Suggestions ?

3. The mask ? I don't have the means to sculpt anything right now as I'm staying with a friend, so is there anyone on here that sells these masks or does anyone have any other suggestions ?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

This is the coolest Robin I have ever seen. Who'd of thought boy wonder could look so badass.
You can usually find EVA foam or something like it at walmart or (up here anyways) at Canadian Tire.
You can try leather or vinyl work for the belt since it sort of looks like pouches in the pic. As for the buckle, you may have to try and find something.

You could always just paint the mask on with make up.

Thanks guys ! I actually searched the net and found a lot including the mask for sale. I'm thinking for the shirt that I'm going to buy a tactical vest (the ones without the pockets) and refabric it with red fabric after I build up spots on it with EVA foam, I'm going to wear a under armor shirt underneath that matches the fabric. Then sew the Robin insignia on the upgraded vest. The Gauntlets are going to be fingerless tactical gloves with EVA foam over them to make the "armor" part. The boots will be made using this same method. I'm going to order the vest later this wee

I also want to make a Arkham City Robin costume
I'm going to use EVA foam for gauntlet and shin guards
Belt will be difficult, and I think I'm going to use a red under armor shirt and buy a second one to use for the armor part, but idk, i havent found a good tactical vest
Any links?

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

It's through Sears off all places. Like I said it needs modified a little but for 44 bucks that's ok.

Trenta30 · 10-24-2011, 07:40 PM

oh! nah, i dont like it, im going to try my method when i get money -_____-

BobbyS95 · 10-25-2011, 08:29 AM

That is the most badass Robin I've ever seen

Russ257 · 10-25-2011, 10:00 AM

Master Dahark · 10-25-2011, 10:13 AM

Fishybob · 10-25-2011, 10:23 AM

Does anyone know where I could get black pants with red blood stripes because I am going to make this costume

Russ257 · 10-26-2011, 07:58 AM

Do we have a side view? What do you think the thinkness of that stripe is?

roccopeterbilt · 10-26-2011, 08:58 AM

This isn't my instructable, but I immediately thought it would be perfect for this type of mask.

elvenisman2 · 10-26-2011, 09:00 PM

I'm making this same costume and I found the pants at walmart for $12 picture's already uploaded in my thread and I just put up a good idea on how to make the shirt but after i finish mine if you want to try it that way but im gonna make a better one after monday comes

RAVAGE06 · 11-01-2011, 07:39 AM

the way i'm making my mask is, i'm cutting the pattern out of my old wolverine mask

BobbyS95 · 11-30-2011, 05:38 PM

How is the costume coming?

loganallenwolf · 12-01-2011, 08:38 AM

I know Brad at Austin Costumes Custom Halloween Renaissance Carnaval has made this costume if that helps:

BladeRunner · 12-01-2011, 02:19 PM

Great idea any idea on how he made it?

radicalryan · 12-01-2011, 02:28 PM

what would u use for the staff bow?

berserk wolf · 12-01-2011, 05:16 PM

My main question on the costume that Brad made is how he made the belt. Everything else looks simple. I think I'm doing a combination of Animated Series and Arkham City.....since I don't want to shave my head lol and I'm just 19 years old lol so yeah haha

arods3 · 12-01-2011, 07:26 PM

I am willing to shave my head just to get that look for an up coming party.
