    Jun 29, 2012 - Zombie Wolverine #1

    So I guess I'll join in the fun in this new forum! Here is my Zombie Wolverine that I made back in 2010. Looking at it now, there's so much I'd change about it, but I was still very new to costuming at that point.

    It's based off the Marvel Zombies series, but I didn't try to make it comic-correct. I just used them as inspiration. It took me the better part of 3 months to put it together, and I spent about $1000 when all was said and done (a lot of it on trial and error).

    The cowl is a modified cheap latex cowl that I painted. The face is foam latex. The spandex is one of those cheap ones you see on eBay (which are way too thin, BTW). I made the shoulder thingies (what ARE those things called?) out of plastic, but they never did sit right on my shoulders. I sewed the gloves from scratch, which was something I had never done before. Boots I had commissioned, and the claws are a set based on the film version.

    I may eventually do a version 2.0 of this, with a proper cowl, silicone face, decent spandex, and correct claws.

    I seem to remember it is, in some instances..like when he's fighting nuke and is almost completely destroyed, down to his skeleton, and he has an adamantium skull..



    but then, in marvel: zombies, it isn't. weird old universe they must live in!!





    irrespective... thats one awesome costume!!

    And keeps us fanboys and Fangirls on our toes and arguing endless with fellow fans over which is 'right' and 'wrong'. There are no real rights and wrongs, not with how many 'remakes' of everything in various forms lol


    I loved the Marvel Zombies, Great idea for a Costume. And gloves can be a nightmare on first try so good on you.
