... Is this going to be a go-to kind of costume for you for a while?
We'll see. I went through quite an effort to build Vera for my Jayne getup last year at Phoenix Con, but I only wore it once after that (to Tucson Con for one day). Now, my Vera(s) hang on the wall (one at home and one at the office). And I've also built a complete full-scale Ecto Containment Unit along with my complete GB getup for use with my charity work (AZGB).
I just tend to latch onto a project and go full-bore until it's really sweet. I don't know if I'll use the Heavy getup after Phoenix Con or not. I really like building things, and with my limited time, I just build one thing at a time until it's as done as I want it (usually too many hours and too much time and money).
In the end, I think it will really depend on the reception I get and how much fun I have in it. If I have fun running around blasting with the minigun while shouting in a Russian accent and it results in lots of smiles, then I'll probably use it more.
