My "The Walking Dead" Rick Grimes Season 5 / Season 6 ish Costume Pics

[TaskenLander]

For the second consecutive (and final) year, I went to Wizard World Comic Con as Rick Grimes from TWD. Last year, I did a Season 3 rendition of the character (which can be found linked -- and I'm sure continuously ignored haha -- below).

For this year, I more or less used the same costume bits but purchased a replica of his Season 4 jacket, washed/redyed the shirt, added the red handled machete and the all too important AK.

I once again weathered everything and added the sterile strips to my face. I painted my prop weapons "realistically" (they were of course checked and tagged at the door) and added cardboard and metallic tape to make the real machete "con safe".

Costume may not be 100% TV accurate but I am pretty pleased with how it can out given the time and budget allowed.

Below are a few pics. Hope (someone) enjoys haha.

Thanks! I purchased the jacket from newamericanjackets.com. The Shirt and AK both were found on ebay. The Shirt is 'Banana Republic' and I dyed it somewhat to make it more accurate to the one he wears.

Nice job! I used the same Rick pic as inspiration as well. On the duty belt between the holster and cuff case, what is that? I've been trying to locate the same thing, but don't know if it's an ammo pouch or flashlight case or what.

Thank you. There was some debate here in the 'replica props' portion of the site whether or not it is a Leatherman folding tool/knife pouch or a 9mm pouch but in all the searching that I did the closet thing in size that I could find was this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311487365298?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

It was only available in brown though so I had to dye it black with black shoe polish which took no time at all. It's definitely not 100% accurate but for the price and time allowed it was the closet thing I could find.

Hope this helps,
Mike

that looks like a tex shoemaker swivel ...thay made em for motor officers. i think Tex shoemaker closed
Ted Blocker holsters makes the closest thing to it

 

[Matthew Gresham]

It's a Tex Shoemaker 42a to be exact, and the only ones I've found have been over $300

Looks great! I love the little details, like the blood on the watch.
Also, as for it not being 100% screen accurate...There are the people who get intense about stuff like that, but cosplay is also meant to be enjoyable. However you enjoy it, go for it, man.
