Wow looks AWESOME Alex!!! How much was the skin suit?? I wanna get one next year

 

[Alex Hayashi]

Including crotch zipper it costed me £69.78. Annoyingly it does come with a head which I was not aware of it. Gotta cut it off now.

Looks great man. I can't tell on my phone but have you added the netting or was it in the print?

I added the netting after. As you can see it pulling down, gonna have to clip it up to my neck.

Oh yeah, here's it with my unpainted head.

Considering I have no airbrush set up this post probably just saved me almost $800.

Considering buying one of these suits, anyone got any pictures?

Alex from which company did you decide to buy your suit? how thick is it? does it get hot inside the suit, if yes, bearable?

Zentai-Zentai, it isn't that thick. I've only worn it for a few hours and wasn't that hot though I've yet to experience it at a con but it should be bearable in full costume.

thank you so much for your feedback .
i will need to size myself up to order.

do you think it is prone to tears?

I'm 6'2 and skinny, I went with a medium and fits well. I doubt it unless you really wear it out, had foam stuffed inside and no problems.

Just be aware that if you purchase a genuine "MORPHSUIT" brand suit they will probably print the big ass logo across the back.

I have to do 2 morph suit paint ups for my build and I'm not looking forward to it. This might be a good alternative unless it costs to much.
I have one of the MORPHSUIT brands suits with the logo and was going to use it as a test suit to get the air brush pattern correct. I was also thinking about doing the design digitally in Photoshop so I had something to go off of when painting.

Quick question, who makes the morphsuite?
is it possible to pay extra for them not to put a tacky logo on it?

If I may interject, there isn't any giant logos on mine clearly visible.

What material did you have them use for the suit?

That netting looks great. Where was that from. I've just started a costume and nearly done with the helmet. The rest is getting built in my head so far and I don't know where to get the netting from. Any help would be appreciated.
