Budget RPC Paint Homecoming alternative

As most of you know Therpcstudios offers a very high quality Spiderman Homecoming suit but of course this comes at a premium. After you've added extras like a faceshell with magnetic lenses, magnetic web shooters and web cartridge your at $960.

Items like forearm zippers and crotch zippers are at no additional cost but after shipping your still looking at a cool $1000. Some things that make this premium is it's basketball like texture, separately screen printed black areas giving them a raised appearance as well as 3D front and back spider. Also it's printed on color fabric like red on red fabric and blue on blue fabric instead of just on white so colors are much brighter.

This is the RPCSTUDIO details of the suit

Not very detailed but okay lol

And some pictures

Now the budget suit store zentaizone seems to have somewhat of a competitor to the RPC Paint suit. They call it the Homecoming Leather Lycra Spiderman costume V2. This suit has leather black accents as opposed to RPC's extra screen printed ones and also has a 3D front and back spider. Extras like forearm zippers and crotch zippers are extra but fairly inexpensive. Their face shell and lenses aren't that good so I would opt for the RPC version and since zentaizone doesn't offer webshooters or cartridges I would get those from the RPCSTUDIO as well.

After shipping the zentaizone suit will cost you $169.50. Therpcstudios suit starts at $630 before you add anything.

Ordering the faceshell with magnetic lenses, web shooters and web cartridges from RPCSTUDIO adds another $369 after shipping. Add the suit cost and your at $538.50 total with all shipping included. That's nearly half the price.

Now I won't argue that the zentaizone suit will match in quality because it won't. The RPCSTUDIO suit is still much higher quality. I also won't argue that zentaizone picked a ****ty model to show off their suit because they did but at half the price I think it comes pretty damn close.

$538.50 vs $1000

I don't know about you but I could do a lot with an extra $460 in my pocket. Just my opinion. What do you guys think?

I had a shooting yesterday with a friend that bought the zeintaizone Spidey and it wasn't bad at all. Unfortunately it's the only pic I have at the moment.

Yeah I've seen a lot and for the price they are pretty damn good. I had an RPCSTUDIO Homecoming suit before they offered the RPC Paint version and it was okay. One thing that bothered me was the process they used to glue in the shoes had glue that had been absorbed by the lycra and starting to seep out as it dried so both feet had glue stains on them. I was going to complain but I guess it's a common thing with them. I had a Spidey4fun Raimi replica with glued in water or wet shoes and no problem. His suit also was much better in quality from colors to feel even to sew lines. For some reason a lot if these suits both RPC and zentaizone have this weird pinch in the fabric right above the chest spider. A LOT if not all have it. Again Spidey4fun was flawless. It was also $800 with no face shell or anything fancy. Just lenses attached to the mask and. Urethane spider front and back. I wish he would do more suits. He does Raimi, TASM2 ( his suit was used in super power beatdown spiderman vs Darth Maul. If you haven't seen it go check it out) and a bunch of stuff no one cares about. If he started making Homecoming suits pshhhhh game over.

For the Faceshell/Lenses, you can do better on pricing if you go elsewhere. TJack on this forum makes really nice ones for example, but you do have to do some assembly work. He has a thread in the projects runs forum called MCU/Civil War/Homecoming Faceshell and Lenses Kits. I believe the RPC shells are foam, whereas TJack's are a plastic. Worth checking out, there are other people who make shells/lenses too.

I had the RPC faceshell and it felt like plastic. I know that there are better options for lenses and faceshells. I was going for as close to what the full RPC Paint deal would be vs the new zentaizone suit with the same extras as the RPC suit.

I know Zentai-Zentai are working on screen printing suits, I'm going to leave a few pictures of what they are doing. The homecoming suit is what they are working on now, but they said they could screen print other suits as well but i'm not sure of the price but I'm sure it'll be better than RPC prices. I kinda think the suit will look close to the movie suit by what they posted so far, I know they haven't had they best reputation on here but I think they're worth a shot :) They also have WEB WINGS! haha. The bands and spiders are rubber for the screen printed suit. They also have a suit that has matte leather details and is available now, here's some screenshots from my phone hope this helps :)

I got some screenshots of the suit with matte leather details and web wings. The suit uses Gun-Head Designs aka Orhadar's pattern for the suit. I think it looks good!

i think i might get the screen printed zentai zentai homecoming suit when its out. from what saw, the front spider is better quality than the rpc studios. to me it looks good for a zentai zentai suit. kinda looks overall better quality.

True dat my man[emoji1] If I had the money I'd buy it as well, it does look better in quality than RPC to me as well for the price and kinda altogether even though RPC had color fabric instead of white lycra, it just doesn't need muscle shading and it will look much more movie accurate [emoji106]

I think they said on their Facebook they can print on small pieces right now, which to me sounds like they cant print the full piece of Lycra that has been dye sublimated. I think they have to cut the pieces out to screen print them at this moment. Also since they said they will screen print other suits soon, I do believe you can have Ken Landrums pattern screen printed as well or another free Homecoming pattern from Crazy Franky on Sellfy. Quick note, Crazy Franky modifies Kens patterns and offers them for FREE! He's got many versions of all his patterns including his deadpool, ASM2 and Raimi Spiderman patterns! Its worth a look to see if they will screen print those patterns especially since Kens has no muscle shading [emoji2]

Glad I could help you guys! To be honest zentai-zentai has come a long way from when they started. I ordered a deadpool suit from them and I love it! Actually now that I think about it, wouldn't a screen printed deadpool suit by them be awesome! Anyway I'll be getting this as well when I get enough money [emoji4]

Your not littering anything. More options is more options. I downloaded that file because I think it looks great and it was free but the details are there for sure. I like this pattern.
