Book of Eibon, Chapter 1 version Dr. Franken Stein
For Anime Boston 2011 I will be doing a female version of Franken Stein from Soul Eater inspired by the Spartoi group (Klick, Maka, Black Star and weapons) going after Kid who has been trapped in the Book of Eibon. Each chapter is one of the seven deadly sins and when the kids reach the chapter on Lust they switch gender. So fun.
I also have a thing for doing gender-switch cosplay, not to be confused with crossplay which is flat out cross dressing. So this idea was born.
Here is what Stein looks like in his fight scene with Medusa from the anime as made into a figure that I covet holy cow.
Female!Stein will wear fishnets, a dress that mimics the shirt and pants he wears, have heels instead of shoes of the same color and with painted stitches, a longer hair style, glasses, and the labcoat (not pictured) that he wears.
I met a few stein cosplayers at Otakon this year and most seemed to either not bother making his screw make noise or they used the guts from one of those New Years Eve sort of noise makers. I think my pill bottle idea was good, but now I’m not so sure. Besides, the sound is actually mechanical… go here and you can hear it for yourselves… Hmm… not sure how I’d mimic that, but here’s the shematic I gave propsmistress cachalot (she’s also making the scythe!!). Also, the headband goes under the wig and the pieces will be screwed in through it.
Any ideas on how to get a metallic sort of sound into this??
