EDIT: 16/10/09 Kakashi has been sold - thanks *Soul-of-the-wolf ! I do still have the Kakashi shoes though, if anyone is interested.

EDIT: 4/11/09 Bleach costume has been sold! I still have the orange cosworx scruffy wig though, if anyone is interested.

Cross-posted to CNZ.

So this is a bit late notice with less than two weeks till the con, lol, but it kept slipping my mind. >.< So here we are! All of these costumes were home-made - not commercially produced.

My brother (Admin on CNZ) wore this one for the competition last year, but has since grown too big for it. The costume is accurate to every detail we could find in our reference images, featuring a double sided zipper, a piped patch on the sleeve (so it's 3D), and machine washability! The only part of the costume that cannot be machine washed is the whistle, which is attached by velcro and can be removed. The wig is a custom dyed and styled Cosworx Scruffy, which does have some netting showing, but the netting is only visible if you aren't wearing the headband.

Sizing:
Jacket:
• Chest: 72cm
• Hip: 76cm
Pants: Hip: 70cm before stretch - 85cm at maximum stretch
Shoes: I believe they're a ladies size 9, but the sole is 27.5cm long if that helps.

Includes: Wig, Jacket, Pants, Shoes (Headband and Kunai not included, but both are easily found on trademe)

Asking Price: $150. If the shoes aren't your size, I'm happy to sell them separately and knock the price down to $120.

Kakashi [The same Kakashi featured in just about all of this year's promo material]

This one was worn by my now ex-boyfriend, who has since lost interest in the cosplay scene. I warn you now, this costume was so popular that we took twice the time travelling everywhere because he kept getting stopped for photos! The wig is a Cosworx Punky which was custom styled, and this costume is also accurate to all of the reference images we found.

Sizing:
• Chest: 90cm
• Waist: 78.25cm
• Hip: 95cm
Shoes: Not quite sure - NZ Men either 10 or 11 I think - 29cm long sole

Includes: Wig, Mask, Bodysuit, Vest, Gloves, Butt pouch (large enough to hold a volume of manga), shoes. (Icha Icha Paradise and Headband are not included but found easily on trademe; bandages are not included but can be bought from any chemist.)

Asking Price: $150. If the shoes aren't your size, I'm happy to sell them separately and knock the price down to $125. I also have one unused sharingan contact lense which available for $25.

Kakashi shoes available for $25 - NZ Men either 10 or 11 I think - 29cm long sole

Made for ACP 2008 and worn by the same now ex-boyfriend, this costume works for most Bleach characters, but I do have an unstyled Orange Cosworx Scruffy for this costume as an Ichigo wig. I'm happy to sell the wig separately though. (This costume is the larger sized pictured on the left, not the Hanatarou costume on the right)

Sizing:
Gi/Juban: Essentially one size fits all, but was made for a 90cm chest
Hakama: Essentially one size fits all, but has a minimum of 60cm and an estimated maximum of 160cm

Includes: Wig, Gi (black overshirt), Juban (white undershirt), Hakama (pants) (shoes not included; we just used jandals. :sweat: )

Pricing: $100 including wig, $65 without wig. Will sell the wig separately for $35.

Made for Auckland Armageddon 2007 and reworn for ACP 2008, this was one of My brother (Admin on CNZ)'s costumes that he has since outgrown the clothing for, leaving us with the accessories.

Sizing: Harness is a little small on me, so I would guess that anything under 90cm chest and 74cm waist would be fine.
Shoes: From memory are a ladies size 8.

Includes: Brown shoulder-harnessy-thing, white sash, red tie for Gourd, Gourd, shoes. (T-shirt, pants and bandages not included)

Pricing: Waiting on my brother to decide - make an offer?

Dark Mousey:

Made for my brother (Admin on CNZ) for Auckgeddon 2008 - now too small. Wig is a custom styled purple Punky from Cosworx. The shirt is fully lined and faced, but the bias is not sewn on terribly nicely looking on the arm-holes.

Sizing:
Chest: 72cm
Hip: 76cm

Includes: Wig, Shirt

Pricing: $45

Shoes: Apparently a size 6 - 26cm sole (measured from bottom of shoe)

Pricing: $60?

Made for my brother (Admin on CNZ) out of modified existing clothing for Auckland Armageddon 2007.

Sizing: Will have to check, but I think is a men's L or XL

Includes: Red singlet (design painted on front only), headband (is a little tight due to fabric paint not stretching very well), neckerchief (white under t-shirt, pants and shoes not included)

Pricing: $40?

All prices are in NZD, and if you have any questions feel free to ask! Shipping is at the buyer's costs, and pick up is fine by me. I will be crossposting this to CNZ and the geddon forums so long as it's permitted there as well. n_n
