bzarcherI need these.
Then I'll need the gloves.
And the hat.
And the glasses.
And the cravat.
And the coat + Waistcoat.
Black slacks can be had anywhere.
And I'll need a nice cross to use as a toothpick.
Yes, Steve, I'm gonna seriously look at an Alucard cosplay.

Steve may be out buying manga as we speak.

How is the box?

Date: 2004-03-21 10:48 am (UTC)These would probably get past the ban because of how ridiculously oversized they are.
I'm not sure they're worth it yet, but I'm kinda thinking about it. We'll see.

(I can't tell if the orange safety tip is supposed to come with the replica gun or if they give you one, but maybe

If it didn't have a safety tip, one could probably be made from plastic, though I dunno.
Even if they couldn't be worn a lot, they'd still be beautiful pieces. :D

Date: 2004-03-21 08:39 pm (UTC)It would still suck if they didn't get allowed at cons. I can't imagine Alucard taking out a wallet and showing people photos of his guns as if they were baby pictures. :P
