| After seeing a literal f*ckton of morphsuits at Download, cogs began turning. I've been thinking of doing a Deadpool costume for a while now, but have wondered and wondered how to go about it, as my physique is neither athletic nor is it even remotely close to one that would be suitable to have under spandex (exercise regime will start, I swear).
Thus my plans are such:
1x Red morphsuit 1x Pair of red camoflague combat trousers 1x Pair of plastic plated cycling gloves 1x Pair of combat boots (as following Download, my existing pair are extremely mudstained and have broken soles)
Adding onto this will be the black eye rings and the white eyes, as well as some way of making the black patterning down the torso, maybe as some kind of padding that will hopefully look somewhat like kevlar. I will also see about getting some kind of military style pouched belt thing, preferably in black.
The plastic plated gloves will have the Deadpool logo painted on the back-of-the-hand plating and the individual letters of Deadpool on each of the fingers. | |

| Well, it's about £35 for the morphsuit (minus P&P) and the trousers will be somewhere between £12-20 if the stall on Lincoln market still has them. Boots should be cheap if I can get 2nd hand ones again, or however much it'll be to repair the soles. As for various other parts, we'll have to burn that bridge when we come to it. Not going to be doing it right away as I need a job to pay for rent and bills, then food, before spending it on frivolities. | |

| Yeah it's all those little things that set me back with my Freya costume.
I look forward to hearing about how you get on with it, with pictures! | |

| First thing I'm likely to get are the trousers, then possibly the gloves.
And indeed, there shall be pictures.
When you say Freya, do you mean the Burmecian Dragon Knight of FFIX fame? | |

| The Burmecians and Cleyrans were such cool concepts. Freya was one of the better secondary characters (as I used Zidane, Garnet, Steiner and Vivi most). Sounds like it'd be an awesome costume. | |

| Dude, I don't need inspiration for Deadpool, especially as I'm kinda planning my own look, something a little more tactical-ops, as per my 'Marvel Otherverse' designs. And the patches need to be something more akin to the stuff you get backpacks and the like made from, as it is supposed to be somewhat military. | |

| Well, the trousers have been acquired, for £14.99 (win) and appear as such: However, this image doesn't give them the full justice of how loud and garish they are. This costume will be awesome ^^ | |

| He started as a side character connected to the X-Men franchise in the 90s I believe, but eventually got his own title and became Marvel's method of parodying themselves.
He also appeared very briefly in the 90s X-Men cartoon, when the shapeshifter Morph is talking to Wolverine, shifting through various forms relating to Wolverine's past, Deadpool being one of them.

| I didn't like Wolverine so much. It was okay to watch, but as a Marvelite it was a bit 'Hey let's canon-rape all of your favourite characters.'
Looking forward to the Deadpool solo film though, got Ryan Reynolds back as DP, which was good. | |

| I've found some things for my costume (Gods bless Army Surplus!) Belt Gloves
Also found this: Tactical Vest Which would be perfect, but it's so ruttin' expensive ><
Also found this rather shiny shirt, but that's nothing to do with the costume, I just like it.
Found elbow pads: Elbow pads! Sadly the knee pads are only in camo colour d'oh.
(Have found other vests on there though, so that's a good thing) | |

| Quick, crappy scribble of what I'm aiming for. Either gonna make my own utility vest or get one and find some way of affixing it to the morphsuit. | |
