Threw it together in a few hours so I would have something I could wear at the con that actually fit into my carryon luggage...damn the airlines and their checked baggage fees, I'm a cheapskate and I didn't want to pay! Recycling a wig bought for an entirely different character...check! Clothing pulled out of my closet...check! $2 belt from Goodwill...check!

I was originally going to do the Justice For All version, but the Hancock's and Joann's didn't have the stretch velvet I wanted to use in blue...I also realized that if I went the JFA route, I'd have to somehow find some teal pants that actually fit me (since I didn't have nearly enough time to make a pair).

I will probably eventually re-do it in a less thrown-together fashion, since it worked out pretty well as a compact costume idea. Pretty much the opposite of Max Galactica.

I only got mistaken for Riza Hawkeye once during the Saturday I wore the costume, I figured there'd be more than that. Most excellent.
