SUPER GETO SENTAI FORCE 16

PROFESSOR GETO has called forth people of all ages and walks of life
to aid the world in defeating the nefarious DOCTOR GRUNGE! You,
everyday citizens of the world, are to become heroic Sentai and team
up to defeat the threatening menace of radioactive giant monsters!
Now, go to the Laboratory and create the heroic uniforms you need to
fight!

Rules:

1.No entry fee, but all entrants (Sentai) must have a valid Katsucon
membership. Also, we ask that people bring 2 “things” - boxes, fabric
scraps, broken toys, articles of clothing, and so forth. Just dollar
store or thrift shop stuff, or things you were going to get rid of
anyway, one of these days. No spending a lot of money! Items can be
used but MUST be clean. All items are added to the Laboratory for all
to scrounge from.

2.Katsucon will provide scissors, duct tape, safety pins, markers,
scraps of fabric, and/or whatever else can be scrounged up to be added
to the Laboratory.

3.All Sentai must show up to the dance in street clothes. Because
Sentai are from all walks of life!

4.Sentai may be of any age, but must be willing to pose, talk, shout,
and most of all, dance!

5.Sentai may bring an honorable butler, loyal friend, or comedy
sidekick to assist with construction of the heroic sentai uniform.
Assistants don't get a reward of their own...but loyal assistants
should be used to that by now.

6.Once in the Laboratory, all Sentai and their extremely loyal but
otherwise pretty smart assistants have ONE HOUR to make their official
battle uniforms!

7.Sentai are encouraged to help each other! For that is what it means
to be a hero!

8.When ONE HOUR is up, all Sentai will be called forth to confront the
really quite evil DOCTOR GRUNGE and prove their worth!

"The Super Geto (pronounced ghetto) Sentai Force 16" is a impromptu
cosplay challenge that anyone can enter just by bringing themselves
and materials for the lab. You could bring cardboard, construction
paper, tape, plastic, etc. to contribute. The SGSF will then be called
forth to Professor Geto's side to defend the dance from the nefarious
Dr.Grunge who hopes to eliminate joy from the youth and spread
non-dancing (whatever that is) to all corners of the con! You are our
only hope!

This all occurs at the dance on friday night, the lab will be open for con-
cocting an hour or so before the dance. The whole of the action will play
out during the first hour or so of the dance. The theme won't affect what
you hear at the dance, I assure you Doktor Grunge will NOT WIN! Erm, well
I mean, you can just come to dance if it so moves ya!

On a personal note, i'm excited for this tons!

A little history on sentai:

The Super Sentai Series (スーパー戦隊シリーズ, Sūpā Sentai Shirīzu) is the name given to the long running Japanese superhero team genre of shows produced by Toei Company Ltd., Toei Agency and Bandai, and aired by TV Asahi ("Super" refers to their use of mecha, and "sentai" is the Japanese word for "task force" or, literally, "fighting squadron" and was also a term used for Japanese squadrons in WWII). The shows are of the tokusatsu genre, featuring live action characters and colorful special effects, and are aimed mainly at children. This series is one of the most prominent tokusatsu productions in Japan, alongside the Ultra Series, the Kamen Rider Series, and the Metal Hero Series, and was adapted in the United States as Power Rangers.

Subscribing to this thread like WHOA.

Should be a lot of fun, it's inspired by the people who make armor
out of mountain dew boxes and the like. I've always been happy
to see such impromptu costume skills, whether super well constructed
or not, it's very ingenious. This will be goofy and lighthearted
for sure.

Definitely wanna do this ^_^

[Nitro]

wow, this sounds totally amazing XD

[Paxus]

I should add are prizes aren't all given away on just
costumes. It's almost all about how into it you are.
We have some random categories that will
make this way goofier a time.

Also you could also plan out a pattern before the con
and bang it out pretty quick in the "lab".

oh so excited,

Question, can our designs be based on existing characters?

[Paxus]

For shure, just has to be hewn together in the lab.
We were thinking of posting pictures/drawings for
inspiration for those not entirely well-versed in sentai
shows or whatnot. It'll be the little creative flourishes
that will make things interesting for shure.

Awesome, thanks!

[Paxus]

Personally, i'm going to be part of the "This end up" Rangers.
Our catch phrase will be, "This will probably end up bad!".

Okay maybe it needs a little work.

Bumping this up for a friend who could not locate the info
on here.

ps excited for this!

[Zipchan]

Paxus, around what time do you think this will start?

[Paxus]

That's one of the unfortunate things to this, the actual start
of the dance is at 1am. The lab will be open around 11ish the
contest just happens at the beginning of the dance. So its not
too too late if you're into that. Honestly the crazy folks who are
into doing this later on is kind of the fun of it, but we'll see.

How did I miss this thread before? I've got tons of fabric scraps that I just can't bare to throw away but have no real use for.
