Spent roughly $300 on materials. Kapelski estimates about 56 hours of labor went into building the cosplay, miku cosplay and about $60 went into acquiring the materials like foam to mold the wings and claws. Reed said it took about one week of non-stop labor to put together the costumes. We’ve left off store bought costumes like Mario or Pikachu and professionally built costumes like the awesome Robot Suit built by the Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects and limited our picks to costumes that were either unique, funny, miku costume interesting or very well done.
