...that has to be the laziest approach to a tie I've ever seen......and I'm mostly pissed because no one here thought of it first. D:

Also, plush headphones somehow seems like cheating. Other than that, looks like a phenomenal Miku costume.

Someone missed an opportunity to cash in on Halloween sales.

one would need some pretty long legs to pull that off.

This is official? Somehow I think it looks very cheap and not worth of the price. I think I have seen better costumes made by cosplayers.
The hairclips and the headphones are the most awful ones, I think

When cosplayers can make costumes like...http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/26704/Black+Rock+Shooter+Beast+Cosplay.html ...it's not really fair to compare official ones to homemade ones. The hairclips and headphones on this are horrible(unless you're going to take them trick or treating in the cold Anime hyper)

I think we can safely say that the worlds most awesome Black Rock Shooter Beast cosplay is by this lovely lady - Vensy from the US who currently studies at the Otis College of Art and Design. The costume took 8 months to make and cost between 2000 - 3000 USD.


Shenanigans!! I call Shenanigans!!

I'm guessing most of that was sunk into the lights and wiring. The cynic in me also thinks overhead was included in that, but I would be surprised if it wasn't over $1,000

Wig sold seperately. Wink
I remember seeing something like this on sale back in 2010 on Amazon. Clip on ties are for planks. Laughing
