Poll: Cosplay Ideas - Please Vote!

[Captain Impulse]

Alright...I've narrowed down some choices of characters I think I might actually be able to pull off. I'm leaving it to the members of AoD to help me decide which I should go for. Please help me decide!

The candidates are:

1) Sousuke Sagara - Full Metal Panic (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Sagara.jpg)

2) Eikichi Onizuka - G.T.O. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Onizuka.jpg)

3) Shutaro Mendou - Urusei Yatsura (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Mendou.jpg)

4) Ryo Takatsugi - Project Arms (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Takatsugi.jpg)
(Note: I would SOMEHOW try and make the claw-arm for this costume)

5) Ranma Saotome - Ranma 1/2 (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Ranma.gif)

6) Lupin the 3rd - Lupin the 3rd (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/Bandit_DM/Cosplay/Lupin.jpg)

...and here's my ugly mug, for reference. (http://myspace-773.vo.llnwd.net/00063/37/72/63862773_m.jpg) Know that my hair grows pretty fast, so pretty much all of these are doable (although I'd need an extension for Ranma).

Thanks in advance!

Onizuka. You've got the short hair already and, well, Onizuka kicks ass.

[Captain Impulse]

I'm thinking if I manage to pull one of them off fairly easily (Onizuka, for example, I might be able to do TWO; one for the first day or two, then switch to the other later on.

Maybe like a Onizuka/Mendou combo, or something. Then I could carry a sword around, too. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

By the way, if anyone has a white Japanse school uniform (for a guy, of course) for sale or knows how to acquire one, please let me know. Thanks.

Rats. I meant to vote for Lupin, but voted "Ranma" instead. Seriously, go with that one.

[Mr. Nail Bat]

I'm thinking Lupin.

[Jimmie M]

I voted Lupin-You favor him in looks a little more than the others IMO.

I voted for one at random because it wouldn't let me see the results without voting. :>

Cool...thanks for the opinions, guys. I'm actually thinking of trying to go as more than one now. I think Lupin would probably be a good one. I was thinking of ALSO going as Shutaro Mendou, because I love the character and Urusei Yatsura in general.

Time for another opinion question: I'd need a school uniform for Mendou. I've found two on Ebay that would fit. One is an almost perfect match. The other is...close. The one that is close is a lot cheaper, though.

What do you think? Do you think this one is close enough?:
Not Quite... (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6028829444&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT)

Or should I go with this one?:
Almost Perfect. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6029333964&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT)

The difference in price is about $100. Pay more for authenticity, or try to pull it off with the cheaper one?

Thanks again in advance!

If you have any sewing ability, you might be able to just get a white shirt from a thrift store and then alter the collar.
