Original Green power Ranger Costume

[Vash1985]

Hi guys im fairly new to this but i wanna get a decent green power ranger costume. with everything. i wish to hopefully find one for under 300 if any of you can help me that would be awesome.

good luck finding one with "everything" under 300 bones. The suit alone can cost up to 300. If you do find one for that price i would for sure snag that up

He's right. Generally "decent" and "cheap" are two things that don't go together well. Somebody once said to get a screen-accurate PR suit, look to spend at least $1200, and for the Green Ranger, up to $2000.

For a costume on the cheap, you could get this zentai suit. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dark-Green-Power-Ranger-Costume-Lycra-Zentai-Catsuit_W0QQitemZ150295946873QQihZ005QQcategoryZ86 207QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) That'll cover your suit, gloves and belt. Then you could go ahead and get one of these helmets. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Cosplay-Latest-Ver-Power-Ranger-GREEN-1-1-Helmet_W0QQitemZ360089307445QQihZ023QQcategoryZ164 115QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem) You could top it off with a pair of cheap boots, and that'll keep you under $400. You could add cheap gloves and a toy Dragon Dagger, and end the suit at about $500. That's probably going to be the cheapest suit you'll put together on a regular basis, unless you find a pretty good sale somewhere.

Or, if you had the time/money and didn't feel like getting all the parts to make your own suit, you could try this. (http://www.herocosplay.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=3) Aniki/AAC Props/Hero Cosplay is a member here on the board. Couple words of advice, though. When I say "time," I mean it seems to take him a while to get them out, with some people waiting upwards of 8 months. Here's a review of his suit (http://www.rangerprops.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2579) if you feel like taking a look at it.

Or, if you *really* had the time/money, you could put one together from pieces currently available. I would contact Tech_Styles here for a suit. That'll run you about $200, but it's worth it. Then, I would pop into Sushiya's thread (http://www.rangerprops.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2673) and pick up a pair of boots. They're $110 plus shipping. While you're there, you could pick up some gloves and gauntlets which would run you about (I think) $145 after shipping. Or, Buzz's_Room on RangerBoard has runs of gloves and cuffs, and that'll run you about $200 for both. Buzz also has made the currently most accurate Dragon Dagger in a kit form, and I believe those'll run about $200, or you could pick up a toy one on eBay.

You'll also need a belt buckle. Here's one up on eBay, (http://cgi.ebay.com/Power-Rangers-Green-Ranger-costume-belt-buckle-PROP_W0QQitemZ250296552288QQihZ015QQcategoryZ749QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and that's about $30. I have one from Tech_Styles that's pretty good, and Outatime also makes a few ranging from the flat one-piece, to the black holster that you can put a toy morpher in.

We're hitting the home stretch. All we need now is a helmet and shield/armband. For the shield, you'll probably have to make your own, either using craft foam or fabric (http://cgi.ebay.com/Green-Power-Ranger-Costume-Pattern-TOMMY-4-14-NEW_W0QQitemZ330270312673QQihZ014QQcategoryZ116690 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). You could contact Aniki/AAC Props/Hero Cosplay and see if you could just buy the shield and armbands. Or you could pick up this one for $250 (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Mighty-Morphin-Green-Rangers-Gold-Dragon-Shield_W0QQitemZ320294635176QQihZ011QQcategoryZ749 QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp16 38Q2em118Q2el1247). As for the helmet, MightyMorphinPR (Jess) on RangerBoard has the best sculpt currently available. However, I don't know if she's still selling them or not.

I hope that this can get you on your way somehow.
