World Spidey Suits & Suit Creation methods.

Ok guys... what do you think?
1, 2 or 3?

I would go for number 1 imo

 

[peter_parker]

really...no one..? I am looking for any help finding a spidey costume where the mask, gloves boots top and leggings are seperate but hook together..nothing?

I bought a comic book style suit back in 2002... 7 pieces. The top was the kind you step into (after putting on the pants), and it zipped up the middle of the back.

The boots and gloves attached by a small hook system. The mask was simply tucked in at the neck (the neck was high like a turtle neck).

Hard to get the webs to "line up" when putting on the gloves, but was a cool costume. I still have it, but it was worn a lot.

They really didn't spend much time on this did they?

 

[peter_parker]

Those photos make it look really bad... maybe they are going to CGI the costume???

I was thinking of something along those lines...was that commercially made or custom? I thought I saw a pic on the boards of someone with a 7 piece....

LOL...and I was anxious to ask you that question Brad. But now that you mentioned it and brought it up to my attention I guess its ok to ask.

Are you looking to make suits in pieces in the near future instead of a one or two piece suit I would love to see how your suits turn out as a 7 piece suit using Stur-ups and Clip-ons where the gloves come off the mask the boots, pants..etc im sure you get the point.. Although, I also do see your point in keeping the movie suit design as a one piece very simple..but then again when a 5 or 7 piece design movie suit comes along?? t: Maybe in the future you could show us something like this in either Urethane or Printed that would really be something to look foward to seeing with your designs.t:

what about something like this? any ideas guys?

So far I think I'm the closest to having a Screen Accurate suit :lol


Because...
I HAVE found the shoe guys... I just wanted to make sure everybody knew it was me :lol
Praise me!

Anywho, I give you, Spiderman's new shoes:

The ıASICS- GEL Dirt Dog 3: A light weight cross-country track & field shoe.
The Red/Black/Silver scheme is what you're looking for, I got mine from Amazon... and they're not too expensive!
http://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Mens-GEL-Dirt-Track-Field/dp/B0028N7BMC

Regarding preparing the shoe for attaching the upper, it appears like it would be pretty easy. The cleats on the bottom are removable, and even though the spike holes are still there, it is rather easy to walk in. (They are VERY comfortable btw) I imagine that to get to screen accuracy all I'd really have to do is sand down the existing sole, and then put down a smooth layer of leather. The graphics on the side come off nicely

*Note*-I used a seam ripper... I would NOT recommend using anything else! The thread used in this shoe is very durable, and using anything else might be hazardous if not for lack of control of a different kind of tool)

I am uncertain as to whether the tongue was removed or not... I'll need to inspect some closer pictures of the spidey boots to determine that.

Here are pictures of my shoes... one of them I have already begun modifying.

.... And just to leave any doubt to rest:

Great find :

[joker1]

i posted a while back asking if anyone had a spandex mask patern, as in just the mask, but no luck so far :/ hopefully one will turn up, man

 

[Germanspider]

Did i mentioned, that i still don't like the new suit?

After i've seen the shoes, it doesn't get better...

i just found a new printer that i love that is fast and has great quality inks and fabric and will work with me on the phone or via email for faster response time so i just wnated to show shots of teh sample piece he sent me

pleas note that the photos were taken both with my cell for close up shots and my new digital camera for other shots thats why they look different i am still trying to figure the new camera out lol also the fabric was just a straight print from my new file with no color matching yet so the colors will be be matched to the film and also to the promo postors

 

[spida-man]

every time i see this thread i'm like "Damn i wish i had a Spider-Man suit"

last time I had a spidey suit was when i was like 11 and it was a crappy halloween suit based off the first movie.
I desperately want a high quality (but somehow inexpensive) Spider-Man suit. you guys just have no idea -_-

 

[JESTER FX]

that all depends on what you consider low cost and what you want the costume to look like email me at [email protected] ore on facebook at facebook.com/jesterfx and i can try an dhelp you out

...actually we do.
That's how many of us came into making our own Spiderman suits.

(That's the part that requires the investment of time, the mental dedication to research materials, develop skills, and perfect technique).

 

[Germanspider]

every time i see this thread i'm like "Damn i wish i had a Spider-Man suit"

That's the reason, why this thread started years ago...

I desperately want a high quality (but somehow inexpensive) Spider-Man suit. you guys just have no idea -_-

That's the other reason.
We've seen suits in this thread over one or two thousand bucks... and we've seen suits under 500...
It depends on how much time and work you are willing to invest.
My goal is always to make a suit under 500,-
And so i always have to find a compromise between the costs and the quality...

 

[spida-man]

I want a costume that isn't over $150 but still looks high quality if possible.
something like the universal studios suit:
http://www.halloweencostumeshop.com/asp/iteminfo.asp?K=spiderman&I=DG5907G&R=5907

btw is it possible to even buy that particular sui?t(despite that site listing it idk if the site is totally legit)

or soemthing liek the ultimate spider-man suit but of lsightly higher quality:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ETA72G/ref=s9_simh_gw_p193_d0_i5?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1V4ZFGN10CP7KDET0DM5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

the geek in me would love to have multiple costumes bassed on multiple versions of diffrent spidey suits. however in terms of the classic red and blue suit I would LOVE to have one in the style of The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series:

http://www.costumes4less.com/Child-Spectacular-Spiderman-Costume_Z32935_Prod.aspx?zmam=86302495&zmas=2&zmac=2&zmap=Z32935

In terms of something bassed off a alternate suit, my dream costume would be spider-Man Unlimited..

 

[spida-man]

Edit.

 

[JESTER FX]

by a zentai suit and modify it its cheap and easy and a great starting point

 

[Spiderman0884]

Dont get too excited this is a fan made poster..LOL

Not to burst anyones bubbles... but the ONLY way you are going to get a spiderman suit that looks *that* good... for under $150, is to make every single part yourself. ...Or buy one of those licensed suits (which, are designed to be worn by someone who is 6'0 and heavily muscled, or muscle-suit-padded.)

In any other case I can think of, most other suits are not under going to run under $300 dollars.

Zentai suits are about the cheapest thing you can get, but they *can* be modified to some decency.
Sometimes used suits pop up on Ebay here and there as well...

Like I said, the only way I know how to do it for under $150 is to buy all the materials yourself and make it... but there is a lot of risk involved with trial and error if you have never undertaken something like that before.

Perhaps you could buy all the materials and have a friend or relative help you sew it? Or teach you how to sew?
I would also recommend heading over to the Cosplay.com forums and start doing some research there.


As a means of inspiration however, I made this suit in 2005 (when I was 17) over an 8 month time period. I researched materials & techniques, and taught myself how to sew on my mom's old sewing machine. I used Brad (Spidey4fun), SpiderTim, German Spidey, and SpiderHam's old tutorials to make this suit from scratch. I believe that the TKComics pattern had *just* started circulating around that time...

This was my very first time sewing, my very first time making a costume.. and I'm still pretty darn proud of how it turned out...
Where there's a will, there's a way

Full ack... the best way to get an inexpensive good suit is to make it by yourself...

@Orlando: You've been 17? I always thought you're much older
