Oh man I love it when people start to get into cosplay. At first it's so weird...I remember I was like "eeeeh I dunno about this." But once you slap that costume on it's totally awesome. And it's even better when you get around other people dressed as characters from the same series....whoo, good times

Cheers for the advice Shannon! I'd probably dye and spike it up; I would actually prefer that to a wig! Goggles would be pretty easy to find, but what about his metal stick? Any ideas?
Problem is, I would be a Reno who wears glasses, as I don't like contacts.
Well, while Marie and I were brain-storming over his Super Shocker Stick O' Doom, we found that different sizes of PVC pipe would work great. You can paint it with enamels (the stuff people use on plastic car and airplane models) and spray it down with a sealer, and you won't have to worry about it chipping and peeling. (Acrylics will come off if you breathe on it wrong...enamels are made to cling to plastics).
As for the glasses...wouldn't be a big deal! If someone asks to take your picture, you could just whip them off real quick, then slap them back on afterwards. Most people won't care.
Actually, the one my dad made, he just spray painted it. They do make spray paint for plastics and you don't have to prime it or anything. That might be a lot easier than the enamel route.
Most people don't mind if you wear glasses and take them off. I'm too stubborn to wear mine, so I made myself get contacts. I hate them, but I wear them anyway! lol They take awhile to get used to.
