Potential New Costumes For The Future

Post by TheCostumer » Fri Jan 29, 2010 4:09 pm

I am considering two new costumes for the future.

The first is the evil Fu Man Chu portrayed on the screen by Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee.

The Second is the warlock Andre Lenoge from the TV Miniseries The Storm Of The Century.

Do you think these are good ideas?

I tried to watch the King miniseries but couldn't get into it.

Fu Man Chu on the other hand is a classic. You could also alter it later to be Ming The Merciless.

As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

That a very interesting idea, Fu Man Chu does seem to be a very good option and this is something that would in-fact help you look quite different as well as elegantly fascinating too. You have indeed raced your mind well. Some innovations will make the figure look even better.

I agree with your assessment.

Fu Man Chu is one of my favorite horror characters portrayed in the movies by Boris karloff and Chrsitopher Lee.

Thanks for the advice.
