I wish I had my own Asuka.

Dat Mari one. Yespls

You could comission a professional latex designer to make a plugsuit that looks better than this for a tenth of that money.

>>6407646
For real? I may just do that if you can suggest any, I want to do this version of Asuka for the next MCM.

>>6407660

Yeah, even the high end shit you get from fetish stores rarely exceeds $500.

>>6407646
>implying flat latex plugsuits look better than layered/foam-enhanced vinyl and spandex.

The thing I really like about these plugsuits are the feet/shoes. Most of the made plugsuit feet look fucking derp. But these ones look shoe-like and it really works.

>>6407646
if you can recommend one I would do it, I just don't know where to get it done

>>6407660

Try kink engineering, they are usually open for ideas.

the problem with latex is that it tends to squish the breasts and ass

of course the main problem is that an 100% accurate plugsuit is impossible because in the show it behaves really strangely (the inflating to fit for example)

>>6412006
>(the inflating to fit for example)

Actually in the show it vacuums the air out of the suit via a button on the wrist cuff to make it skintight... which seems like it would be possible in the real world with the newer test type plug suit, you could hide suction hoses under the yellow lines and green button things.

Also, many people tend to treat it as either spandex base with armor on top or a flat suit, when it's not. It's a rubbery material that stretches to form fit with some built in texture elements like the wrist cuffs, the body sensors, life support battery pack(?) on the backs, etc.

>>6412006
>the problem with latex is that it tends to squish the breasts and ass

Not if you cast the breast piece along with the armor.

>>6412006
>inflating to fit for example

Reminds me of asukas suit in magma diver

>>6412023
Hmm, you COULD actually do that, you'd need airtight seals on the seams and on the neck and such. And frankly, if you're going though that much effort, just acknowledge that you're trying to scatchbuild a wetsuit and enjoy materials that are an absolute bitch to work with.

>>6412743
Well, sealed would be a drysuit, but you know what I meant.

There's an ebay seller that looks like they make decent latex plugsuits. They're all one piece though, and no attatched shoes. Aqualatex is the seller name

>>6412743
>>6412746

I always thought plugsuits were actually designed to be like wetsuits anyway, so.

>>6412756
I'd buy one if it was like ushijima quality, and under $1000.

>>6412770

The girl in this pic >>6406320 has one. As stated, the colors and textures look great, the inaccurate design not so much.

>>6412756

I'm actually debating ordering a couple of these to see how the quality is, and how easily they can be modified. With some basic modifications from the seller, and some basic modification (gluing the "3D" parts on), you should be able to have a pretty kick-ass plug-suit for not a heavy price-tag.

>>6412812
I've seen your posts regarding this on your fb. Have you emailed the seller yet? they claim to be able to make a latex suit to your specs, I just haven't had the time to take measurements yet to try them out yet.

>>6412812
Let us know how that goes! Would love kickass latex plugsuit for affordable price.

I'd love to see one of the real pro female cosplayers try to tackle a Eva plugsuit with a real costume budget. I'm talking about cast/vaccum formed armor integrated into a stretch vinyl/latex plugsuit.

I know there are a few cosplayers that have really come close (Eva twins, etc.) I just think there is still a little room for improvement.

>>6412841
>tfw have skills for this but am 10+ years too old and even with ana/mia could never be thin enough

>>6412818

Yeah, I've contacted them and they're willing to do whatever modifications for the same price they're advertising. I just need to drag the art into Photoshop cause from past experiences, they'll do EXACTLY when you send them (which can be good or bad). Plus the 400 price is do-able, but Christmas is coming and shit so...hopefully I can get the order in here soon. I'll try to post it around whenever I do get them in.

Also, if anyone does have a source on where Ushijima gets hers, I'd love to know...

>>6412841
There are several cosplayers who could make an Eva plugsuit. However I can only think of a few that could make and pull it off.

Rufflebutt, Riddle, Precious, and Zal

There are probably a lot more than that but it's late.

Doesn't Precious have some sort of a gig where she is getting paid to make costumes of her choosing? She should make one considering the amount of casting she does.

>>6412859
you and everyone else.

>>6412852
Find someone in your area willing to be your model.

>>6412876
Fuck if I could find someone who suits any of the girls who could pay me even material cost, and I annoy a charity.

>>6412897
Am not, not annoy. Spellcheck woes.

>>6412006
Looks like they thought of that

For those interested, here's a shop that sells plugsuit themed latex catsuits. You'd have to make the 3d elements yourself, but it's a great starting point, and you can get it made to fit your exact measurements.

i like how everyone is saying you can make something that looks better for cheaper but op is still the best looking thing in this whole thread

u guys...

$6000? Try almost $7000. The dollar took a dive against the yen recently.
They really are lovely suits though.

>>6415828
why did I go back and add a suit pic when I meant to post the currency pic derp derp

I would love the hell out of a Kaworu one of this caliber. But as good as they look, I'd say they're more like $700-1000 worth, not $7000

>>6419709
I just hate the laziness of doing the raised hip rolls, but not doing any texture/detailing of the knee joints... they aren't just 'drawn' on the suits.

>>6419717
or the hip/crotch area either.

>>6419709
Could you even move your shoulders wearing that?

>>6419938
I know the thing Vampy bought as the shoulder/chest piece for her Rei had no shoulder movement that I could see, not sure if this is similar however.

$7000 just simply isn't reasonable.
The construction looks nice.
The design looks nice.
But a latex suit with a few inserts and textures just isn't worth it.

But I suppose the person who has $7000 to blow on something like that in the first place probably wouldn't care.

The only thing that sets this apart from the Aqualatex one I'm getting is the armour. If only they sold that separately...

I sincerely think PVC would look better if made right and fit right. This one is around 950$ and with little modifications would look great.

Why don't you make it yourself?

The cospa suits aren't latex.

Only eva suit I'd want would be built by lulubird.

Are there any places that sell decent plugsuits that aren't budget breaking?

For six thou, that looks like a pile of S-word.

6 thousand for that? I can't go for that, no can do!

>$6000

>>6420627
I think somebody mentioned before, Aqualatex on eBay do good latex plugsuits for about £105, but you'd need to modify them for them to be anything better than just 'decent'.

>>6420661
I don't think any of us are in the market for plugsuits of that price. The price is just too damn high!
