Hello friends. Sorry for my upcoming english.

I'm about to do my first cosplay. An event is gonna take place here (Brazil) and I want to do Spiderman, my favorite hero. I think it's gonna be a good start for a cosplay.

I lurked on the interwebz and found two stores that makes the Spider Suits.

First is RPC Studio:

https://www.therpc.studio/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_64_92

Second is Zentai Zone:

http://www.zentaizone.com/

In RPC Studio, most suits are 270 USD. BUT with the aditional items (faceshell + lenses + zipers + symbol) it goes up to +400 USD.

in Zentai, most suits are 65 USD, but it has additionals. I did a little calculation, only making a budget, and in Zentai, a full costume is more or less the same thing. But I didn't enjoyed too much their products. It looks too much cloth-like, and the model is kinda.... fat.

In any case...

- Should I get RPC or Zentai? I want to spend a maximum of 500 USD.

- Magnetic lenses or not? Can someone explain the difference?

Thanks in advance!

This could have been in the help thread.
But also, RPC suits are very well made. Zentai suits are cheaply made and they don't fit as well. It's a question of quality.

As for magnetic lenses, they only work if you also have a faceshell with the opposite magnets on it. They do look much better than ones that are sewn into, or permanently attached to the suit

RPC and zentai run a monopoly on sub dye suits, browse through Instagram and find a smaller company or independent artist that makes them, cheaper suits that look just as good, not identical to every other spidey at a con.
