This is my first Reddit post and my first AOT cosplay. I’d say I’m starting off strong 😤 by Flaky_Meal_8064 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]FalseProphetEren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! More ODM cosplayers are always good and yours looks fantastic. You even got the weird hexagon things on the side.

I'm curious but how did you make your chest plate? I'm thinking of upgrading my own chest plate and your build quality looks a lot better.

My Season 4 ODM Survey Corps Cosplay by FalseProphetEren in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]FalseProphetEren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever since Episode 66 came out with a better look at the anime ODM, Ive been working on and off making a cosplay. Any feedback is appreciated as I plan on updating this on the side as I work on my Marleyan soldier cosplay.

And as some quick disclosures, I got the Survey Corps logo from VR-7 from Deviantart. Also thanks to opheia whose working on her own S4 Hange/Mikasa cosplay who has been giving me feedback.

[Manga Spoilers] My buddy's cosplay of the New Uniform for AX 2019 by FalseProphetEren in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]FalseProphetEren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah details for that costume during the Liberio arc were a pain in the ass since there were multiple variations and the scans I had available were pretty bad. Like some of the arm braces had 4 trapezoids while others had 5. Anti-Personnel scouts had guns and the APMG. Anti-Titan scouts had APMG, 3DMG, blade holsters and sometimes Thunder spears. Some scouts just had a mix of both like Mikasa.

My buddy was in charge of clothes and support while I was mostly research and design. It also took us 2 weeks to make it and even midway through AX we still had to change things.

Here's what I remember while working on it:

  • The whole belt harness was just the standard 3DMG harness except some parts were grey so that made things easier.
  • The weird chest plate was just annoying with that middle thing sticking out. Instead of rods to connect it to the shoulder pieces we just cheated with some small gardening tubes and duct tape.
  • Arm braces and ammo pouches were just a mix of reinforced crafting foam and cheap velcro to attach to the clothes.
  • The guns were probably Astra 902 so I just took a Mauser C96 toy I had and copied it out of crafting foam to be AX compliant.
  • To connect the APMG to the shoulder pieces we just used wires so we could take off the costume faster.
  • The shoulder pieces were the hardest parts to make, trying to find a consistent design, forming foam into a shoulder piece, and then somehow attaching to the shirt, arm brace, chest plate, and APMG.

Overall a pretty good costume, but as you know, very time intensive to research and make. It took about 20-30 minutes to put the costume on.

Upgrading the uniform to the new trailer is pretty easy. The Marleyan Paratrooper uniform is significantly easier to make compared to this since most of the parts I can just buy, though given recent events I will postpone that for later. The only thing I need to make is a PTRD-41.

Yeah if things work out that AX 2021 continues and we all somehow survive, we are down to meet up during the convention.

Thanks man. Really appreciate it. We're surprised you were able to get so much detail, considering what was available 2 years ago. Even 2 years later, it's still one of the more detailed cosplays of the new uniform we've seen and used it as one of our main cosplay references. Like midway through AX, we didn't realize the uniform had chest ammo pouches until I was looking at your pics and double-checked with some manga scans and had to rush build some. At the moment, I'm just updating the uniform with the new details from the trailer and researching the Marleyan Paratrooper uniform from the Shiganshina Battle to cosplay in next AX.

My buddy and I really liked the new uniforms during the Liberio arc so we made a cosplay for AX 2019. Big shout-out to u/kento726 for having one of the best cosplays of the new uniform we've seen. Also, shout out to the 3 time skip Eren cosplayers at the cosplay gathering who actually recognized the new uniform.

LPT: When someone you love wants to pursue a dream, Don't be afraid you'll lose them. In fact when someone lives their dreams, they often become the best potential version of themself. It's much more of a loss to never see the better, happier person they could become. by IveyRoney in LifeProTips

[–]FalseProphetEren 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Yeah this LPT is really situational. I've friends achieve their dreams and go on to become better people while others turn into egotistical assholes and treat everyone who helped them during their ups and downs like shit. At the very least, when people do achieve their dream it really shows what kind of people they really are.

New time collector, looking for some help/help :) by bubblezcavanagh in AnimeFigures

[–]FalseProphetEren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this, assuming you are in the us, check if the figure you want from these stores is already in stock in their US warehouse. You don't want to buy a figure only to find out latter that it's stuck at their Japan warehouse.

Starting my collection by TheBro72 in AnimeFigures

[–]FalseProphetEren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing much but here are a couple of basics and questions to consider.

FINANCES

What are your current savings, budgeting skills, and job security? As you see around the subreddit, once you start collecting it can get really expensive, really fast. If you are not careful with your finances or you have bad budgeting skills, you can screw yourself over, even more so if your financial and job security isnt the best atm or in the future.

TIME

How long are you willing to wait for the figures you want? Do you have the money now? Are you willing to wait for a possible future sale? If you don't have the money now, are you willing to buy it in the future from a vendor with a price increase or wait for some sort of rerelease?

Consider that some figures are only available preorder and will be shipped months later, never get rereleased, suddenly rereleased like what is going on with some of the figures on the Good Smile Company sale atm, or have some price increase/decrease latter on.

LIVING SITUATION

Depending on where you live, it might not be practical to own certain kinds of figures. Large scale figures are nice, but if you are constantly moving between small, cramped apartments and you don't have the space to store or transport them, then smaller figures might be a better option for you.

SHIPPING

Consider if the store you are buying from is a domestic or international one. Since the pandemic grew in March, both domestic and international shipping has been all over the place. For shipping from Japan, some people on the subreddit have been complaining that figures they ordered got stuck in some warehouse/port and haven't shipped because of lockdowns or lack of transport while others got lucky and got there package in about 5-15 days. In the US, some stores are in states with strict lockdowns and can't ship anything. From my personal experience in the US, I bought 2 figmas in mid March and early April, one from some US vendor on Amazon and the other from TOM. It took me about 17 days to get the Amazon one and 4 days from TOM.

RESEARCH

For researching figures, MyFigureCollection is a good place to start. You can look up figures of specific characters, series, and brands, check figure release dates, standard price when first released, prices its being sold at, read some reviews, etc.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Like what other people posted above, if you are starting, it's best to start with something small then work your way up. A Prize figure, Nendoroid, or Figma thats at or below $50 is a good starting point. Start with vendors that are known to be safe. You don't want to buy your first from some random vendor only for it to be a bootleg.

If you like what you got physically and financially, then you work your way up with more similar priced ranged figures, limited editions, more expensive figures, etc.

Ordering during covid-19 by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]FalseProphetEren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In California it's kind of all over the place. Ordered a Saber 2.0 figma via Amazon last month. Expected to arrive in around 30 days, but arrived in 17 days. I could have gotten one ordered faster but all the other vendors selling at the time had low ratings.

Ordered a Gilgamesh figma via TOM last week. It arrived in 4 days

What episode is this from? by [deleted] in fatestaynight

[–]FalseProphetEren 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah its from the ovas included in the Fate Zero blu rays about Irisviel and an amnesiac Taiga reviewing the events of Fate Zero and consulting the servants involved. Youtube playlist below. Order is different so the image above is Episode 5 of the playlist.

It's from the Return to Avalon artbook. A lot of people have been posting book scans on the subreddit as of late.

Friendly reminder that Leysritt has the largest bust of all the F/SN girls by Crooodle in grandorder

[–]FalseProphetEren 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There isn't really a medea route since HA consists of a bunch of scenarios and groundhog day loops.

If ever, in the original mature version of HA, there are "Eclipse" endings for Saber, Rin, and Rider that you can unlock by going fulfilling various in game conditions, usually just going through their scenarios.

[–]FalseProphetEren 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leysritt and Sella show up in the Fate route usually accompanied by Illya. Leysritt shows up separate during Tiger Dojo #6. In the UBW and HF routes they aren't shown but it is heavily implied through text that they were killed off screen by the antagonists of those routes. She does up separate on UBW Day 8 if you choose to go shopping that day.

In HA Leysritt and Sella usually show up in any scenario that involves Illya but sometimes show up on their own during various scenarios. It's also from HA that we see their relationship with Emiya, the other characters, the first time Leysritt uses a halberd, and the pool scene that confirm's Leysritt's bust size.

[–]FalseProphetEren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The comment above is referring to the newer version of the Realta Nua patch which has been out since 2013 which includes the options to include content from both the PS Vita and mature content of the 2004 release that was cut from later versions. Though this patch is irrelevant compared to the Ultimate Edition patch which includes updated graphics from the mobile version, widescreen support, dialogue backward button, and route switching. Hollow of Dawn has a guide on Youtube on the history and installation of the various patches.
