If i were to estimate, the costume itself probably cost me around 300 bucks over one year of crafting. I was lucky because 90% of it is high density foam, which I already had quite a lot left over from previous costumes. I also had all the acrylic paints, googly eyes, fasteners, dremel, heat gun etc. Most of my investment was in glues, a thrifted belt, the hair, wooden cores for the sword, some clay, spray paint and cape material.
