So as Ami already knows
Im trying to make a Rappy suit for Anime Expo 2011
I'm planning on using chicken wire for the head and a light foam for the body
Do anyone else have any tips to add?
I know I'm gunna be hugged since Rappys are cute and everyone loves hug cute things xD

I wish some of you lived near me to help me xP

Very good question. I think the fact that it's a bird-like creature which would throw off my ideas. Never did materials for that type. Still, should be a fun project. They seem like easy to make mascot material, so I could say there's a lot of potential to make a nigh perfect suit. If not, at least as accurate as that rappy scientist did from PSO.

It needs to squeak every time you make a step.

Sure it wont sound like you saying "Ow?" every time you step instead of the squeak?

Here is an idea: Just the first part with the yellow suit.

Too bad the bird method didn't work. It would be funny seeing people dressed up in a Rappy suit in an attempt to fool a motion sensor.

Hey now. Don't underestimate the power of the chirp.

I know. It's right along the lines of Snake and his Cardboard box trick. Makes it seem even sadder when something like that actually works. Now I can see that bed sheets and cardboard boxes might actually become usable gear. (Then again, that's the thing about high-tech science. You create something that catches some of the most intelligent methods of circumvention, only to fall to the silliest almost block-headed conventions). It's like one of those puzzles in which the most common fallacy is to over-think it.
