Sailor Moon was one of the very first animes that I watched. Everyday after school, I'd rush home in time to catch the starting of the show and for half an hour, I'd stare at the television without blinking or making a single sound--too afraid to miss a single second. I longed to be like the female protagonist; fighting evil by moonlight and winning love by daylight. I have to admit it, I had completely fallen for the Sailor Moon Series in every way. Even now I can relate to the blond haired, blue eyed air headed teenager. She was terrible with her studies, a big crybaby, but a caring friend. (Which is exactly what the English Theme Song states.) And even now my excitement and interest in Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts still exists. In fact, my Cospay Dolls are all introduced to Sailor Moon as their first animes, so that generation after generation of Cosplayers will know who she is and keep all that she stands for alive.
So again, she is my first choice to cosplay as well as my Dolls.
Sailor Moon will be portrayed by Cosplay Doll, Rorrīpop 0104, and Sailor Mini Moon and Chibi Chibi will be portrayed by the sisters Makkenjī 2012 & Samansa 2012.
The production of our cosplay will be as authentic as possible. All items will be handmade or sculpted.
For example, wigs have been 'bought' and are b'eing styled' by me, all in preparation for Anime North 2012. Two sets of cosplay clothing are in preparation as well. 0104 will be wearing Usagi's School Uniform (shown to the right.) It will most likely be made with broadcloth or a cotton blend material. Her brooch will be hand sculpted using either modelling clay, fimo clay or harden clay...whatever and it will be glazed using sculpey glaze coating. Shoes (aside from the wigs) might be purchased instead of being replicated. She will not have a school bag.
Makkenjī 2012 & Samansa 2012 will portray Rini (Sailor Mini Moon) and Chibi Chibi. They are
roughly the right sizes to cosplay them accurately. The only problem with the cosplay are the uniforms they will be wearing. Rini has a sailor scout uniform; pink sailor collar and skirt (shown to the left) while Serena's uniform is royal or navy blue. However, she has multiple uniform changes as she gains more power. Though Serena and Rini have been shown in their first Sailor Fukus. However, by the time Chibi Chibi enters the scene, Sailor Moon has her eternal outfit and Rini isn't even IN that season simultaneously with Serena and Chibi Chibi. (Anime only.) As if I care. Cosplaying is serious business and minor details such as those do cause complications for professional cosplayers or anime lovers.
Anyways, for the first few hours of Anime North, Makkenjī 2012 will be wearing Rini's school uniform (to the left) before switching into her sailor fuku. Her brooch will undergo the same process and then glazed. Her socks will be handmade, (a simple pair of white socks with a red bow stitched on.) Shoes will be purchased and she may not have a school bag.
Lastly, Samansa 2012, will cosplay Chibi Chibi. She first appears in Act 44 of the manga and Episode 182 of the anime. She's about two years old and so is Samansa 2012. Chibi Chibi is too young to have a school uniform, however, she is always wearing an outfit similar to Usagi's and Chibiusa's school uniforms (as shown to the right.)
Samansa 2012 will wear a two piece outfit. A shirt and skirt, much like Serena's school uniform. It is a fairly easy cosplay to pull together.
After that they will 'transform' into the Sailor Scouts. Deciding which sailor fuku to have my Dolls wear (as mentioned above) was a challenge, but in the end, it has been decided (subject to change) that they would all wear their original sailor fukus. (Pictures opposite school fukus.)
I have five months to get these cosplays together. Measuring, buying material, clay, glaze and sewing will be hard work, but I don't doubt my sewing abilities and my determination to have my Dolls become successful professional cosplayers.
(School fukus and Sailor fukus for all three girls, that's a lot of work.)
Thank you so much for checking out Cosplay Dolls. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
