SHORT ROUND costume? Help

[indakin]

Well for NYCC 08 my 2 friends and i are dressing from teh whol trilogy. Ill be raiders indy, my obiwan is going to be Jones SR, and my friend is going to be shortround ( although a mid 20s version) but we thought it would be funny. The cons in April a month before the movie so it will be perfect.

Well i havent been on in a while and dont know if this has been brought up, but whats the costume for shortround and where can i find pieces IF there even is a place to get stuff. Let me know guys, get digging! I know thats what you archaeologists do!

I know Canyon found a Short Round baseball cap a while back but I don't know where she got it.....

As far as the rest of the outfit goes I haven't got a clue. I don't believe I've seen to many people "cosplay" Shorty. In fact I'd have to go look at the movie again to really remember what he was actually wearing. All I remember is the hat!

"No time for love, Dr. Jones!" and lines like that! ;D

i found this hat which is darn close. But i honeslty think hes wearing a NY giants hat, which i cant find, so my firned might have to settle for this.

It was definitely a Giants cap...but most folks wouldn't know the difference anyway, so I think you can get away with a *shudder* yankees cap...ugh

"Yankees...I hate these guys!"

Seriously though, a shortround gear thread might be a kind of cool idea, the only problem is, aside from the baseball cap, I could never figure out what the hell Shorty is wearing. ;D









He sure had some funky buttons on those shirts... ;D

I think that looks pretty good. I wonder if Ebay would have some vintage baseball caps on sale?

My oldest son dressed up as Indy for Halloween and I wanted to dress his brother up like Short Round but it was already to close to Halloween so I didn't have time to gather up everything.

Maybe I'll put an outfit together for him anyway.

yea thanks for those pics man! As for his clothing, thats definitely eastern style with the way it buttons and all. Ill try to get a close enough for my friend becaue its just a day costume.

I found this guide to be pretty helpful when putting together a Short Round costume: www.gogocosplay.com/short-round-costume/
