Power Rangers Helmet And Costume Design

Why did Mighty Morphin Power Rangers become a popular TV show when it was first released?

It's catchy theme music : which consisted of a hard pop rock and roll tune with guitar solos and it's repetitive chorus of GO GO POWER RANGERS at the beginning of every single episode.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Theme TuneThe cool costumes, the flashy spandex costumes with the white diamonds across the chest and on the gloves and boots, along with the different helmets which resemble ancient dinosaurs like the T-Rex (Red Ranger) Saber Tooth Tiger (Yellow Ranger) Triceratops (Blue Ranger) Mastadon (Black Ranger) and the Pterodactyl (Pink Ranger) and later the Dragonzord (Green) and the Tigerzord (White Ranger) in addition to the awesome fight sequences with its emphasis on the martial arts and giant robots and big monsters.The show was so popular, it had its own brand of toys, t-shirts, video games and a movie less than two years laterAnd the show is still currently running to this day, it's been on the air for 25 years now.

How can I make a costume for the Red Power Ranger?

You either buy it from the store or order it online but I don't know which Red Power Ranger you're talking about because there's more than one character now (it changed numerous times after Mighty Morphin Power Rangers if that's the one you're referring to). That's not the only one that exists now, you have plenty of Rangers to choose from.But it's the same process for every one, get a costume from the store or buy one yourself and paint the design of whatever the Power Ranger is on it or get yourself a needle and thread and sow it on to the suit, or super glue it. Then you get white (or red gloves) a white belt, boots and a helmet to put over your head.

How would I make Lelouch/Zero's helmet? Cosplay question?

There are Lelouch helmets available on ebay for sale, but they are VERY expensive (over $200)! They do look amazing though:

I tend to agree with you. It's too easy and really non-creative to purchase pre-made costumes. However, there are always exceptions. For example, I needed a helmet for a costume a few years ago, but I could not figure out a way to make it look perfect with the skills and materials available to me. Papier mache can end looking too wrinkled or lumpy, styrofoam is hard to work with and expensive, cardboard is too weak, and I couldn't think of any other options. I decided to purchase a used motorcycle helmet and alter it for my cosplay needs. I had to completely strip everything from the inside and outside of the helmet, repaint it , reline the inside, and add handmade accessories to the outside. It was actually not that easy and took quite a bit of work, but it turned out great.

So I suggest you look into purchasing a used motorcycle or other sports helmet as well. Believe me, it requires a lot more skill and creativity to re-design the shell of a helmet into a cosplay piece than you may think. Check this out:

You can grab this helmet for less than $10 (if you're the lucky bidder who wins). Compared to the actual Lelouch cosplay helmets, that's practically free! You can easily strip off all the snaps, the visor, the trim around the edge, and the lining on the inside so that only the shell is left. Important note: Be sure you get the correct size helmet, and remember if you take out the thick lining, the helmet will be much larger on the inside. So if you would normally wear a medium size helmet, you should actually look for a small. With everything removed from the helmet, the shell is now ready for alteration. As for the face shield, this would work very well:

As you can see, this bubble shield has a similar appearance to the "real" cosplay version.

Anyway, you get the idea. Hope this helps. Happy cosplaying!

Which spacesuit design do you prefer, Elon Musk's or Boeing's Blue?

Not to toot my own horn here, but SpaceX’s spacesuit is still in concept art phase.If you really look at how you move around in a spacesuit, you will see that Musk's concept will not work in its current state. Space suits pressurize, which means that moving or changing the shape of the suit becomes more difficult. There are no wrist joints and not enough space inside the knee joints or helmet on Musk's, so you cannot rotate your writs, bend your knees, or move your head when pressurized. If you look on Boeing’s suit, there are large wrist joints that allow the wrists to rotate while pressurized.Look at any suit that has gone to space and you can find wrist joints. Knees and elbows are stronger, so you can get away with just a bulge or pocket for the joint to expand into while bending. There is no such bulges Musk’s suit. Head movement is tricky because physically moving the helmet under pressure would quickly result in fatigue. You can try building a joint at the neck, but it would still only allow left-right movement. The solution is the “fishbowl” helmet that allows visibility regardless of head orientation.To be fair, Boeing’s concept art for their suit was slim and had no joints either. As of right now there is no comparison, one is a working space suit, and one is not finished.

Costume party: What's a cool looking costume that also allow me to hide my face?

The words that popped out to me were cool, club, simple and of course: face.  I don't think it need to be a full outfit.  I love this question because it allows me to share one of my favorite costume accessories EVER!  This is something that you can wear with anything.  It is undefined.  You will be anonymous but definitely attention-gabbing.  Maybe you can wear it with a fedora and a trenchcoat to make you look like a mysterious low-key Superhero.  Just imagine all the flashing lights at the club bouncing off you while wearing this no face chrome mirror mask.  It couldn't be more adequate:I guess Rorschach (from The Watchmen) is not too bad either.  He is pretty much that character in the fedora.  Still, I would stick to the no face chrome mirror mask.  There are many other interesting masks you can consider, but the chrome mirror is my favorite, by far.  Oh, and it is very affordable as well--and so is Rorschach.

How do the the Super Sentai/Power Rangers suits work? Are they physical, digital, E.T. tech or magic?

Each season of Power Rangers except RPM take place in the same universe. So they have the same Morphin Grid (RPM has their own).How the suits work is like this. I'll try to keep it general.Back years ago and the were Then, in present day, the powers and morphers and zords and everything.Then the Rangers were summoned, typically by forced teleportation or the ‘choosing’ them and causing them to morph.Typically, the morphing sequence is different, but the main idea how they morph is:The Rangers say They do something with their The suits appear on themThe rest of the suits except the helmet appear on themThe helmet appears on them by using that specific Ranger motif (example: Taylor, Wild Force. Team motif is animals. Her motif is eagles.)The Rangers do role callThen the story is told and the Rangers are officially Power Rangers and are in the Morphin Grid.Now, because powers like Time Force and SPD are from the future, and RPM is another dimension, their Morphin Grid is just a little different. Basically, the Morphin Grid has records of every Ranger ever. Every Tommy form; every Extra and Sixth Ranger, everything. So they have Time Force powers as of 2001, since even though the Rangers were from 3000, the powers were seen in 2001. Doesn't matter what tech they have. Same with SPD without the time travel.RPM gets a little tricky. Since it establishes that it is in another dimension, but in present day. I don't know what happens in RPM in detail since I never watched it all and don't want to. I do know they team up with Samurai during Clash of the Red Rangers. Well, Scott did. The others technicality did. Since Scott was the only one to appear in their dimension, he should be the only RPM Ranger in the normal Morphin Grid. As we see in Super Megaforce they can morph into RPM.I think how that works is when they go to the RPM universe, they talk and interact with them and maybe see them morph and take pictures of them, which means they have a way to get it back to the normal dimension, and since the Morphin Grid has seen those powers in detail by Scott, they just change the colour and some design.
