Cheap cosplay

Cosplay can get expensive, especially if you're taking it seriously and regularly trying out new ideas. So take it from Anucha “Cha” Saengchart. The Internet's beloved cosplay enthusiast and the creator behind "Lowcost Cosplay" is back at it again to remind us that it's possible to transform into someone else on a shoestring budget. All it takes is creativity.

Cosplay is expensive. Japanese manufacturers of cosplay costumes reported a profit of 35 billion yen in 2008, but evidently, Anucha "Cha" Saengchart didn't get the message when he started the “Lowcost Cosplay” Facebook page in 2013. You can read our previous post about his cheap cosplay here.

From $101 to $600: apparently, that’s how much cosplayers spend for a costume. If you, like me, think that this is crazy money, remember that it’s on average, meaning a high-end cos art can set you back $2,000.

If you've ever dreamed of pulling off Harley Quinn or Sonic The Hedgehog for the next cosplay convention coming to your town, you probably had to postpone the plans after realizing just how freakin' expensive it is.
