Wolverine Cosplay- Build & Reveal

#Wolverine #Cosplay
Make sure you stay after the credits 😉
Please keep in mind that the budget on this was minuscule, hence the lack of blood as that would require multiple costumes etc.
Well Geeks & Geekettes, here is the full Cosplay build and capping it of is “Wolverine”, a fan made clip by the incredible Danielo and Sarah of ‪@luxxemedia‬
Featuring my dear friend Sam as a Stryker mercenary and myself as Wolverine.
This was a brutal shoot as the elements of an Australian summer were hitting hard. But Danielo, Sarah and Sam all went above and beyond to deliver something I’m beyond proud of.
Regardless, we made it work more than I could have ever imagined. And this is because of the wonderfully talented and dedicated little crew I had.
Anyway, enough blabbering…
Enjoy,
Snikt ///

Now I’m convinced that the reason we haven’t gotten the suit in live action is because they assumed it would be bad and just didn’t try. This is absolutely incredible work, dude.

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

Absolutely agree

[@HiroIndo16]

lmfao X-men movies hates comic accurate costumes. the reason why people love X-men is because it's the first competent superhero movies and the latter ones are great (first class & logan) fans don't even realize that the producers hates costumes be ause they're in love with the characters

[@chaingang90]

This aged well

[@adriel.013]

Yeah, that's totally the real reason.. At the time of the first movie, comics where "child stuff" so the old grumpy producers really thought colorfull suits where bad and childish. They never considered making it more "functional" and adult, which is a shame

[@CakesByChoppA]

honestly one of my favourite things you have ever made! for a wolverine fan boy this hit all the right notes! great work my dude!

[@dansketch]

We need this as a full movie, it was so sick

[@snowfoxcosplays]

Dude you make an awesome Wolvie and those pads acting as shoulder pads is pure brilliance

[@johnmichael_]

The amount of thought and detail that went into this is insaaaane! Amazing job, you really outdid yourself on this one! 🙌🙌👏👏

[@seanromeramc]

Wow, seeing as how Hugh Jackman is bound to wear some version of this in DP3 (hopefully), you have set the bar so fucking high for Marvel Studios to compete with! Just goes to show that the yellow and blue can be incredibly gritty and badass, yet still retain that awesome comic accuracy. You even look perfect for the role. Amazing work man!

[@kaosvalentine]

Now imagine that the studios costume looks worse(as lately they often do)....who would win, A youtuber on a limited budget with passion or a multi million dollar studio with unlimited resources?

[@seanromeramc]

@@kaosvalentine that would be insane

[@jacobmontaguemiscellaneous9335]

This is insanely cool

[@TheSharkshaw]

im so happy the paint on the shoulder pads you made wouldnt stick cuz i think a little yellow to break up that solid blue looks great

[@LongNeck277]

Chris! I love your videos and this cosplay! Wow! Would you please consider doing another Wolverine cosplay but in the Brown / Yellow color scheme?? Your cosplay in those colours with the white eyes would be 200% level badassery

[@ATaylor9223]

Now this is WOLVERINE 😍💛💙💛💙 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HUGH NEEDS TO WEAR great job Chris Fantastic Job im jealous!! 👏 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏

[@-Jozef]

I watched the whole video and I have to say you never fail to amaze me. Keep up the good work🔥

[@harleybliss6060]

Am I the only one who loves Chris's so called " shitty commentary " ? Lmfao it's actually great commentary! Chris is so good at breaking down his whole process I love it! 😂

[@gimble1]

Sooooo freaking cool!!!!!

[@SlashersquadJack]

Dope cosplay as always and sick Uncharted Sir Francis Drake ring

[@theprodigy2653]

Man I almost forgot about you bro. Not a cosplayer but I really love how you transform normal cosplay suits to a very detailed weathered looks on it! Rock on brother! ❤️👍 Been watching you before, good to be back here on your channel! 😁😉👍

[@adamblanco5028]

Pleaseee do a shredder cosplay from the first turtle movie!! Keep up the good work from Sacramento Ca!!

[@Borger3941]

This was absolutely badass. All of it.

[@Ihavenohandle....]

Nice work my man.👍👍👍👍👍

[@YoungPilot11]

Looks amazing

[@cassanovafilms]

Wow! Super Bad-Ass suit, Great job. Didn’t even know where was a short coming at the end and it was an Awesome surprise, can’t wait to see more. ❌

[@micahpowers2614]

I really hope that we do get a Yellow Suited Wolverine in DP3 lmao. It might look dumb as hell but it would be funny and awesome haha

[@micahpowers2614]

@CosplayChris. omg im so excited. Fuck off

[@marioarguedas7748]

Waw amazing the wolverine is my favorite superhero forever I like this I wanna cosplay

[@aleyaakteralo1366]

This costume is cool 👍🇧🇩

[@Light-Rock97]

Good thing the pads were yellow instead of lime green or pink. The yellow showing made them cooler.

[@MoonPuppy76]

A much better film than Logan was in my opinion. You are amazing! So glad that I found your channel. I've been a viewer of yours for a few years now and I'm never disappointed. I assume it was very hot the day that you filmed this but in my opinion the costume needs a neck cover. Did you have one but sacrificed it for the heat? Keep on rocking it!

[@carloschillipimmel786]

Awesome Video man you made my day

[@futrfromundertherock4917]

always loving the work! have you given thought to a seem ripper, much less risk and damage to the fabric, so if you mess up, you can simply sew it back on.

[@Cyril29a]

Great job, I laughed a lot at the face ID bit. I am sure the suit is to scale but I wonder if the "Ears" aren't a bit too large for a real world look? Just a minor suggestion not a complaint

[@the-pezinator]

The brand is TOUGHBUILT, that's just the name that you said of the exact product lol.

[@PemakanUranium]

It looks like the Wolverine suit from the 2008 Deadpool game

[@fbi9968]

Been waiting for this one

[@TarheelFlips]

I like to watch the video in reverse and it's now a restoration video.

[@timberfox104]

the knee pads he got are like $80us construction site grade knee pads, and Watching him destroy them made me want to shed a manly tear.

[@allengeorge9348]

I need a more in-depth video no lie because I want to make this and maybe other boots?

[@mikepurdy9960]

Bad ass dude!!!

[@mikepurdy9960]

Am I reading this correctly?? I actually won something??Thanks dude, but there are more deserving folks out there, I just really enjoyed your short and the passion you put into this project. I watched your Lee Falk The Phantom episode a few months back and immediately thought that it was so kick ass. Hope to see more of your interpretation of Pulp Heroes...

[@kazmainiandevil3890]

plz tell me what store you got the knee pads at because if its like a home depo or lows i could use them for my mandolorian cosplay ive been working on

[@thestopgobber8631]

Hey Chris, is the Wolverine Diet not recommended because it’s not healthy? Or is it just really boring and annoying to maintain? I’d love to give it a go but I know a lot of “diets” out there are super dangerous and hard to maintain

[@kaidenlemonaden]

normally I prefer brown and not blue but in this case it's alright

[@JamyBot]

I'd love to see you do a colab with Adam Savage

[@TheJimyyy]

Darkmatterprops do replica claws same as the movie props and he do all version of movie and comics

[@seangere9698]

Do you not have urethane paint in any stores near you? If so, use them to paint the gauntlets. It will stick to them just fine.

[@Bat-talk]

If matt reeves made wolverine

[@lucask3563]

Where did you get the mannequin from?

[@robrealcuts]

Bad ass

[@florider_hd]

Remember the days when youtube auto generated subtitles called us "greeks and gay cats"

[@ericsonguzzle861]

Can you post a link to the boots?

[@GuiOfficial]

It kinda looks like the comedian uniform with Wolverines "head"

[@robrob6322]

Do a brown and tan suit

[@putCams]

No dirt from the driveway? :(

[@kevincreations9949]

Imagine if cosplay chis plays Wolverine in the MCU or Justin fan film because you really look like act like literally a good person to play Wolverine even though you don't have the body type you literally looks just like him you know. The power of cost players you could do whatever you want because here is your imagination is the key

[@thearthurmarston9897]

Bet all the haters who kept saying the yellow suit would look stupid in live action are eating crow rn

[@1st_lokage92]

😂💯

[@gijpa0474]

Fun to see this again after Deadpool and Wolverine is out 😅

[@boatwithwheels]

Looks so grimey and badass, easily one of the best Wolverine costumes I've ever seen, awesome as always 👏🏼

[@VanDutch87]

Just goes to show that this should’ve been the film costume from the start 👍🏻

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

Hey you never know, I have a feeling we might get something similar in Deadpool 3 😁 🤞

[@Borger3941]

@@anthonytuccillo6274 actually, I think he has a video where he does say they could have a suit like this in deadpool 3

[@derekryan5336]

If it happens that would awesome. I wonder, if they do bring the suit, are they taking the one from the post credits of the wolverine?

[@Borger3941]

@@derekryan5336 oh that would be perfect

[@dragonball3166]

Maybe not comic costumes look good in live action thor love and thunder is comic accurate fans didn’t like it

[@DesignIncase]

Happy we can finally compare this suit to a movie version.

[@KING-pl3jg]

Been waiting on this one for a while. Cosplay Chris never disappoints.

[@AAAnonimAAA1st]

There's something to be done about the proportions. Despite Chris being a pretty buff guy the disproportion between cowl and rest of the costume makes him look thin. It's either reducing the size of the cowl (or making it stick closer to the head) or bulding bigger frame around shoulders/arms (maybe bigger shoulder pads).

[@dizzroc1290]

I def agree on that. The suit is amazing but the cowl is giving Mickey Mouse vibes lol

[@samspurgeon4222]

This was like watching an episode of "Bob Ross Makes Wolverine". Awesome is all I can say👍

[@Sponicman]

I heard the words "Bunnings Warehouse" and immediately shouted "HE'S AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" W Aussie Cosplay Creator

[@horrorfangaming]

This should be deadpool 4 Spoiler 👇 cause in the dp3 his suit gets completely destroyed

[@alexdoniii]

Australian accurate- wolverine

[@TheRusticNerdDad]

This was very well done, both the suit and the short. I appreciate the passion and energy put into it, especially coming from someone who is currently working on doing 1 Wolverine cosplay every month this year lol. Wolverine is very near and dear to my heart and just cheers mate, glad to see you seemed to have a great time with it too.

[@spideyproductionz]

You're the best there is of what you do and what you do is make badass cosplays

[@Filminformer1984]

He’s absolutely right about the cost efficiency of the knee pads. I’ll add - just the man hours alone for a multi-step process can be minimized to a substantial degree.

[@Ben20188]

Lettuce sandwich

[@vampera82]

Well now that deadpool 3/ deadpool & wolverine is out we now know that we can have good hero suits in movies 😁

[@Clockwork_Shadow]

Pretty insane that Logan's MCU suit apparently looks alot like your suit

[@RatbaGAMES]

In the intro the KZbin captions said “What’s happening my fellow Geeks and Gay Cats..” and I nearly choked on my food

[@rudevoices9204]

This was absolutely insane

[@truckshackley373]

Told a better Wolverine story in a few minutes and little money than X-Men Origins: Wolverine did in 2 hours and a multi-million dollar budget. If you had had time and budget something that would have been cool is after Wolverine says "Asshole." we cut to a shot of a silhouette standing some distance away and then tight focus on just a brown gloved hand and animal-like claws then extend out of the finger tips (hinting that Sabretooth is involved) An almost animal growl saying, "Soon, runt."

[@jacobalvarez8643]

Amazing! One of the best wolverine cosplays I’ve seen!

[@jacknahigian8078]

The term “illusion of crud” will now forever be in my vocabulary, thanks Chris! 12:25

[@MugshotzAS]

Nice work, Chris. Looks great!! Your weathering is getting better and better over the years. Awesome job on the film too. Really stretched those dollars out.

[@ashmichaelk]

Loved watching you work on this, incredible result 🔥

[@microshaft3109]

Dad Bod Wolverine! Nicely done!

[@borntolose1]

Chris, I've said it before, and I'll say it again; if I ever make my fortune, I'll fund whatever projects you want. We'll build our own cinematic universe! Now, maybe my Punisher should meet your Wolvie ;)

[@REaDComicsau]

This would have to be my favourite Cosplay of yours.

[@spideyevolution7445]

Heck yeah, more cosplay content, I love it

[@spideyevolution7445]

Is it just me or does it look like a live version of the x-men animated series Wolverine suit

[@tyranusgraves2848]

The Wolverine is back Baby! Excellent work as always Chris!

[@Mark.Rose.Stunts]

When you paint mold-injected plastic, the thing that prevents the primer/paint from adhering is remnants of mold-release. Run a blowtorch over the plastic for a few seconds (dont melt it), and you can wipe off the mold release with a paper towel and maybe some Isopropyl Alcohol. Wear a mask/ventilator to avoid toxic fumes. Then a decent primer will adhere MUCH better.

[@james1214]

For polyethele plastics (like the sides of the kneepads) that paint won't adhere to, you can hit them lightly with a butane or propane torch, this changes the structure of the surface and will make paints and adhesives stick very well. That said I really like the yellow weathering and chipping. Chalk it up to a happy accident.

[@heheAHHHH]

I think Kevin feige should hire you

[@blakeynz]

That was awesome and the costume looks great. My only critique was when you stabbed him you should have said something like "nice try bub" or "it will take more than that on me bub" essentially I was waiting to hear bub

[@H3NXD]

Reminds:DC Trickster costume

[@fracturedfingers]

If Hugh Jackman has a suit like this in Deadpool people will go nuts.

[@blackbirds1560]

We are on Deadpool and Wolverine now

[@torontofreddy8688]

Mr Stanley! How in the fuck are you not on the silver screen??? Absofuckinloutely incredible mate!!! Now!..Give me claw!

[@keithkeihsa9350]

Wolverine has had multiple costumes over the years but my 2 favorites are the original first the maroon and gold the second is from the uncanny X-Men cartoon from the 90s both of which has black claw marks between the neck and shoulders and around the sides and legs. The belt was dark red and the emblem belt buckles was yellow x and red inside. The boots had sharp tops kinda like the cowl which was black stripes down to the toes and either blue boots if it's the yellow suit and maroon is it's the maroon and gold suit.

[@ChristopherPayneMUA]

I haven't watched one of your videos in a minute. Isn't the intro music from the old Indy Mogul BFX videos?

[@sodeiku]

favorite segment , dirt from a driveway shoe polish it's like a warm hug

[@ModdedGarage]

next time instead of casting the wood. use thin cyanoacrylate and saturate the balsa. repeat with rubber gloves. rubbing the glue back and forth quickly. this will make the wood (any wood) like plastic that can be sanded or polished to a gloss surface.

[@lanimask4314]

Amazing! What camera did you use to shoot the video at the end? Looks great haha

[@hugheggs]

great job. his costume especially the mask and the blue and yellow just does not lend itself to film well. it just doesnt make sense for a guy whos job it is is to be sneaky, violent with his offputing demeanor to have that kind of get up. I have yet to see any version that fans have done thats made me believe this can be done. spiderman, captain america. they make sense character wise and look legit. i just cant buy Wolverine wearing anything like that. That being said, This effort is still better than the X movies black leather.

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

Oh man love this.. great job! We should try to get you on our show sometime for an interview or something like that 😁👍👍

[@dragonball3166]

I’m out of cosplay wasn’t for me if I do get back into cosplay it mandolin., Know dam well marvel will show him drinking no smoking alcohol is more dangerous than smoking oh no we can’t show that in movies

[@brians_casual_shenanigans]

Looks great, man. Gotta love those happy accidents, when adding battle damage. My crow coat grabbed and wrapped around the drill bit, turned into a shotgun blast, lol
