Mettaton Ex from Undertale
Submitter’s Comment:
This is my 4-year-old son cosplaying as Mettaton Ex from the game Undertale.
Mettaton is his all-time favorite character. He loved walking around the con and striking his signature pose for the legions of MTT fans desperate for a photo of their favorite star. ;)
His armor and belt buckle are made of 2mm foam, all pieces attached with velcro for convenience, comfort, and adjust-ability of size. The sleeves and belt are made from Yaya Han 4-way Metallic fabric, which is AMAZING. The sleeves are detachable for comfort (trying to keep the costume cool since he’s so young and most cons here are in the middle of the summer.) and the belt has long strips of velcro so it will adjust as he grows. Obviously his hair is the wrong color - he wouldn’t tolerate a wig and we decided against hair dye.
The under garments for the costume are a black tank top and black capri leggings - again, more concerned with his comfort and ability to beat the heat than anything else. Very important factors when designing a costume for someone with limited communication skills! If you’re not positive that they can inform you of the symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, make sure that you plan for their comfort and keep them cool and hydrated!
I am the photographer and creator/finder of all aspects of his costume, including the cosplayer himself, though I always ask his permission before taking or sharing photos of him. Toby Fox is the creator of the character.
Thank you for sharing!
