So I posted something previously to the Facebook group. And I commonly got a question about it, particularly where I got it. Well, I had to get this piece by piece. Becuase power rangers suits and incredibly difficult to get ahold of. You need both reliable resources and a lot of money.

Now, back in 2015 is when I first committed to getting the cosplay. I first had a loose fitting jumpsuit. A foam-ish belt, flimsy gloves and boots that were two sizes too big. I wore those the time I met Walter for the first time. And when I looked back on it, I was embarrassed. That’s when I scoured the internet for resources. Fast forward about 4 years; I got a new job for more flexible hours, so I had the money and time. Bought a more fitting suit, got properly fitting boots, sturdy gloves and cuffs. Commissioned a friend for a belt and holster, had a vintage blade blaster laying around. So all that was left was the most difficult and most expensive part, the helmet. I had a friend that made them. And it was a lot of trials and tribulations, but a year later… I finally got the helmet, it fit. The moment I had the full suit on, I felt so fulfilled. My inner child was happy. And I couldn’t wait for Walter to see. Last I saw him was Rangerstop 2019… still awkward lol but I felt better than I did when I first met him. And I Still wear it proudly.

Hey guys, wanted to share this from a week or so ago.

A friend of mine asked me to come to her son’s birthday in my black ranger cosplay. Came for him but the whole place was in pandemonium lol. But overall, it made the kid’s day.

Fun tidbit: my helmet is a little tight. its mushed against my face, so I can’t speak. So whenever he asked me questions, I answered with mostly gestures. Thankfully his parents were knowledgeable enough to answer questions for me.

…however, they did convince him I was actually Zack 😬

I think me and Walter are around the same height, so it’s okay, I guess 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣
