Scyther Costume

My 7 year old son is Scyther. With Pokemon Go being so big right now, naturally my son wanted to be a pokemon. So we chose one of his favorites.

I used rolled foam that I cut and glued into shape. I then used fabric to create the skin. It's very lightweight as its all foam and fabric. The bottom piece has suspenders to that it stays up and he has straps on the boots that allow him to move around with ease. The scythes are removable and he wears them like gloves. I sewed the body suit underneath so that he had extra protection and warmth without taking away from the costume itself.
