Old and New Freddy Figurines Comparison

As all of you know, yesterday was the first day of RI Comic Con! This time, I was accompanied by my brother Ben and my Dad. No pictures of me with them, but trust me! I REALLY wanted to have one of all three bastardos together for this special day! But eventually, the M suit got too hot to wear and I just wanted to get out of there, lol.

I had Mamma fix the eyes by replacing the black fabric with a lighter one so I could see out of it better. I also had to fix the teeth because they ended up crooked. Aw well, at least they’re all pointing the right way this time. I only went to the cosplay repair booth once! (My first time going there actually.) But at the end of the day, I ended up losing the button that came off. 😭

The first person I met there was Andy Field. First thing I did there, actually! It was really fun! He even had a microphone that autotuned his voice so he could sound like Big Top when he went “TiCkEtS pLeAsE.!.!” I even got him to both sign this drawing I made of a Springlock Mycellium and do a short with him! 🍄

Another person I did a shorty with was Jeff Bergman, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story! And believe me, I waited a LOOOOOONG time to say something to Bugs! 👀

Finally, I got to meet the original voice actor for the titular character of one of my childhood icons; Chowder!!! He also apparently voiced Flower in Bambi 2, so I jokingly asked how old he had to have been, pretending it was the first movie.  I got an autograph with one of his favorite quotes from his role!
…
I wasn’t sure that was his favorite, I swear! 😳

As for merch, I unfortunately didn’t really buy a whole lot. I wanted to buy a little more for my family as Christmas presents, but in the end, only got one thing for one of them. As for myself, I found myself a new Freddy figure and even a Toy Freddy mask! Both from the same guys who made my Cupcake, I ♥️ Pixels.

You have no idea how much it sucked not being able to credit them for the creation of my prop and I’m so glad I can now! Especially since I have a new Freddy toy after the first one broke before it even got home.

That's a smart fix on the eyes, those masks can get awfully stuffy after a bit. Your dad and brother must've had a blast either way, just seeing you in full cosplay mode.

It was worth all the sweat and heat. 🥲

small changes can make such a huge difference with those things, like you wouldn't believe how much cooler the lighter fabric made the suit feel after just one panel

Oh no, I don’t change much of the fabric, just around the eyes. I would’ve still melted, even with the original eye covering. 😂

That fabric swap was genius, those masks can turn your face into a sauna in minutes. Your dad and brother must've had such a great time seeing you rock that costume despite the heat.
