Description Finally got my Avatar Yangchen cosplay mark 2 done and got to go to San Diego Comic Con 2011 - epic I hand carved my staff and got to meet Mike, Bryan, Jeremy, Ben, Ryu and Jaiquoim and got them all to sign it Sadly united airlines and/or air new zealand broke the staff on it's way back to New Zealand from the Con... So now trying to figure how to fix it Yup, I did shave my head this time I also managed to get a wig to work for the other half of the head

How did you make that staff. I'm building a airbender cosplay for comic con and wondering how to build that type of staff.

Wow, we had several folk from Thailand that we met though they weren't there for ATLA, they were there for some of the Animie and Magna comic stuff.... Never think it's impossible, make it a goal and you never know, it took me 25years to get there, but I still got there in the end

Sooooooooooo cool!! You did such a great job on this - and I completely admire the commitment to the extent of shaving your head! And signatures from so many of the creative team, too!

Thanks Syagria - really love doing this cosplay and am happy to shave the head as it saves truck loads of dollars in hair products! LOL.....
