And 1 punky wig is enough for styling a Teen Gohan SSJ wig ?

I used a punky wig and a pack of loose extensions. The loose extensions were then attached to the stiffened felt spikes, the spikes were then attached to the wig and the wig was then styled around the spikes.

It was cheaper this way than buying two punky wigs. You just have to make sure you get a good colour match between your base wig and your loose extensions.

Thanks ^_^

I used the stiffened felt method developed by . Cut spikes from yellow stiffened felt (either buy stiffenred felt or stiffen your own) then hot glue loose wig hair in rows to the spikes. Attach the spikes to a base punky wig and comb, glue, cut and hairspray the wig hair over the spikes. Presto.

What wig did you use for it?? Everyone says the Punky XL wig from Cosworx but I can't find the 613 colored one

Hmm. I bought a punky from cosworx a couple of weeks ago as the UK seller I've used previously was out of stock. I've got to say I'm not impressed with their service so far. They didn't answer my emails and only sent me a shiping notiication today... Anyway I looked on their site and you're right - I can no longer see the punky style in their shop.

This seller however apears to still have them in stock though I haven't used the store before: [link]

LOVE your Gohan cosplay~! I use to cosplay as SSJ Teen Gohan as well, one of my first cosplays(the other being Ash Ketchum) since A-Kon 18 in 2007 and sold both outfit in 2011. It was fun while it lasted~ now I cosplay Bardock, and soon to cosplay Goten(End of Z episodes) and maybe Ultimate Gohan too~ :3

Your welcome ^^

That's because I didn't have a whole lot from him. But thank you on the Bardock, I'm still finding a wig, then I'll edit it which'll take about 10 minutes or so. And same to you! :3

The photographer captured a great image. I'm so pleased with it. It was a real team effort for this picture. The camera man and his tripod and a friend tossing my cape into the air.

I can't remember you putting on Trunks' voice.

I couldn't resist putting on an American accent for a while though I kept having to remind myself to be a bit husky and I know I babbled away at you when we were playing with the paper lasers.

When I first came across Natsumi and Dan (Goku and ChiChi) I first spoke to them in an American accent and they got so confused when I started speaking normally

Thanks. This is me pretending to know about martial arts .

The ChiChi cosplayer from the other pics held up my cape and then tossed it at the photographer's command to get the flowing effect. We managed to get the shot in only a couple of takes which was really lucky!
