| Haku is a two-person costume, with moving jaw and follow me eyes. He's the most complicated costume I've made so far! I made him with the help of my friend Aby and we wore him to the London MCM Expo in May 2010.

Compressed Haku (Posted 11th August 2010) Haku's huge size, while a defining feature of his uniqueness, has caused several problems with transport and postage. |
|
Tomorrow... (Posted 28th May 2010) We will be mainly hanging around the DLR entrance on the Saturday, and we will also be in the masquerade. Sunday we'll probably just be wandering around outside, that is if it doesn't rain! |
|
Finished! (Posted 27th May 2010) Finally, after 3 months of non-stop work, Haku is finished! |
|
Yes! (Posted 25th May 2010) The fur's here! Thank God! |
|
Oh no! (Posted 20th May 2010) I've run out of fuuur! 8 days before Expo! DX |
|
Travel Woes (Posted 2nd May 2010) Ok... I have no idea how to get this thing up to Expo .-. |

This is going to be amazing!!! Hope to see it at expo ^^
Yes! This will be epic!
This looks so impressive already! Please post photos of the full thing once it's completed! ^-^ Also, I must ask, how many people will it take to operate it? :)
It's a two-person costume; one is in the front legs operating the head, and the other as the back legs operating the tail :)
Thanks everyone! ^^

Aww thats realy sad to hear in your journal that Haku has been chopped up lol...He looked awesome as a 2 person suit...I can see the complications in sending him off to other places though....Im sure he still looks awesome...Good luck.
He just took up too much room :( We weren't really planning to wear him again anyway, he was so uncomfortable lol!
This was easily one of my fave costumes at the May expo :D It was just so epic and really well made :D
This was amazing. <3
My favourite costume at the masq and indeed Expo May '10! So awesome.
