Hi all!
Well, it took the Japanese cosplay industry long enough, but they have finally gotten around to producing a series of licensed Tatsunoko character costumes. Along with characters like Yatterman and Casshan, they have included one of Ken from Gatchaman.
Here's a picture of the ad showing what the suit looks like:
The costume seems to be of the one-size-fits-all variety, and is designed for people who are up to 175 cm tall (5' 9") and weigh up to 70 kg (154 lbs).
The set consists of a two-piece polyester bodysuit, a polyurethane and PVC helmet, a polyester belt, and a cotton/polyester blend cape.
I haven't been able to find an official suggested retail price, but the various places I've seen offering it seem to have it for between 7,750 yen and 8,500 yen (Roughly $77.50 to $85.00 at current exchange rates).
Before you ask, Ken is the only Gatchaman-related costume in the line, at least currently. Perhaps if it sells well, they'll expand the line to include a Joe or a Jun. We'll just have to wait and see on that count. In the meantime, at least there's an official Ken cosplay outfit for you to wear!
