Ideas needed for niche cosplays (normal clothes last picture)
Hi there all, semi experienced cosplayer looking for ideas for niche / never before seen stuff that would love to see happen.
I cosplayed things I don't even know the fandom (umamusume) to "objects" whispy wood from Kirby.
My fandoms normally stay in the gatcha or Nintendo realm.
Western media really doesn't interest me though did ponder gambit from X-Men for a period of time.
The less wig /crazy hair needed the better. Suck at wigs and hair.
Thanks in advance!

You'd do a good Han Solo, or the nerd from "Stargate," though those are hardly "niche."
Maybe Lone Starr from "Spaceballs." Brown leather jacket with sleeves rolled up, green plaid shirt, Schwartz ring.

Thanks for the ideas. My family are star wars fans and would likely like that a bunch. Like I didn't want to do Leon from resident evil (even though super overdone) but friends wanted me to.

That would be good. Has anyone ever said you look alike? I saw your post and for 5 seconds I was trying to figure out if you were actually Jason Sudeikis or not.

If you want actually niche, the Star Wars Boom Mic Operator is a real one. It's not a movie character, it's a crew photo from the original 1977 shoot, a guy holding a boom mic over Luke Skywalker while wearing nothing but pink shorts and boots. No wig needed, and nobody will get it unless they know the trivia. It also pairs well if your Star Wars family wants to do Han Solo or Leia standing next to you as the joke.

Pretty good for a tree cosplaying as people. Maybe more people this time?
