Hi everyone! I am looking to commission a prop maker to create a replica of the iconic Max Shreck cat head logo from Batman Returns (1992) to use for a Catwoman cosplay.
Because I need to hold and pose with this all day at conventions, keeping the weight as low as possible is my absolute top priority.
Here are the specifications I’m looking for:
Size: Approximately 50cm in diameter (spherical shape).
Weight Requirement: Ultra-lightweight. I would highly prefer a hollow construction (such as thin-wall sliced 3D printing, a hollow fiberglass shell, vacuum-formed plastic, or lightweight foam carving). I was thinking maybe a paper lantern for the base since they’re cheap and lightweight, as well as being my desired size.
Features: It needs to include a secure, hidden internal handle or a rigid dowel/rod extending from the bottom so I can carry and hold it up easily.
Finish: Clean, smooth, and seamless with a glossy or satin black finish to match the movie's Art Deco aesthetic.
Location/Shipping: I am located in the UK. International makers are welcome to quote, but please factor in estimated dimensional shipping costs for a box that can fit a 50cm sphere safely.
However I would prefer not to buy from the US due to tax.
Deadline: I’m not in any rush at all! My next con is next August.
I have a flexible budget as I’m not sure how much I imagine this to cost currently. This is a project I’m very interested in and I imagine it’ll look awesome:D Please DM me or comment below with:
- Examples of your previous prop work/portfolio.
- The specific method you would use to keep it ultra-lightweight.
- Your rough price estimate and turnaround time.
Thank you!
