This update will talk about a few things I am aware of happening in the kigurumi cosplay circle of late (But of course, there are tons of kigurumi activity which I'm also not aware of). These include:
-Cici's (Cicelia Winn) completed purple hair, orange eye, gray side-tail Dita.(Hair's different, eyes different, hairstyle's different... is she still Dita >_<; hehe).
-The envy inducing AXCon went by Haru, Kei, Shino, Rinrin, Pool Trooper etc.
-The progress of the revolutionary blinking eye kigurumi mask project and what the ultimate final design is like.
-A new links page underway.
-And I'll touch on the skin-coloured kigurumi bodysuit mass order and a few things at the end.
Dita kigurumi mask
The kigurumi mask on the left is Dita (though I feel it should be called Cici). Well the original customisation was based on Dita from the hit anime Vandread, aired some time ago. Then Cici wanted a purple haired version of the Dita mask with gray side-tails, and the eye colour be orange. (btw, Dita has red hair, blue eyes etc) Hehe... plus a few more customisations, and the mask is completed. Check out more of the completed image shots in the related forum thread here:

AX Con has just been concluded. A few of our kigurumi veterans have successfully infiltrated the grounds and made themselves known~
It looks like fun and I can't wait to see pictures of them which are starting to get posted up.
Well done soldiers~! We are all proud of you. If you have been a supporter of the kigurumi movement, make sure to check the war spoils from the veterans' respective blogs.

There was Rinrin and Shino were there too.
One of the best part of the con would most likely be the Mikunopolis concert. Most of the good recordings of the concert has been taken down by copyright claims. But do a search on Youtube and you can still find the Japanese Mikunopolis concert. Its pretty neat, its just like kigurumi cosplay~^_^
The design on the left is the supposed final design of how the eye will blink, subjected to modification to fit real world conditions. I have placed an order for some parts and they are already on their way from Ebay (Hong Kong actually) to me.
The design if it works, will be quite easy to replicate in future masks in comparison to the air pressure solenoid method devised earlier on. If you look at the earlier result video of the blinking eyes, you would have known that the eyes can now open and close, but I can only control it with my hands for now.
The push solenoids will replace the air pistons and create the pushing force to close and open the eyelids~^_^. Find out the entire blinking eye building process while it is happening here:

There were many good ideas and suggestions provided by friends and random visitors. There were also numerous failed outcomes to read about too. It has been a rather exciting experience~^_^.
Next up, A new Links Page is underway
Aiming to provide a service to kigurumi cosplayers and kigurumi lovers alike, the links page is a crucial component. However if you look at how things are right now, it seems to be pretty crappy at best. There are tons of broken links and I haven't had time to update new URLs into the list of links.
Well hopefully that is about to change as we have enlisted the help of a l33t h@x0r by the name of H377_r0|< (hell_rok, but I think the l33t spelling is cooler) to h@x the link page into a omgwtfnobbq better one. How will it turn out, we shall see~^_^
Bodysuit mass order
The hand picked high quality material has been sent to the tailor to make the suits. I reckon they will be completed within a week and get sent back to me. Well, there after I will have to dye them. I wrote a cute story of how I made the high quality bodysuits on my Facebook. Add me on Facebook and check it out on my wall~^_^
More announcements for buyers will be announced in this thread:
