Gantz
Gantz is a manga/anime/game/movie, and tells the of people who have died and become part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which they and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill aliens armed with a handful of futuristic items, equipment, and weaponry. Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence and sexual content.
My friend really wanted to do this costume, but didn't know where to start, so he ordered it online from one of those Chinese custom-tailored cosplay shops, but when it arrived it didn't fit him at all, and it didn't look accurate at all. So he brought it to me to fix it. Every part of the costume had to be altered in some way. The under suit was too baggy, the over suit was too long, the collar didn't cover around the back, the buttons weren't the right shape or color. So, we fixed it, and now it looks great.
The props are a x-gun, and sword. If you're curious about the over-suit part.; it velcros open at the crotch, and you pull it over your head. This particular fabric wasn't stretchy, so it flopped open sometimes at the back when I moved.
The most annoying part about renovating a low quality store bought costume is realizing that you could've made it better yourself, easier/cheaper. oh well.
Costume consists of: Under-suit, over-suit, collar, wrist bits, ankle bits, wig, shoes, props, ect.
