BGC 2033 Real Hardsuits
Gallery 1 - AnimEigo Auction
The following text is from the original hardsuit auction webpage at AnimEigo's website:
"Many years ago, AnimEigo obtained several hand-made hardsuit costumes crafted by Mr. Takagi
Ryoosuke, a professional modeller. These particular pieces were showcased in an article of B-Club
Magazine in Japan, and one of them (the Nene costume) was worn in the article by Nene's voice
actress. These costumes have lots of cute features, including built-in prop weapons, claw
articulation, and much more. Really cool stuff! We showed off the costumes at several conventions,
but the time and expense of shipping them to conventions (and the wear and tear on the costumes)
made this impractical to continue doing. So they went into storage, and have been in storage for
several years. We have come to the decision that since we can't really use these costumes anymore,
we ought to pass them on to fans who can properly restore, care for, and exhibit them.
Please note that these suits are sold as-is; they both require cleaning, repair, repainting,
and there may be small parts missing. These are complex costumes best suited (ahem!) for serious
cosplay enthusiasts. They are designed to fit petite women."
NENE NOTES: "The Nene costume is the more sophisticated of the two. It is made of metal and
fiberglass components. Apart from repainting, the major damage to this costume is that the two
antenna on her helmet have broken off."

LINNA NOTES: "The Linna costume is constructed of both metal and soft foam components. The
major damage to this costume (apart from repainting) is that over time, the foam panels have lost
some of their curvature, and they'll have to be rebent to the correct shape."
