Oh my god, a picture that isn't pony related.
===
Yes, my love of Earthbound has gone beyond the impossible. It's reached "Desperately searching nerd-shops in Japan for merchandise" and "Commission a £165 Kigurumi" levels.
I wanted to do an Earthbound cosplay. Who to cosplay? Well, Giygas, of course. Although that resulted in the small problem of how you cosplay a being that has no physical form and is only shown as a swirling red sprite mixed with a never-ending stream of mindscrew imagery and a foetus. I'd seen several attempts, from gijinkas to wearing a cardboard cut-out around your neck. But none of them were actually Giygas.
A kigurumi was the answer. Specifically, Custom Kigurumi: a London based company that makes kigurumis to order. It took a while, but the result was fantastic. The 'tail' has grab-handles fitted, so it can be held above the head to complete the look.

So, here's a picture from a quick photoshoot I did today. Giygas somehow sneaking up on an unsuspecting Mr Saturn.
===
The Mr Saturn plush was bought while I was in Japan. The whole 'searching nerd shops' thing is true - I covered quite a lot of Den Den town trying to find somewhere that sold Earthbound/Mother 2 stuff. I finally found one, but couldn't buy everything on display due to limited suitcase space, so I just got that (it came with a trash can too) and a Ness and Pokey statue. And then there's the smaller Mr Saturn I spent ¥800/£5 trying to win from a UFO Catcher while in Hiroshima. Cheaper than importing, folks!

I wore this to London Expo on the 29th May, and was very surprised at the number of people who recognised Giygas: about 10, if I remember correctly.
