I go online and in the mall to search for the best costume for my son, and to be honest the prices aren't cheap. I found the pikachu costume that I wanted but my husband pointed out that if Leon doen't like it, I'd be wasting P1,500 and I think he's right. My search is not over though, everyone will be in costumes and I'd like my son to be wearing one too.
The gods must have heard my search which led me to a Toys 'R Us pop-up shop in Shangri-La Plaza (beside Kidzoona). They were selling old costumes of okd popular characters like Teletubbies and Sesame Street. I was browing the display and found the yellow teletubbies costume, Tinky Winky. I suddenly have an idea to just rework the costume into a Pikachu!
Tinky Winky's costume for only P150!
Remember the teletubbies?
Removed the silver square in the middle portion.
Sewed the details, which was 4 brown patches on the sides and the tail.
And with a Pikachu hat, I think we nailed it! Everyone loved the costume and was following my son around the mall yesterday. But he was running around and enjoying the treats . He was a bit oblivious of him wearing a popular character. I am just happy he enjoyed the party.
Another photo of him, enjoying the carpet in one of the shops.
After going around though, he wanted to remove his costume to enjoy his treats. Happy Halloween everyone!
