Cosplaying as the same old characters can become boring, especially for those cosplayers who make different costumes for every convention they go to, but it's easy to make an old character look fresh again.
All you have to do is put a new twist on the character's traditional look, or put together an always compelling hybrid character costume, and bend both time and space to your will.
But be forewarned- once you start meddling with the traditional look of your favorite characters you might find it virtually impossible to go back to basics!
