Cosplay can get expensive, especially if you're taking it seriously and regularly trying out new ideas. So take it from Anucha “Cha” Saengchart. The Internet's beloved cosplay enthusiast and the creator behind "Lowcost Cosplay" is back at it again to remind us that it's possible to transform into someone else on a shoestring budget. All it takes is creativity.
From a bootleg Joker to Billie Eilish straight out of a VOGUE cover, Saengchart is sure to inspire you with his out-of-the-box use of everyday items. No wonder he has over 5M followers! When you're done scrolling through this post, you can find more of his ingenious cosplay on our previous articles here, here, here, and here.

Saengchart's cosplay and the fan army it has earned him is even more impressive when you consider his competition. From buying their outfits at stores to commissioning artists to create one-of-a-kind costumes, it's common for people to spend up to a couple thousand dollars on a single look.
RELATED:
Which shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider that people paid an estimated $17.8 billion for costumes and wigs alone in 2017, and the global industry is said to be worth at least $45 billion dollars and growing at a rate of 15% each year.So in a game where some think that big bucks mean big attention, Saengchart is living proof that the opposite is (also) true.
“If you become creative and properly use your imagination, you can use anything that makes you happy to cosplay,” Saengchart said in an interview.

I have a few ideas for all those wondering how he can breathe and how he'll get the tape off without it hurting like hell. One is that he has actually used the tape to make a helmet/headpiece that doesn't actually cover his face. As he is facing away from the camera in the final shot, you can't see any evidence that he kept the tape from the setup shots on his face. Two is that there is a very easy way to remove the tape (which is packing tape, not duct or Gaffa tape) and that is to soak it off in a warm bath.

I hope he didn’t out tape on hair balls it’s painful to take it off 😬

The friction with the tape and he prob used some tape on his hands maybe glue

There is NO tape on his face, that pic was just to show the material he is using. Rather irresponsible! I would believe that he is wearing a longsleeved t-shirt and leotards plus socks, and the tape does not even need to be wrapped all around. The headpiece is separate.

There is no body shaming this fella, that's for damn sure. He doesn't give a flying f**k. He's an absolute creative genius.

With all the stuff that is going on in the world at this time, this was such a welcome laugh. I love this guy- his stuff is so bizzare, yet so amazingly creative at the same time. I really wonder how he comes up with half his ideas. I also love how he's so in touch with his body.

This guy is hilarious and he somehow gets his cats to play along with him too.
Monika Soffronow 5 years ago
Cats that are used to being handled a lot and trust their humans will cooperate with whatever you come up with. A tomcat I had was in need of stitches on his belly after a bad encounter with barbed wire. The vet was about to hand me some very big and heavy gloves for protection when I stopped him. "That will not be needed. He knows that I am the leader and he trusts me". Some local anesthesia, a few stitches and we are ready to go when I realize that the vet is staring at the yellow striped cat and I saw that his lips were forming "strange cat".

The man is an absolute genius! The effort he puts in on all those costumes and praise to his forgiving patient kitties.

At least three kitties! How do they behave so well for shooting? Mine would be all over the place, won't stand still for second.

I counted six, unless the fluffy white one (below the cut) is just a fluffier version of the short-haired white cat. Other four cats: black, brown tabby, silver tabby and maybe another black but with a patch of white

It is amazing to me that he can see an everyday object and interpret it in a whole new, and very creative way. That is something you are born with. Genius

This man's brain can see complex objects in terms of simple shapes and colors so well. I really hope he is in art or design school somewhere.

Looking at the picture comments, I'm always amazed at how many things I write that disappear. Happens all the time. It certainly isn't censorship, because you can write really nasty stuff and people just downvote it so I wonder what's going on? It's been like this for ages.
Monika Soffronow 5 years ago
Yep. It is weird. (Maybe Bored Pandas live on a strict diet of comments?) Another weird disappearing act sometimes happen when there is only one comment shown and if I up or down-vote it it disappears instantly, abracadabra, simsalabim! And other comments appear but the one I first saw has vanished. Bad code?
