fangamer displayed the little buddies at PAX west! they can be removed from their bases, and we managed to get a sneak peek of lesser dog’s easter egg!
This is my 4-year-old son cosplaying as Mettaton Ex from the game Undertale.
Mettaton is his all-time favorite character. He loved walking around the con and striking his signature pose for the legions of MTT fans desperate for a photo of their favorite star. 😉
His armor and belt buckle are made of 2mm foam, all pieces attached with velcro for convenience, comfort, and adjust-ability of size. The sleeves and belt are made from Yaya Han 4-way Metallic fabric, which is AMAZING. The sleeves are detachable for comfort (trying to keep the costume cool since he’s so young and most cons here are in the middle of the summer.) and the belt has long strips of velcro so it will adjust as he grows. Obviously his hair is the wrong color – he wouldn’t tolerate a wig and we decided against hair dye.
The under garments for the costume are a black tank top and black capri leggings – again, more concerned with his comfort and ability to beat the heat than anything else. Very important factors when designing a costume for someone with limited communication skills! If you’re not positive that they can inform you of the symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, make sure that you plan for their comfort and keep them cool and hydrated!
I am the photographer and creator/finder of all aspects of his costume, including the cosplayer himself, though I always ask his permission before taking or sharing photos of him. Toby Fox is the creator of the character.
So, I made a reference sheet of Frisk that was ripped off inspired from @nochocolate‘s Chara reference sheet. I hope they’re alright with me using their format/layout.
The drawings/sepia sprites used were all created by Temmie Chang, so I consider hem to be reliable sources for Frisk’s design.
NOTES
Frisk has medium-length hair that stops just above their shoulder.
While not present in the overworld sprites or figurine, Temmie has often illustrated Frisk with side-swept bangs.
They wear a crew neck shirt with long sleeves.
In some of the artwork, a black ring (possibly an undershirt?) can be seen near/under their shirt collar.
In most cases, the two stripes on their shirt only goes around the torso, not the arms. However, in the sprite of them hugging Asriel, stripes on their arms can be seen, but this has been their only appearance.
In some of the artwork, a dark ring (possibly an undershirt?) can be seen near/over their shirt collar.
Their cheeks are not as round as Chara’s.
Frisk’s bottom wear is very inconsistent. Based on the overworld sprites, it consists of shorts/pants with shoes/boots/leggings(?). The figurine has shorts and dark leggings, while some of Temmie’s art shows the same as the figurine, but sometimes gives them long pants with dark shoes as well.
They are presumably the same height as Chara.
Frisk’s hair and shoes/boots/leggings are the same color.
The blue on their shirt and the color of their shorts are the same shade of blue.
Frisk’s eye color is unknown, however some theorize that it is red. When Chara possesses them in the soulless pacifist ending, their eyes turn red when opened, despite that Chara’s eyes have not been red in any other appearance.
