Overview

A prop is something you hold that adds a wow factor to your costume. It’s the finishing touch that sets you apart from the orange-capped plastic gun-slinging cowboys out there. Could Star-Lord lead the Guardians of the Galaxy without his alien gun? Would Spiderman leave the house without his web-shooter, or Leela without her Wristlojacimator? We think not. Now is the time to put your prop-making skills to the test. We want to see you get creative with latex, cardboard, metal, or any material that suits your needs. Enter your best props for a chance to win a Fein Oscillating Multi-Tool, Samsung Smart WiFi Camera, or other awesome prizes.
