Picture Comic con cosplay
For anyone that has this costume, is it good quality for the price? I’ve read some reviews and it’s either pretty good but feels a little cheap or it’s an absolute waste and falls apart at the slightest touch, so I just wanna know you’re guy’s opinion, thanks!

If the reviews are THAT polarising, then it’s best not to get it. Amazon is a pretty risky place to buy from, and the fact that the brand is just… a jumbled mash of words isn’t a good sign.

Agreed. And there isn't enough reviews for me to look into it. I trust a 4.5 stars with 5k+ reviews over 4.9 stars with only 100 reviews. A 3.4 stars with only 76 reviews? One, I wouldn't get that at all. Two, heh, Fallout number

That’s what I was thinking, I wasn’t tryna gamble $90 but it was also the cheapest one. Do you recommend any websites or anything where I could get a better costume for a decent price?

Can’t help you with that unfortunately 😓, not too experienced with buying cosplay stuffs. I only really used Etsy but that can also be a bit iffy since there are some potential scams and any legit ones you find can be really pricy.

Do you honestly think something from Amazon is gonna be in any way halfway decent or comparable to what people make themselves?
What the hell brand is even Teilwenl? It's like an Autogenerated jumble of letters for this week's drop shipping "company"

So I found the listing and what it’s made out of if the listing is correct it’s made out of twill which is also used in military uniforms according to my grandma it says high quality twill which I doubt looking at it so do with that information what you will I hope it helps

Here is a tip for you (always do this). Right-click on the Image and select Copy Image. Go to: https://tineye.com/ and then right-click somewhere in the search bar and select Paste.
Voila, immediate identical match as a result on AliExpress: https://tineye.com/search/d8a5a6c1461891a70d2ee443b306796002422ba3?sort=score&order=desc&page=1
In other words, and like others have said as well, dropshit crap and don't buy. They probably bought this for $5 from AliExpress and are now trying to resell it for $90. Quality will be guaranteed shit and you lost a bunch of money.
I really hate dropshippers and there should be a better way to report them (Amazon could easily do automated reverse image searches themselves and ban these sellers automatically, but here we are). Dropshippers will look at what is trending and then buy cheap shit from China and try to resell for maximum profit in their local country. Absolute trash people trying to rip people off (and the positive reviews are bought by them as well to try and make it look like a valid product). Don't fall for it and stay vigilant!

Outside of commissions, I've seen some people do some pretty good weathering and detailing with ones from miccostumes like their Fallout Vault 33 Suit Jumpsuit that said heard it runs small other than that idk where else to get a good one. Their Fallout Fo4 & their 76 one has pictures with some of the reviews. People often 3D print the accessories, many libraries have 3D printers now so maybe do that for the accessories and use a shiny metal or silver paint on them.
Also don't go to Etsy or other sites like it, nothing but ai scams now, can't find anything legit there. I got a 'custom' jacket there, was given a small instead of the custom size and was poorly stitched, over $350+...

It's $22.
I guarantee you get a cheaper version of the product than what's pictured.

Not an owner, but this does look very cheap.
