Soon after Han Solo made his grand entrance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he encountered some trouble—you know, business as usual—when Han and Chewbacca’s freighter was boarded by the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub. The Guavian Death Gang enforcers were particularly memorable. The designs were creepy, but there’s more: They have cybernetic augmentation and are injected with chemicals to enhance aggression and speed. Yikes.
Cosplayer Sean thought the look of the characters was interesting, and he hadn’t seen them cosplayed yet, so he decided to create a Guavian Death Gang enforcer costume. He spent about four months completing the project. He modeled and then 3D printed the hardware aspects of the suit—the helmet, the buckle on the utility harness, and the gauntlets. He used EVA foam and craft foam to construct the shoulder armor and shin guards. The result is something that would intimidate anyone:
Make the leap to the gallery below to see the costume come together in some cool making of photos. Keep up with Sean’s work at Facebook and Twitter.
Do you cosplay or are you a cosplay photographer? Then I would like to showcase your work in an upcoming edition of Cosplay Friday! It’s easy to submit your work to me: You can get photos to me by leaving links to your portfolio in the comments, by sending images to me on Twitter, by tagging or mentioning me on Instagram, or emailing me at alratcliffe at yahoo dot com.
