France Five

Malaysian Fan

WOW!

For a private production, you guys sure did an awesome job! I'm very impressed! Some of your fight scenes are so sentai-inspired -- you can actually mistake them for Toei's! Keep up the good work and exploit the greater room for improvement!

By the way, I would love to have a copy of the suit(s). Can the team tell me how to get it/them? I can afford to add one of those shiny costumes to my cosplay collection!

or

would be great.

Get back to me soon, guys! Real soon....

Thank you for the kind words ! Chouette

About the suits, well, they're custom made and we are using them right now for episode 5. I don't think they will be for sale.

Thank you for the accelerated response, Administrator Red Fromage! Super content

Well, then, how much would I have to give for a duplicate of the

or

costume? Can F5's production team get the supplier to make another? I'm pretty insistent on this, because not many people in Malaysia have seen this privately-produced Sentai show, so the appearance of the ranger costume at a cosplay event will definitely plonk the wearer in the limelight! Chouette

Please get back to me soon, alright? Thanks!

Well, you know...

France Five isn't such a huge production that we can do easily more of our props and costumes.

It is a huge undertaking for us, as we are amateurs and all work on the side, and are also filming the latest and last episode at this moment, which requires every part of our attention and more.

Besides, I don't think we would make duplicates of our stuff even if we could. We don't really need / want money with F5, also.

So I'm afraid we can't really do what you are asking of us, sorry. Clin d'oeil

Alright, then, Red Fromage! Chouette

I understand the limitations.

I'm surprised your work is not-for-profit; but then again, the episodes are offered free-of-charge over the Internet, which is amazing......

Funny how far passion can take you...... Clin d'oeil

Pucker up and make F5 Ep05 better than Power Rangers (at least the storyline, 'cos I wouldn't argue over the special FX)!!!

I noticed that many people would like to have a F5 suit.

Red, if the patterns exist, why don't you add them to the goods on the website? Or even a walkthrough "F5 suit: Do it yourself"? If it does not need too much time, though... Pff...

But maybe you just don't want to find some F5 copies and spin-offs around the web... And I have to say this possibility is a good reason for not releasing patterns on the site. Clin d'oeil

Well, honestly, costumes aren't that complex. I think, for what I understood so far, that they're a simple bodysuit, aka the basic level of sewing for clothes.

Then you have the fabric choice, the gloves and boots, the decorating of the suit... But that's another story. Clin d'oeil

Well making the france five costumes is the easy part, the only flaw of the costume is "what are you going to do about the Helmet ? Chouette

for a example there's no way in hell you make a Motorcycle Helmet look like a "DekaRed" helmet (Dekaranger) !
