Tangled’s Flynn Rider with a Kingdom Hearts Keyblade
I like when cosplayers add little twists to their costumes, which is what Redditor colorway_caster has done with his Flynn Rider costume from Tangled. He adapted the look from the animated film but added a Kingdom Hearts style keyblade, complete with a glowing lantern. The designs of the various keyblades represent one of the best aspects of the game. He made the key blade using foam wall insulation:
You can make one yourself! I used foam wall insulation, cut about 4 equal parts, semi-hollowed out 2 of them for a dowel rod, glued all those bitches together and then carved them down! The rest is all just paint and fluff.
