All in all, this cosplay took me around 600 hours over the course of about 4 months (from when the finale dropped at the end of May 2019)!

I kept a log journal of what TV shows I watched during the build, and oh boy oh man, it is kind of scary to add it all up and seeing just how many man hours I put into this cosplay. Even scarier was adding up my materials cost!
