Danborian: The Cardboard Cosplay Festival Parade 2018
The contest was organized by the Aomori prefectural government and local cardboard art aficionados. One entry was @mtan78’s shiny Mechagodzilla suit, one of the most detailed and impressive costumes I’ve ever seen out of cardboard. The rotating hand mechanism and mobility in the suit, which @mtan78 says is difficult to pull off, set it apart from other costumes. @mtan78 posted the video saying that he intends to make up for a previous iteration that didn’t go as well.. I think he succeeded.

Head Rotation
I’m not sure how he was able to get the head to spin, but it looks great!
Hand Rotation
As with the head I’m not exactly sure how he is able to get the hand to spin but I have seen other cosplayers use hand held mini drills to do it. I’d bet that’s exactly how he does it.
Jaw Movement
Again, not sure exactly how he gets the jaw to move, but I plan on trying to contact him for more information.
