There wouldn't be this,
if there hadn't been you.

Dear Valued Customers,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of Costume Replica Cave. I, Vaughan, have made the difficult decision to hang up my hat and close down the business.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we faced several challenges, including delayed orders, the need for rework, and the loss of staff due to lockdowns and personal issues. While we have maintained our high levels of service in terms of the quality of our costumes, our communication and timelines have, at times, fallen short.

As the founder, I hold myself to high standards, and I don't believe we have been performing as well as we should have been. Rather than continuing to limp along and potentially risking the reputation of Costume Replica Cave, I have decided that it is the best course of action to close down the business.

I'm proud that despite our challenges, we've consistently maintained a 4.8 (out of 5) or higher rating, with over 95% of our orders achieving 5-star reviews. While I believe we could have still improved our accuracy, I feel we've done our utmost to deliver exceptional suits and service.

Costume Replica Cave was founded in 2015 when I wanted a Deadpool suit for myself, and the positive response from others led me to offer suits to the public. Since then, we have completed over a thousand orders, and it saddens me to close down before we could fulfill our dreams of creating replica costumes for Deadpool and Wolverine.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our clients, fans, family, and friends for their unwavering support over the years. I would also like to thank my offsider and our dedicated team for their hard work and commitment to our mission. And a special thanks to Rob Liefeld, Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Stefan Kapicic, Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, Ed Skrein, Hugh Jackman, Bill Corso and everyone else who has helped bring Deadpool (and Wolverine) to the big screen.

This decision was not an easy one, but I believe it is the right thing to do for the business and for myself. I appreciate your understanding and support during this transition.

Sincerely, Vaughan Founder and Owner, Costume Replica Cave

Our friends have started their own little 3d printing business called Jimmy's Creations. And we're blown by this octopus bottle holder we bought and just received. 10/10 would buy again.

Jimmy's Creations is Australia based and they can be found on www.jimmyscreations.com

We've been around awhile but this scammer has been around longer. His name (or should I say alias Jim Logan) blew up a few years ago due to his scamming.

He has threatened me personally and used a homophobic slur to try degrade me.

I'm still here, we're still here, but unfortunately he's still out there scamming.

Stay safe people. And do not ever deal with Jim Logan aka David Winant aka Logan Props aka JLfxstudios.

How I got scammed while making Batman Beyond: Year One and uncovered a whole history of scams from Jim Logan Props spanning more than a decade. Cosplayers an...

Looks like we better get working on our Deadpool 3 movie suit replica. I think we can assume, that we'll see multiple suits.

Trial and error is part of the process.

Here are some of our earlier attempts at an accurate Deadpool Movie suit material. The design has continued to involve into what is our Version 3 (V3) screen printed material and suit. Which we hope to launch later this month.

To be clear, these are not our final design. And in the future, there may even be a V4.

As shared in our Facebook Group:

Just a bit of inside info for the members here. Our V3 screen printed suit is almost ready for release.
This suit will include:
- More accurate seams and piping.
- Rubberised armbands and wristbands.
- Updated chest dagger detail.
- A new improved metal buckle design and paint job (sprayed rather than hand painted).
- And what we think will be the most accurate material around.

We'll probably start showing a few sneak peeks soon.

We will also be sending material to ilustrastudios so client can get matching masks made.

Part of being a costume producer is research. Unfortunately not being in the US limits our availability to viewing suits in person. But over the years I've continued to search for references. This includes from the movies, promotional images/videos, items found online and those provided by contacts who have stood in front of suits or know people who have.

These are two images of the screen used DP2 suit taken up close. They show how different the material can look with and without weathering.

We've had a bit of trial and error trying to get this material right. With time came more images and more ideas. We might show some of our trials as we get closer to release.

This material has been a bit of driving force for our V3 screen printed suits. That an of course us trying to improve the overall suit.

Edit: Well.. I just realised I posted this on our business page and not to our little Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1531949526828608

Whoops 😬

So I guess, we just announced we're doing a V3 screen printed suit to everyone.

Colour us happy.

A review done by one of our clients Review Junkies.

If you're looking for a Deadpool suit, this review might help.

recently had a Deadpool costume made by CostumeReplicaCave on Etsy, and I must say, the workmanship and attention to detail are absolutely stunning!

Our wristbands are virtually complete. These have been done with a metal mould. This has been a substantial investment. But it will lead to quality replication and a long run of items.
