Overview
A quick how to guide for cosplaying as Postal Dude. Its something I’ve been mulling over for the past couple of years, but unfortunately with my situation, I wont be able to actually do so for a couple years. So I figured rather than let this info go to waste, I’d make it into a guide. This is a great time to do so too with all the attention Postal 2 has been getting lately. Its one of my favorite games of all time Im really happy to see it getting the attention it deserves rather than fading into nothingness after what happened with Postal 3.
Essential Items
A Brown Trench Coat (Old and used is better)
Blue Alien Head tshirt (You can just google “Blue Alien head Tshirt” However, I would recommend ordering a custom one to really do it justice. [I’ll edit this part when Im finished making the graphic for it]
Smiley pin
Cross pin
Black Sunglasses
Navy blue jeans (Again, old and used is better. Try to avoid holes though)
Black Boots
A can of red hair spray paint for postal dude’s unique REALLY dark red hair color
Your hair needs to be the long enough to appear unmanaged, but not too long
Of course you need his goatee as well
I wouldnt really reccomend going a week without showering to smell the part, but if you would like to, more power to you
Props: Not essential but fun
A PROP M16, Desert Eagle or SPAS-12* (Seriously. They have to be props. Dont be that dumbass who brings ACTUAL weapons to a convention.)
A petition to make whiny congressmen play violent video games
A FAKE carton of milk (I really shouldnt have to explain why it needs to be fake)
Several friends dressed as RWS Employees follow you around (RWS t-shirts can be found on their site [link]
A prop scythe*
A spade shovel*
A prop grenade to put in your mouth when people want to take pictures with you*
A large black cardboard circle that says “CENSORED” with a way to put over your crotch
*Some conventions ban prop weapons, so be sure to check your conventions rules before brining it.
(Pretty much any prop weapons will work)
Acting the part
Always have a smirk on your face
One liners are fun
“Dont be a ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥.” be in charecter but dont take it too far. Follow convention rules and dont be mean. It seems contridictory, but the point is to have fun, not to act like an ass to people.
Ask people to sign your petition and get as many signitures as possible (Be sure to bring extra copies)
If you happen to see an actual RWS employee, try to get a picture with them. Bonus points if they have a booth at the convention you are attending.
