In July 2024, a new Krystal cosplayer appeared on the scene along with a Fox cosplayer. You can see our previous coverage here, here, and here. We were able to contact each other and in August 2024, the cosplay duo known as Tom_MJcosplay were gracious enough to let me interview them about their experience cosplaying at Montreal ComiCon 2024 as well as their future plans. Life got in the way, but I'm making it right by posting what I know now. I don't have a lot of new info, but it's worth sharing.

They are a cosplaying couple living in Canada. Marie-Dauphin Cosplay (the Krystal cosplayer) does not speak English (primarily speaks French) and so her husband (the Fox cosplayer) had to translate for me during the interview.

They went into more detail on the staff, which is quite effective for how simple its construction was. It was literally made of 3 children's lightsabers taped together and covered in patterned foil. They used a standard LED light strip up the shaft for the light, and they used cellophane and wax paper as a diffuser. The 3D parts of the cosplay were built in Shaper 3D on an iPad (I think), and then they used a standard 3D printer to make the parts.

They showed me the Krystal head, which uses the standard system for making fursuit heads have a movable mouth.

I found out that the reason their skit was cut short because the con had imposed a hard limit of 1 minute for skits and their's was longer than that. They had hoped to do the skit fully at another con after that, only to find out that the new con's skit time limit was only 45 seconds. They would like to record the skit themselves out in the wilderness at some point in 2025.

They are working on revamps of their costumes, and are planning Star Fox Assault inspired cosplays.

They plan to attend more cons in 2025 dressed as Fox and Krystal.

• They are attending RouynCon as special guests in July 2025.
• They will be at AnimeNorth in Toronto for the masquerade in May.
• Then it's ComicCon in Montreal in July.
• The next one they plan to go to is the New York ComicCon in October.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to talk to me. Once again, I'm sorry it took me so long to post about what you told me. We all look forward to your cosplay exploits in 2025!

Update:
When the story was initially posted, I mentioned that Tom_MJcosplay were a married couple. They are not married yet, but they are a couple. My mistake! I also updated the list of upcoming cons they plan to attend to include three additional ones besides RouynCon. Finally, I added details about their plans to make new Star Fox Assault inspired costumes and finally record their skit properly in 2025. Thanks for the updated info, Tommy!
