So you want to dress up as 2B, the iconic android from NieR:Automata, you’ve got the white wig, the black gothic lolita dress, the eyepatch, the headband and of course those thigh high boots…but if you’re not rocking weapon your costume would be quite incomplete. You can probably pick up a cheap blade, but if you want to go the extra mile, perhaps consider Hibino’s 1/1 replica of the Virtuous Contract.
This roughly 55” replica of 2B’s starter weapon is composed of ABS Resin and Aluminum. When swinging the blade, it can light up, generate slash sound effects and will even occasionally broadcast grunts from 2B. The blade itself has a MSRP of $899.99 (includes shipping and import fees). However if you are looking to display the blade in your home, the company offers a vertical rack which features a LED Light Ring which emulates the weapon in its “holstered” state. This stand will also come with a soft case to ensure that your Virtuous Contract doesn’t get damaged during transport. Finally the company will offer buyers of both a slight discount at the price of $1,199 USD.
Whether you want to show what a dedicated fan of NieR:Automata you are or impress fellow cosplayers at the next big con, do it in style with Hibino’s 1/1 replica of the Virtuous Contract.
