This ‘Sandman’ Helm of Office Cosplay Prop is Dreamy

SKS Props is back again with another expert-level cosplay prop build from Netflix’s The Sandman.

SKS Props has an informative channel for cosplay prop builds. Not only does creator Steven K Smith create gorgeous props that are commissioned by companies around the world… He also has a line of foam construction materials to help others build their best cosplays! This week we’re diving into the world of the Dreaming with this build of Lord Morpheus’s Helm of Office from Netflix’s new show The Sandman.

One Helm to Rule Them All (In Sleep)

The long-awaited debut The Sandman is finally upon us. Fans of the iconic graphic novel series by Neil Gaiman that focuses on Dream and the Endless have been salivating over the upcoming show for months. In the days since the show’s release, it is blowing expectations out of the water. I’m not the only one rushing to the online forums to see who is building cosplays from the show.

Bringing Dream’s Helm to Life

With Dream of the Endless, aka Lord Morpheus as the central character from the show, it’s unsurprising that his Helm is the first build for many cosplayers. His Helm of Office is gorgeous, slightly creepy, and completely different from anything we’re used to seeing. There are a variety of build methods and materials that can be used to create such a helm. Today we’re taking a look at SKS Props build of The Sandman’s Helm.

The Right Materials For the Job

SKS Props provides pdf files for their cosplay build templates. You can find them here on the SKS Props website. They also have a line of foam clay, dowels, and other materials that are available for purchase online. You can find their line of cosplay products here!
