SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS !<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n

Combining “Cosplay<\/span><\/strong>” and “profession<\/span><\/strong>“, \u03a4he Partyheroes<\/span><\/strong> brings with their unique themed children’s parties<\/span><\/strong> in Athens<\/span><\/strong>, Greece, the children’s favorite heroes to their home! Their theme, Marvel, DC, Disney and videogames heroes<\/span><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Starting its activities in 2013<\/span><\/strong> , it emphasizes detail, quality and fidelity, while incorporating the special kinesiology of each hero in its repertoire! However, it’s not limited only to the professional faithful embodiment of the characters<\/span><\/strong>, but also includes philanthropic work<\/span><\/strong> among  its activities, which started earlier, before the official establishment of the team! Since 2011<\/span><\/strong>, the team’s founder collaborates voluntarily with Make-a-Wish Greece<\/strong><\/a> until today, for the fulfillment of children’s wishes<\/span><\/strong>, while his appearance in multiple magazines and articles as a Cosplayer<\/span><\/strong> is something commonplace!<\/p>\n

Let’s talk with Stavros “Spidey Svr” Vlahakis<\/span><\/strong>, founder of The Partyheroes<\/span><\/strong>, about everything around the team!<\/p>\n

BRINGING HEROES TO LIFE AT YOUR HOME !<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

1) Tell us a few words about your team! What do we need to know about you? How many and which members does it include? <\/strong>What led to the formation of your team?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The Partyheroes<\/span><\/strong> team was formed around 8 years ago, with the aim of staffing a set of heroes and characters who would be able to offer joy, fun and entertainment in general to our little friends through a set of performances, as realistic as possible.<\/p>\n
An important motivation for anyone who participated or is participating in the team is the creation of beautiful photographic and video material, through which a cosplayer or a number of cosplayers expresses themselves.<\/p>\n
Our main character is my favorite, Spider-Man, with whom the whole idea came to be, with other characters being added along the way. So we reached the point of including characters – cosplayers like Wonder Woman, Lara Croft, Supergirl, Black Cat, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, Power Ranger ( Red ), Aladdin, Jasmine, Belle, Pocahontas and Snow White. The other characters ( besides Spidey ) are being embodied by friends of mine for the needs of a photoshoot or appearance, who got to know about activities and art of cosplay thanks to me and really got to feel the strong emotions it creates in you.<\/p>\n

2) <\/strong>When and how did you get started with Cosplay and what got you into it?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved Spider-Man and dreamed of being able to make my own costume one day that would be realistic and not a carnival costume. So, shortly after high school, I started experimenting with fabric printing with sublimation inks, with puff paint and trying to sew the uniform correctly basing it on myself. Fortunately, I had an experienced theatrical costume designer besides me for many years, who helped me a lot during my first steps and who was eagerly by my side. So, I made my first two suits entirely, reaching a pretty satisfying result. In the years that followed, especially for my favorite hero, it was easier to buy a costume by that time and process it and adjust different areas on you, so that the result would represent you.<\/p>\n

3) <\/strong>What kind of characters, sources or types of Cosplays do you choose for your Cosplays? Are these choices based on personal interests, and if so, when did you start getting interested in them <\/strong>before the team’s formation?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
93% of the characters I’ve done are Spider-Man and his various versions depending on the movies that were shown on cinema. I’m not a cosplayer who does a lot of characters. I belong to the category of those who have identified themselves with a certain character and deal with his best possible roleplaying. I admire and observe all cosplayers who have a huge number of costumes in their portfolio and continue to work tirelessly to build new ones with passion and dedication.<\/p>\n

4) <\/strong>Which of your characters do you think are the most popular? Which characters do you want to do in the future?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I don’t know whenever one of my appearances as my favorite character is popular, but the thing I want to say ( something that many people know ) is that if you love what you do and get into its role, it will be popular first of all inside your soul and that will be visible to others too. As for the future \u2026 hmm \u2026 I’m generally touched by superheroes, so I would say that now that we’re growing up slowly, Batman would be a nice challenge. But the spider’s venom is still flowing inside me, so it’s too early \u2026<\/p>\n

5) <\/strong>How much effort, time and money does it usually take to create a Cosplay? What is the most common plan and methods you use to create a Cosplay? <\/strong>What do you think about ready-made Cosplays? Are they part of your ensemble as well?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
As I mentioned above, to capture the essence of my favorite hero, a ready-made cosplay is inevitable, of course with the appropriate adaptations made to face shells, lenses, shoes, web shooters, etc. In the beginning, my most difficult experience was creating the Amazing Spider-Man’s costume from the first movie, which took 6 months of puff painting the whole costume. Due to our team though, I’ve made costumes of other characters that were worn either by me ( Peter Pan, Aladdin ) or by my friends and which were full custom handmade like Supergirl, Tinker Bell, Lara Croft, Black Cat and Jasmine.<\/p>\n
In terms of money, I think it’s a tale you shouldn’t touch. If you enter the dance you’ll have to dance and you’ll give out more than you expected. But since you like it, you get it back through the result and emotions. The procedure? Fabrics, fabrics, fabrics … sewing, props etc.<\/p>\n

6) <\/strong>You offer your services upon payment where requested. What themes and what kind of events do you usually deal with? <\/strong>Do you consider your involvement with Cosplay a hobby or something more serious? How does that define the way you present your work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Children’s parties are something very creative and fun for us. Whenever we make an appearance, we tend to provide services of a high standard that focus on performance, creative work and the pleasant mood at the party. The truth is that due to my other activities, namely the maintenance of my creative office but also the training of beach volleyball athletes, I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I would like to cosplay. In the past I used to do it easier. Now I do it as much as I can, so that it fulfills me and keeps my childhood alive inside me. Of course this happens to please our little friends a lot of times too and so I fulfills me twice as much. I never forget that as a child I also had the same dream. To meet one of my favorite heroes \u2026<\/p>\n
I want my work to be presented in the most realistic way possible, with digital material that “speaks for itself” \u2026 I avoid presenting something that’s on my mind quickly and casually.<\/p>\n

7) <\/strong>You have collaborated several times with Make-A-Wish Greece for the fulfillment of children’s wishes. Tell us about these cases. How did they come about? What is the response you receive from the children you visit?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Make-A-Wish Greece<\/strong><\/a> acts for me as a family. That’s how the the organisation works in general. I was invited to join them during my first steps and since then I have developed a unique relationship with them. Should I mention the purpose, the work, the people, their energy, their disposition? I’ve been working with them voluntarily for over 10 years and I can say that it’s one of the best experiences of my life. First of all, because with this contribution on your side you give great joy to children who really need it, while at the same time you realize what a “problem” means, what a smile’s meaning is, what the value of a teddy bear inside a hug is and how much power a child can have while living the same life we do being weak at simple things in every day life. Once a child has wished to meet Spider-Man, there is no greater responsibility than to make it happen as realistic and magical as possible!<\/p>\n
