Now You're Talking!: A Wicked Mech Costume

As the saying goes, you can take the boy out of Halloween, but you can't take the Halloween candy out of the boy. Without surgery. And you'd still probably miss a jawbreaker. So it may be 362 days till next Halloween, but I figure I'd put up one last tribute to the night I saw Optimus Prime make out with a ninja turtle. This is a kid dressed up in a homemade chicken walker mech costume. It's very well made. Now somebody hit the kid up with some candy for his effort. Seriously, just wing it at him, he's a freaking tank.

Hit the jump for a video of the mech build, a similar AT-AT, and the cutest damn mini Mega Man you've ever seen.

  This is Scott Holden's 14-foot AT-ST Halloween costume. I doubt they're going to let him into the bar wearing it though, so maybe he's going to an outdoor party. Like a Halloween BONFIRE. That would certainly make burning witches easier. Plus at least one Ninja Turtle (I'm ... / Continue →
