Dec 7 2009But I Can't Sit Still: Plastic Army Man Cosplay

I've seen plastic Army men cosplay before (I'm a freak like that), but this guy takes the cake -- not only for having a base but, yeah, mostly for having a base. I'd still knock him over with a speeding checker though.
Move over, hot chicks: this cosplay's about to blow you out of the water [japanator]
Thanks to Clint, who used to have checker wars until his fingers bled and ribs were bruised from lying on the foyer floor all day.

will he still melt with a giant magnifying glass?
3. naas - December 7, 2009 1:14 PM
...he should bend the tip of the gun down a little bit, all my army men shot lower because of my standar... because I used to chew on them

I used to chew on naas' army men after he did. It was almost like making out.

how does he move from one place to another? does he hop along or what lol. i'd like to see that.
6. Hayley - December 7, 2009 1:18 PM
@ 5. I assume he doesn't move. Being that that's the point and all. Just sayin.
7. naas - December 7, 2009 1:18 PM
@4 can be such a tease sometimes
@5 Kenia dig it?
8. Closet Nerd - December 7, 2009 1:20 PM
Good costume, but he could still use that 'ring of plastic' that was always on the helmets, from where they broke off of the molding strip.... just sayin
(I don't know why 'just sayin' isn't getting old, just can't resist typing it.............. just sayin)

okay now where are the little tan ones i mean those are the greens enemy's right? Shouldn't they be trying to kill eachother?
10. Closet Nerd - December 7, 2009 1:22 PM
@5 That reminds me of Eddie Izzard when he does his little bit on why you never see "Ski Patrol" guys on snowboards.... just sayin

@9 you may have noticed that tan and uniquely textured ground....I've melted them with my mighty giant magnifying glass....bwahahhahahaha!!!

14. Kyster - December 7, 2009 1:28 PM
Sweet!
15. I-Kill-Bambi's - December 7, 2009 1:34 PM

Anyone who posts on this page smells like cheese.....including me XD
17. ciao - December 7, 2009 1:45 PM
well killer o' bambies, I would guess that works too. Its also good to use the go-green method o' using the deadly powah o' the sun to greenly melt armies of plastic. >:D
18. STOMPY - December 7, 2009 1:46 PM
Damn, netbook at work and no unsecured wireless anywhere except in the break room. Looks like I'll be a lunch time bandit.
Nice costume though, but I'd probably pick an easier pose to maintain than that one...

I don't know about this guy, but when I was a kid we went to Disneyland shortly after Toy Story had come out, and the costumed Army men there DID have bases, but their feet could pivot on the bases, and the bases were a flexible plastic... Basically, they would walk exactly like they did in the movie.
Wicked costume, though. Props to this guy.

well ciao i think teh most effective way of "murdering" them is to submerge them in bleach for about an hour, it takes longer but in teh long run you get green bleach so that's always a good thing...just sayin
21. Closet Nerd - December 7, 2009 1:51 PM
@18 "easier pose to maintain than that one..."
I don't recall seeing any masturbating army men figurines.... just sayin
22. Ollie Williams - December 7, 2009 1:53 PM
21 made me lol at work.
23. STOMPY - December 7, 2009 1:55 PM
@21
No masterbating army men for you? I guess my parents must have shopped from a different kinda toy store for me.... I guess thats why all my toys growing up smelled like it had been shoved in someone's arse.... by the way I heard that the language filter is back off, is that true?
24. Pew³ - December 7, 2009 2:00 PM
fuck no.
25. Amaranth - December 7, 2009 2:02 PM

27. naas - December 7, 2009 2:06 PM

30. Crazywow - December 7, 2009 2:29 PM
He wasn't attached to the base and would walk around, then drop it and strike poses for photo ops...special photo ops!
31. Closet Nerd - December 7, 2009 2:42 PM
@ 27 & STOMPY
"Snackmachine Ninja" (LOVE IT) should be STOMPY's new handle.....
just sayin
32. Robofetus5000 - December 7, 2009 2:55 PM
Since when did everything become "cosplay"? "dude in army man costume" seems perfectly appropriate.
33. bonzo420 - December 7, 2009 3:01 PM

35. naas - December 7, 2009 6:09 PM
@31 snackmachine ninjas are badass, I bet STOMPY can do cafeteria backflips on command
36. Darkness - December 7, 2009 7:05 PM
Woot.
37. LC - December 8, 2009 5:11 AM
Amazing costume, but I hate the term "cosplay". It makes me think of retarded weeaboos and goofy Nips.
38. Cypher - December 8, 2009 6:29 AM
Amazing yes... but also very very old! This has been about for ages! ive seen better too, like a load of guys dressed up in green and some brown doing battle scenes.
@5 the base is not attached, he walks about, chucks it down and then gets into a pose.
39. Cypher - December 8, 2009 6:37 AM
Actually this is still annoying me it made Geekologie news... this is not news worthy!!! Its been done hundreds of times and hundreds times better, and in mass!! With bent / broken weapons too....!!!

@ 39
Um.....you do realize that Geekologie is NOT a news blog right? I have never seen this and I think it's pretty cool......so......yeah........
41. Melonie - December 8, 2009 10:39 AM
