Sep 23 2010Damn Ripley, You Handsome!: Impressive Aliens Power Loader Mecha Costume
Joking, I know it's not Ripley. It's Jake Sully, except standing. Huh? SHUT UP I KNOW MY SIGOURNEY WEAVER ALIEN MOVIE FRANCHISES, OKAY? Was she in Cocoon? No -- that was the diabeetis guy? Oh.
Alex on Instructables spent a mere $225 creating this costume of a power loader from Aliens.
Materials included foam boards, a racing harness, a revolving amber light, PVC pipe, spray paint, hoses, cables, wires, and a hot glue gun.
Good lookin', Alex. I mean it -- you look great in those jeans. But I bet you'd look even better out of them. Just kidding, please keep them on. Okay well you could at least undo your belt a couple notches.
Hit the jump for a video demonstration of the costume in awkward-walking action (with bonus alien queen statue!).

Thanks to Gary, who doesn't need a power loader to f*** up an alien queen, just a wheelbarrow full of explosives.

Is it already time to start on Halloween costumes.

...some 25 plus years overdue, now all that is needed are guerilla staging events in which an empty loader can be gawked at by random people passing by (i.e. right outside a church on sunday, in a bar, etc.)...

2-the trailer for the indian robot film
3- the backpack with LED's that do emoticons and turn signals and stuff

@ 6- Sad, Mr.Tea? really? this guy has made a replica of a power loader. I'd say he has a career ahead of him in special effects, engineering, if he isn't already on the way.

I didn't know the cat was in the second movie, too. Jonesy got fat...and black. Or Jonesy is a dog now, I couldn't tell. Watch at 55 seconds in.
