The ultimate hallowe'en costumes

[lars573]

I saw this guy on "It came from the basement!!" He makes figures (transformers mostly) and costumes. Like a borg suit, a dragon.

But he also made Transformer costumes that actually Transform! But not while your wearing it.

Like Sunstreak

Hod Rod

And Starscream

 

[lars573]

He also made himself a trailer for the MP Optimus Prime

With all the intirior details

And a pure Megatron to go with the Optimus Prime

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

those are pretty cool and i'm impressed. but i wouldn't want to wear those things around, they look obtrusive and heavy. and somehow i can really see how a hobby like that would drive the women away.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Oh damn, thats pretty cool.

Lovin' the Starscream. My fav of the Transformers.

 

[lars573]

Well "It came from the basement!!" segment on Space profiles peoples collections of Sci-fi/superhero memorabelia. They always have one fmaily guys with basements full of stuff. Like this guy in his 50's iwth a wife and kids who owns every (and I mean every) Marvel action figure made since the 70's. He has old ass Mego's with cloth outfits, right down to complete sets of ML's.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Dizzam. Thats crazy. I thought I was bad with my meager amount of figures.

 

[lars573]

Yeah his figure room in his basement had the walls all with shelfs 2 foot deep, and at least 4 levels. Stuffed with Marvel figs. Grouped by team and character. He even made himself a Shaman fig to complete his Alpha Flight team.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Sweet. Nothin like the customizers.

 

[lars573]

Well as he told the segment interviewer. Customizing is a natural out growth of fig collecting. t: And since they will never make a fig of some characters (like Shaman) and you want a whole team. You get the modelling knife the putty and paint and make your own.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Very true. Thats why I decided to make some figures for myself aswell (even though for the most part they are still in the making )

 

[Kable24]

Those are pretty cool.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

And I like how he made a trailer for the MP Optimus. Thats gotta be a big ass trailer.

 

[lars573]

Well in like november they are re-releasing the MP Prime with a trailer.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Is that the movie annivrsary one??

 

[lars573]

Yeah they are re-releeasing MP Prime to co inside with the new wide screen 20th anniversary DVD of the '86 movie. Along with an Ultra magnus varaint (Prime painted white). Plus the MP Starscream. Who has a head with changable facial expressions. Goes from relatively blank to his trade mark smrik.

Now that I have to get!

Pics of MP Starscream!

I don't care how much I drop i'm sooooo getting this Starscream and Complete Prime (that's with his trailer)

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

That Starscream is badass but i wish he was closer to the classic colors. Badass nonetheless. I just can't afford it.

 

[lars573]

For you the choice is family eats or Starsream. I'm not troubled by that choice.

EDIT/ And the worst part is that they can just re-colour that model to get Thundercracker, Skywarp, Classic Screamer, and Sunspot.
