DIY Rocketeer Jetpack

DIY Rocketeer Jetpack

Prop maker David Guyton shares his favorite build yet: a steel replica of the Cirrus X-3 jetpack from The Rocketeer. It’s definitely not for beginners and takes a lot of time to build, but if you’re up to it keep an eye on his store for the free template.

Adam Savage: Chewie & 3PO

Adam Savage: Chewie & 3PO

Adam Savage likes to go to conventions undercover. For Silicon Valley Comic Con, he dressed as Chewbacca, complete with an awesomely annoying C-3PO strapped to his back. We also learned that Chewie must go through an awful lot of hairspray.

Halloween might be several months away, but it’s never too early to start shopping for your next awesome costume idea. These freaky looking handmade masks from Bird Art Bulgaria should do the trick just fine. There’s some awesomely weird stuff here, folks.

Working Robocop ED-209 Costume

Working Robocop ED-209 Costume

For their scene in the feature-length Robocop remake, Ghostlight built this fantastic replica of the villanous, but flawed ED-209 robot from the original Robocop. But instead of just being a static mockup or a scale model, this one is full size, and can be walked in by a puppeteer.

Puppy Power Loader

Puppy Power Loader

Get away from her, you bitch! takes on a new territorial kind of meaning with this hilarious build by prop and costume artists Frank Ippolito and Bill Doran. Their awesome doggy version of the power loader that Ripley donned in Aliens was crafted mostly from lightweight foam.

Life-Size Chew Toy

Life-Size Chew Toy

Jolene the golden retriever loves to play with her fuzzy green Gumby toy, so what better way to make her day than for her human to dress up as a giant-size version of her favorite toy. Her first reaction is one of disbelief, but quickly turns to utter bliss.

Kid Luke & Tauntaun Costume

Kid Luke & Tauntaun Costume

Motorcycle artist Clint Case spent “4 months, 100 glue sticks, 2 yards of fur, and 1 goat mask” to bless his son with one of the best combo costumes available. The well made fake Luke legs do a good job of selling the illusion.

Adam Savage Incognito: Totoro

Adam Savage Incognito: Totoro

As we already know, Adam Savage loves to dress up in complicated costumes and walk around conventions to see if he can avoid being identified. For NYCC 2016, he dressed as the delightfully rotund Totoro. We love how he squeezed through that doorway at 4:45.

Dragon Con 2016 Cosplay
