Cosplay, at least in Britain, is notoriously lame. Loads of gothic dolls and cardboard uniforms, but at least one American knows how to do cosplay right. You might have already seen this in photo form, but this is what cosplay costumes should all be like — awesome moving replicas of the Iron Man suit that we can only lust after.
Ever since I saw Robert Downey Jr in the original Iron Man film I’ve longed for the super-suit to be real. Of course that’s never going to happen, or at least if it does I won’t be able to afford one, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dream, right? [YouTube via Kotaku]
The Avengers Trailer Is Full of Explosions and Iron Man and Awesome
If You Were Iron Man, This Is How You Would Suit Up
What If Tony Stark Designed His Iron Man Suit in MacPaint?
Awesomely impressive!!
I don’t really get what Coplay is, to me it just seems to be dressing up like video games. But that is pretty cool, it takes skill to build that, so I’m impressed.
It would appear that you do get what cosplay is.
Whooo, am I cool now? When do I get my cool dude membership card?
It pretty much is that, dressing up as game characters, tv show characters, anime characters or other well known people real or fictional.
I often dress up as an extra in Emmerdale, does that count as cosplay?
Only if you are dressed like Zach Dingle.
‘That’s not fair….. That’s not fair.’
Love it.
And why the hell couldn’t they have built an actual prop like this for the movies?
Holy crap! I thought the suit looked cool at first, then the helmet closed and the jetpack bit came out, and it went from being cool, to being chest-freezer-containing-liquid-nitrogen-in-middle-of-the-arctic-cool.
Why isn’t this guy being employed by a film company?!?! He’s clearly very talented at prop design.
