FREEZE!

you gotta work out some sort of ventilation for that dome! lol
like put a few vent slats in the neck part that can be covered over with that nylon material and add a little electric fan or something so that you don't wind up dead

but either way i love it!

Thanks everyone! I think being mistaken for an action figure is about the highest compliment I could receive.

I got the helmet from this guy on eBay (after spending a few weeks contacting every acrylic manufacturer I could find). I had him modify it so it was 14.5" high. It does have a little ventilation from under the collar in the front and back but it was still pretty hot in there. If I do wear it again I may try to add the Oxygen tank but I definitly need to look into a bald cap. I shaved my head for the first time to pull this off and it is not a good look for me.

I really like this costume a lot. The simplicity in it makes it awesome.

Yes, you do look like an action figure grown to 1:1 scale and it's a great compliment.

A bald cap is going to be hotter than shaving. I'd look into hiding some fans to draw out the warm air, or just to get things circulating.

That is really nice, It does look simplistic in its design. but I know it wasn't. you could always have ice packs in a fake oxygen tank circulating air around the dome and back out. Sort of like a swamp cooler.

As others have already said...

That's awesome!

 

[Lord DarkFinger]

Fantastic Job!!! That is what you call a perfect fit.

 

[gumdrop331]

Wow, I am thoroughly impressed. I, too, was confused at first as to why an action figure was in the replica costume forum until I figured it out. Great job!

 

[nick daring]

Awesome work! Always wanted to see this costume done well in real life. Love the design.

 

[Valdez]

DANG! I thought it was an action figure at first!:lol

What he said. Awesome

I'd like to make a cold gun, do you have a diagram or tutorial on to make one?

Iv drawn a few guns from the series.

Some red LEDs in those goggles would top it off nicely.

Man that costume rocks...

I hope you contacted the ebay seller and sent him a pic of how you used his product.

Now this is a thing of beauty! Love the Freeze-gun. Looks perfect!

 

[Laamberry]

Oh wow, it's so smooth and neat. Great work man.

 

[paulv70]

Thanks guys! Laban a.k.a. Fishybob made the Freeze gun for me. You might want to contact him. I look at these pics and I'm glad I did it. Still a lot of things I would've like to have added like the oxygen tank, red led's in the goggles, blue in the helmet, a silver chest, shoulder rings, etc. I was even thinking of doing some kind of effect with dry ice. Maybe I'll the ice man will return again one day.

That was awesome. I figured this was a display mannequin and was with the rest wondering how you posed him with the fingers bent to hold the helmet. Then I had the "Holy Carp!" moment.

Shaving your head for the cause? For that result, totally worth it!
