Love it!
But...ummm...How do you walk? Does the waist sit at your knees?

Re: Emmet - LEGO movie - DONE!
The legs come up to my crotch and the belt covers my hips so that I keep that squat look that LEGOs have. They have flip-flops attached at the bottom and are independent of each other and the rest of the suit. Still, since they aren't jointed, I have to do an "old man shuffle" instead of a regular walk.

Wow... what a weekend. To say the costume was a hit would be an understatement. I had no idea how popular it would be and drew a crowd all day. I was in the costume contest and won "Best Craftsmanship".

For the body pieces, I used the foam rolls you can buy at most sporting good stores - it's about 4mm thick. For the hair, I wanted it "thicker" so I used the foam interlocking mats that are 6mm.

Most of the pieces are just foam curved into a cylinder. For the hair, I actually modeled a dome in a 3D program and then unfolded it in Pepakura and freehand the rest.
Looking good! Make sure and leave lots of breathing room in the head. My costume turns into a sauna. I installed a fan in the head.

Really Really cool costume. Love the detail and thank you for showing the work in progress.
Here is what I am interested in making in VERY short order for Planet Comiccon. It is similar but the Kre-O style of mini fig.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do the legs and waist? Compared to the Lego style the upper legs don't have the round hinge instead its a ball joint and the waist/cod piece is wider. Of course the Helmets are going to be the hardest parts.

psugorilla - I actually attached the "waist" for Emmet to the torso. For the ball joint legs, you could still make them a ball and be able to slide the leg in.
