What is a good costume for someone 6'-6" tall, 225#

as has already been said .. predator.. friend of mine on the hunterslair is 6"6 normal. when he dawns the wolf suit its impressive to see the size of it altogether..
 
If you want to go really big, and ambitious, you should do a Terran Marine/Tychus Findlay from Starcraft II. You get a pretty good look at him and the armor in the opening movie/trailer for the game and from the looks of things in the game I'd say that he's pushing 7' in his armor. It would be a pretty ambitious build because he's sort of like Buzz Lightyear on steroids and the armor has a lot more detail.

I'm 6'4" and have done several costumes. My fav has been Hellboy but I think most costumes for prominent characters look better and more intimidating with height.
 
I hate when i see someone short in a predator costume.. Its just all wrong. Preds are all tall!. If your 6'6" that's a great start.. The feet will add 2 inches maybe more if you want.. The head will add 3 inches maybe more. That puts us at 7' maybe a touch over tall.. Kevin Peter Hall was 7' 5" in the suit.

Saw someone already said this and don't know how to delete a post.

Sorry

The Mega Man fan in me says one of the Hunter Commanders, like Sigma or Signas, although, to be honest, Sigma ends up somewhere over seven feet, last I remember.

Past that, I would say that it really depends on the genre that you're going for: if you want it to be someone from a cartoon, a movie, a comic series, etc., although the sheer number of posts prior to mine bring up several good suggestions.

Honestly, I'll admit that people that are over 6' usually bring to mind either the muscle-bound fighters from some of the classic side-scrolling fighter games or someone dressed up in a mech suit. That, of course, can vary from Transformers and Voltron (I saw someone post that) to the various mech suits that exist, such as those from Gundam or Evangelion.

o_O or one of the Amalgams from Blassreiter, if you're familiar with that anime.

Just a couple of suggestions.

When people suggest "Juggernaut" I think of the one from 13 Ghosts.
Big AND Dead, lethal combination!
 
I'd look at what films you really like first of all. There's loads of costumes you could do, but if you're spending loads of money it may as well be on something you think "I'd love to be able to be X" :)

What films are you into?
