Re: WIP: Foam Hulkbuster for my 7yr old - Additional Work
Totally understand about kids not wanting to wear the full suits. The way I have always thought about my kid costume builds (even for my first Iron Man for the 5yr old), is that the building process is TOTALLY for me. I love learning and building these. I feel like it's a bonus if they love wearing them as much as I loved making them!

On Saturday, we hit our local Marble City Mini-Comicon event! Jakim competed in the Intermediate category rather than with the kids as there were a lot of cute smaller kids at the event and he wanted to let one of them win that category. So even with adult competition, Jakim won the Intermediate top prize and was thrilled!
Best of all we got to meet his rival...
We had some photography done with the two of these costumes, so when I get those back I'll post them.
We also ran into some folks from Adventure Time!

Then on Sunday, we hit our city-wide Halloween event downtown. Thousands of kids were there and some GREAT unique costumes (include a fish aquarium and awesome Doc Octopus). Jakim was THRILLED to win the top prize!
One of the things in the prize package was tickets to Disney on Ice, which he will be attending with his little sister this week!
Overall a VERY fun weekend!
