Title: REAL LIFE Metroid - Power Suit, Metroid Hatchling+
Post by: Platinumfungi on 06/07/2012, 10:51 PM
So lately I've been taking a break from working on video game systems, to work on video game themed props and costumes for Youtube videos. Currently I've been dealing with some Metroid props and thought I'd share a few teaser photos. Let me know what you all think!

- I made the helmet, did all the LED lighting, repainted parts of the suit, created the Metroid hatchling, and created the Metroid egg. To see all my projects, updates, and more info, please check out my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Platinumfungi

- A very talented Cosplayer named Kelly Johnson created the Power Suit (sans helmet and LED lighting). She's the one wearing the suit.

- This is all being created for a short Youtube fan video by the group "mikeNgary": https://www.youtube.com/user/mikengar...e=results_m...

- When the video is released, I'll post again with an update  8)

Thanks for the compliments everyone  :D I've put a lot of hours of work into these, so I'm happy to see that others appreciate them!

To answer some of the questions:

Given the time and money, I can make pretty much anything. PM me if you're serious.

I actually laughed out loud at that. A Bayou Billy outfit would be awesome. I better see some photos of you next Halloween as BB or I'll be disappointed.

Oh they're delicious I assure you... As long as you like to eat polymer clay that is. For whatever reason Metroids always have three of those little brains in there, so that's how many I made.

I'm trying to determine something NEC to create that would actually get some attention/that lots of fans would like. Bonk immediately comes to mind...anybody have any thoughts?

Oh they'll be here! It will be a few days still as I have to get the images from one of the other guys on the team. I'll post them here as soon as I can.

Any other questions, just ask!

The robot from Keith Courage would be pretty cool, but only NEC fans would probably know who it is. 

Bomberman? 

Howabout an anthropomorphic PC Engine? :mrgreen:

Hmm... the robot from Keith Courage would be fun, but as you said I think a lot of people wouldn't get it. Bomberman would be cool, but a lot of people have already done that and done it well.

A PC Engine system would be doable, but a little more comedic than what I think I'd like.

Here are my thoughts at the moment - popular games that I love that I haven't seen good recreations of:

- Bonk
- Lords of Thunder
- Splatterhouse

Thoughts?

Very VERY cool! I hope your Samus model was born with about 300 extra joints so when she morphs into a ball it doesn't kill her.  :P Seriously though, are you making a morph ball prop? You could probably easily get it to roll by putting a remote control car inside it. They made a car that can flip upside down while continuing to drive.

Lords would be awesome!

My vote would be for the alpha suit, Splatter house would be super easy and Bonk could be confused with any other caveman. A friend and I we're thinking about making an Isaac Clark and Necromorph costume for halloween this year.
