Price: US$850

This is an $850 Ghostbuster Proton Pack replica from Viking Props (which, despite the name, sells zero horned helmets or Thor hammers). It's pretty accurate, and even has some light up effects. Even more light effects and some sound ones are available too, but at an extra cost.

Check out this thread documenting the construction of this armor. Also check out his blog, which features a photo gallery of the completed project.  Nowhere, however, does it explain how he opens the thing up to take a pee.

Video: Realm of LARP


The Journey Begins: Realm of LARP

“Geeks are people who are just…really passionate about things.”

LARPing – that is, Live Action Role Playing – is one of those things that once you’re engaged in it, you can quite safely claim epic geek status. There’s an awesome LARP group near me that I’ve been meaning to join and haven’t had the time. This show only urges me to go forth and conquer!
Nerdist Channel have created a rather professional-looking web reality series that closely follows a group of people engaged in a LARP quest. They each have varying experience in LARPing, have characters of differing intelligence and most of all are having so, so much fun.

When you went up to her and her parents and you asked if you could take a picture she would stand up straight, and slowly bring her hands up and cover her eyes. After you were done with the pictures she’d lower her hands and just SMILE so big.

Omg it was the cutest thing ever!!!

My latest version of my Anya costume! I am so much happier with the new changes! I love this costume so much I doubt I'll ever stop making improvements on it. The costume was a long process but one that I'd dreamt of making since artwork of the character was first revealed! Having worked on the game only made it that much more special.

Flemeth


Flemeth (from Dragon Age 2) by AmazonMandy

"I did my first version based on the concept art. Now that the game is out, I added and changed up a lot on her. Belts, armor details, makeup, pants, made the headpiece fit better, etc etc. Oh, yes, I used the staff in a few pictures of the game version of this, even though it's really only shown in the concept art and not the game. And that's because I loved that staff, and felt like it!

Oh Flemeth...she's the hottest murderous old dragon bitch out there. I love her so much."
