by manny

iron-man-2-costume-mark-vi-6-1

It’s the Iron Man costume! As promised, Costume Craze released the first look at the Mark 6 suit, and I think it looks pretty good! They call this the “Super Deluxe” version.

Head on over to Costume Craze to view their full line of Iron Man 2 costumes, including what I assume are the “economy” versions.

Movies and Costumes Ripped Off by Turks

by manny

Wow, these videos are insane! These are Turkish movies that totally rip off Star Trek, Star Wars and Spider-Man.

LOL, the Star Wars video even has the Indiana Jones theme. Awesome!

Officially Licensed Serenity/Firefly Browncoat

by manny

browncoat-firefly-serenity

What a gorgeous browncoat! This is an officially licensed Serenity/Firefly browncoat, made famous by none other than good ol’ Malcolm Reynolds.

This must be very high quality, as it carries a price tag of $319.99. That’s steep, but oh so worth it.

As worn by the dashing Captain Mal Reynolds of the good ship Serenity (played by Nathan Fillion), this replica suede coat is going to get you into (and out of) plenty of adventures! On the other hand, it’s such high quality that you may want to keep it safe and sound in your home collection. Officially licensed and available in a very limited run, this western-style duster features 100% real suede, fully-functional brass buckles, smooth leather cuffs, gunflaps at the sides, detailed stitching and a Serenity woven label. Order yours today!

Available at Entertainment Earth.

Come for the Iron Man 2 Costumes, Stay for the Facial Hair

by manny

Can you imagine owning Tony Stark’s facial hair? It sounds impossible, but Costume Craze insists it’s true.

Yes, these are the new licensed Iron Man 2 costumes! Well, except for the big guy himself. Costume Craze won’t release photos of the Mark 6 Iron Man costume until March 1st. But we do get to see his helmet and facial hair.

From Costume Craze:

Shown below is Whiplash, War Machine, Ironette, Black Widow… Please note that these are some, but not all, of the new Iron Man costumes. We will release photos of the Mark 6 costume on March 1st!

Here’s the rest of the gang:

whiplash-costume-iron-man-2black-widow-costume-iron-man-2

ironette-costume-iron-man-2war-machine-costume-3-iron-man-2

I think these look fun. Although, Whiplash needs to get new whips, and maybe lose the sweatpants?

As for Ironette — If I hadn’t seen an article on io9.com earlier today, I would be scratching my head over that costume. Ironette is part of the gang?

Check out this concept art of Tony Stark’s “backup dancers.”

Funny Dark Knight Set Photo

by manny

I saw the above photo getting passed around heavily on Twitter yesterday. Very cool! It was humorously touted as a photo taken on set during the filming of The Dark Knight.

Pretty funny! Someone Photoshopped the skateboard into the real photo, shown below. Too bad, I like the thought of Joker jumping over Batman with his skateboard.

The Last Airbender Costumes Revealed

by manny

aang-costume-last-airbender

Costume Craze just released photos of the licensed costumes for Avatar: The Last Airbender. What do you think of Aang? Hmmm.

Personally, I think I’d go with a bald cap, rather than wear that Aang mask. Katara, Sokka and the Blue Spirit are below. View them all, and more, at Costume Craze.

Dancing in Predator Costumes

by manny

Well, this is funny and bizarre.

I’m not entirely certain, but I believe this was shot during the filming of Predator 2. I wonder why they did this? LOL, maybe this was an extra on the DVD?

Here’s another video of an Alien and Predator running around in London. I think this was a commercial for AvsP 2: Requiem. Definitely cool costumes!

Star Trek Fans Set Costume World Record

by manny

StarTrek

Congratulations, London Trekkies!

On Valentine’s Day, a crowd of 99 Star Trek fans gathered on London’s Millenium Bridge and set a Guiness World Record for the “largest gathering of Star Trek fans dressed in character.” So very cool!

This is the first time Guinness World Records have been called upon to adjudicate such an event and judges were ably assisted by Giles Aston, a Star Trek aficionado and professional ‘Captain Jean-Luc Picard’ impersonator in determining the authenticity of the participants’ cosplay attempts.

StarTrek

It’s worth noting that this is the first record of its kind. I have no doubt that other Star Trek groups will break this record very soon.

Homemade R2-D2 Costume?

by manny

I stumbled onto this video on Youtube. It’s a pretty clever use of old ducting to make a cute robot costume.

The title of the video is R2-D2, but…. I’m not so sure.

It looks more like R2-D2 fell in love with a Slinky and they had a baby, don’t you think?

Fergie Sings in a Tron Costume

by manny

fergie-tron-costume-1

Fergie, the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, wore a cool Tron costume when their tour kicked off last night in Atlanta, GA.

Wow, that costume looks really awesome. I am curious, though — why a Tron costume? Do you think she got paid to wear this, as some kind of promotional deal for the upcoming Tron movie? Or is this just “inspired?”

Let’s give a round of applause to the creator of this paper Iron Man costume! Heh, pretty clever, actually. The blue gift bow on his hand is rather hilarous.

Yep, this guy knows how to save money.
