11-Year-Old Working on Epic Metroid Outfit

[Impluse_101]

Thats fantastic, I really would like to see it in person, but thats a laugh.

Still I just love the Metroid games and here we have a young boy building himsef the suit. Thats pretty damn awesome.

the dad = win!
the kid knowing what he's doing and talking about = EPIC WIN!
the overall concept = so much win that it imploded on itself!

Oh, wait, nope.

Very nice costume, though, and a very cool parent.

That's pretty awesome, I've always wanted an arm cannon.

[small][small][small]And it's still the Power Suit, it just has the Varia upgrade...[/small][/small][/small]

 

[duchaked]

Where is the Escapists Costume Wall of Fame? I would like to see it.

It's something I made up when I posted on another guy's R2-D2 costume. It's unofficial.

This. That kid sounds more mature than people twice his age.

Weird, the suit seems to have de-aged him, I swear he was a 14 year old.

Still, very awesome looking so far :3

Coolest. Dad. EVER. Seriously, if my dad would build a Samus suit for me I'd cancel my Batman costume on the spot.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Coolest 11 year old.

EVER.

I hope he finishes the thing, and I hope we can see a video of the whole thing!

"This is awesome son, we finished it! I still don't get why this couldn't have been a Master Chief armor"
"Dad, I have something to tell you"

 

[Quaidis]

I've been momentarily overcome by how hardcore that is. It makes me want to buy random power tools and fool with my own set of Styrofoam and PVC piping.

 

[Notthatbright]

Good for the dad. 11 Year gets to wear the costume, and help his dad make it.
Course if we all had our own workshops I'm sure this sort of thing would be more commonplace.

I'm almost tempted to be an asshole and say "Haha you're dressing as a girl!".

 

[FrostyChick]

Doesn't this count as cross dressing?

well if it's specifically meant to be a Samus cosplay then yes it's cross dressing, unless there's some kind female only restriction on power suits...

OT: that looks awesome... I want one :3

 

[thedeathscythe]

Wow, I would be super proud of my son or daughter for being so dedicated to what they're doing.

Considering I hate Metroid, I'd say yeah, kid is a bigger fan than I am. Nifty gun toy they made though.

Hah! See? There ARE awesome children gamers.

Makes my attempt a creating a convincing Scout Costume look like,

*Sunglasses*

"child's play?"

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

*Fixed*

No. Fail meme from fail show is fail.

It would be more badass if it was an 11-year old girl instead. But hey, that's cool too.

I'm almost tempted to be an asshole and say "Haha you're dressing as a girl!".

So, what's wrong with that?
