Last year, John Savio, Apple fanboy and avid Halloween fan, created an iPhone 3GS costume that impressed the geek community. It was both a thing of beauty and yet somehow aesthetically ‘off.’ He incorporated a display that made the costume look like a functioning device, but the form factor was all wrong. The corners were too squared… the width too — wide. It left you feeling torn. But this year, Mr. Savio has mastered his art with the iPhone 4... Continue reading

This week in cheap Stormtrooper costume ideas, we examine Jason’s Stormtrooper trash bin helmet, an idea he was forced to employ after a student of  his promised to lend him a costume for a school event, yet failed to deliver. In a blind panic, Jason grabbed the closest object within arm’s reach and improvised. Here is what you’ll need according to Jason: “One white bin, electrical tape, black paper, double sided sticky tape, sheer determination.” The result is charmingly impressive,... Continue reading

Simple, yet effective. With a few artistic talents and some old junk you likely have laying around the house anyway, you can create your own Nintendo Mii costume. This guy used some spare cardboard to fashion a tennis racket and little red rubber buffers as peg hands. The solid red t-shirt seals the deal. I imagine the mask is simple enough to make in Photoshop or Illustrator. The faces themselves are rather basic, strictly geometric, so not much of an... Continue reading

This Steampunk Iron Man Costume has me in a dilemma. My first thought when I saw this was that I would love to see Steampunk Iron Man take on Sherlock Holmes in a good old fashion fight to the death. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the underlying Victorian style of both characters. But then I realized this dream would never come to fruition, at least without the technology to instantly clone Robert Downey Jr. That being said, this aged... Continue reading

I can fall in love with any girl that has a grasp of Star Wars trivia. It’s a weakness of mine. Unfortunately (but fortunately for her), this model is not one of those woman. For one, Darth Vader never, ever would be caught dead using a blaster. And what the hell is that disgustingly smooth, hairless and perfectly tanned stuff between the Wookiee fur? Gross. Cover that shit up. Sure, these Star Wars costumes are sexy enough, but their total... Continue reading

Hey there, sugar cube. I heard you like horse play so I put a horse on your mask so you can horse around while you horse around. This Horse Head Mask is not only a great Halloween costume, but also makes the greatest gift of all time. It’s creative, unique, strange and everyone wants one as soon as they see it. If that’s not an awesome gift then what is? This mask is so realistic that you’ll be begging for... Continue reading

Whatever your preferred breed of evil might be, whether you enjoy desert living or the advantages of blending into a crowd, there are ways to purchase a helmet solution for any path you desire to take. But never before has there been such an easy way to create your very own Stormtrooper Helmet, using only two empty gallon milk jugs, some elastic and a little bit of creativity. Filth Wizardry created these Stormtrooper Helmets as a budget Halloween idea. The... Continue reading

Since the debut of Batman on screen in 1943, the Caped Crusader has gone through transformation after transformation, costume change after costume change, some more subtle than others. When looked at in their entire scope, the changes over the years have essentially made the Batman a new person altogether. From the Batsuit’s days of thin spandex-like material, more akin to a professional wrestler than a superhero, to his current suit made from hardened kevlar plates on titanium-dipped tri-weave fibers, making...

“Because you’re my child and you will wear what I TELL YOU TO WEAR DAMMIT!” *folds arms in defeat* Just because we acknowledge that this is the cutest, most diminutive Stormtrooper we’ve ever seen, doesn’t mean we have to accept it. Or does it? I don’t know, I’m no philosophy major. But I think you already deduced that based on the fact that I have a job. But anyway, HEY, yeah, tiny Stormtrooper! Can we keep him?! Link [via]
