My son really wanted these and they looked pretty cool. We were going to make the hands but a company called Megablocks made these fists (see link below) They're kind like hulk fist. (I do that in life quite often) I have posted a picture of the figure, I think it came from McDonalds (The fast food place) The parts: mask/helmet, chest and back piece and two leg covers. Normally I'll sketch something up but since we had the figure I just kinda went with it and flew by the seat of my pants. Material: Thin EVA foam sheets (brown, green, red, blue and black) - $10 1/2" thick EVA foam anti-fatigue mats (had these on hand) - $10 Hot glue and hot glue gun - $5 small roll of velcro $3 Black and brown sharpie - $3 Blue LED tealights - $2 Total: $33 Time: about 8 hours or the course of 2 or 3 weeks First, the idea here is to kinda try and picture how you want things to look. Once again, I forgot to take step by step photos but I'll do my best to explain what I did step by step and give you a list of materials and prices. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the free market and a little bit of capitalism but taking advantage of parents that want to buy their snowflakes these costumes is kinda low. There were options at the Walmart and Target but I really didn't like the quality of the costume and it seems that profiteers have gotten wind that these were going to be popular and they bought them all up and have been listing them on eBay for twice the MSRP. Looking around on the internet there wasn't much to chose from. My son is really into Skylanders and this year he wanted to dress up as one of the Giants characters named tree Rex.
