Took me a cumulative 80 hours to build mine I guess? It was trial and error on my part. I built the leg stilts out of scrap wood I had in my garage and some old shoes. The arms were originally a wood structure but I replaced them this year with $5 crutches which I modified at the bottom to add an extra 2 feet of pipe lengths. Spent another $10 on rubber furniture footings to go on all legs... uhhh. Mask was like $5 at hobby lobby. Bought probably $30 worth of fake black leaves. I don't know about price since I was super frugal with it, but I'd guess I spent under $100 on the entire thing.
I got some black fabric from a local second hand store! It was basically a big black bed sheet, which I laid under each leg/arm and cut an appropriate piece to wrape/cover them. I ended up running out so I had to tear up some black pillow covers as well.
Nope! Luckily I haven't fallen! I was able to walk right away but the first draft of the costume was pretty cumbersome and risky since the front legs were made of wood for the structure. I later replaced the front legs with aluminum crutches I got from Goodwill for like $5, then added an extended pipe piece to get another 2 feet of height.
Yeah, the first year the skin of the suit was trash bag material. Not sure why, but it made a few kids cry and I definitely felt bad! The second year less cried, and by the third year I learned to stay still or back off from any kids I thought it might scare too bad.
It would be really funny if in some video on omlet I don't know how to write but it would be cool if you said *I'm going to hunt you down* or *I'm going to pull your feet*
This is epic!
Thanks so much! I wish it were a bit more mobile but it's a lot of fun to wear.
Man I really want one of these. How much money, and how long does it usually take to make these?

@@melnickmultimedia Alrighty! Thanks for the information
This is so cool, I was also one and scared people too, but I hid in the woods and chased after them.
Damn
LOL you gotta do it again and post it
So you built it yourself??? Considering this isn't a costume you can buy.
Where did you get your fabric from
I got some black fabric from a local second hand store! It was basically a big black bed sheet, which I laid under each leg/arm and cut an appropriate piece to wrape/cover them. I ended up running out so I had to tear up some black pillow covers as well.
Have you ever fallen
And how long did it take to learn to walk

Yeah, the first year the skin of the suit was trash bag material. Not sure why, but it made a few kids cry and I definitely felt bad! The second year less cried, and by the third year I learned to stay still or back off from any kids I thought it might scare too bad.
