Title: REAL LIFE Metroid - Power Suit, Metroid Hatchling+
Post by Platinumfungi on 08. Jun 2012 at 03:37

Lately I've been taking a break from modding video game systems, and have been working on video game themed props and costumes for Youtube videos. Currently I've been dealing with some Metroid props and thought I'd share a few teaser photos. Let me know what you all think!

- I made the helmet, did all the LED lighting, repainted parts of the suit, created the Metroid hatchling, and created the Metroid egg. To see all my projects, updates, and more info, please check out my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Platinumfungi

- A very talented Cosplayer named Kelly Johnson created the Power Suit (sans helmet and LED lighting). She's the one wearing the suit.

- This is all being created for a short Youtube fan video by the group "mikeNgary": http://www.youtube.com/user/mikengar...e=results_m...

- When the video is released, I'll post again with an update 8-)

What do I do for a living? Ha ha, oh a little bit of everything. I have yet to really find my "career" job. Ideally it would involve something with art/design, tinkering, and video games or movies.

Thanks for the compliments :) I'm not sure about the fate of any of the other suits used in the commercials or fan projects. It would be interesting to know though.

Currently many of these items are on display at a local art gallery in Springfield, MO. We're still discussing what the future of them will be after that, but I think they will be on display in a few other gaming/art establishments and then maybe sell them off. We'll see.
