We may raise our snobby noses as we pass by cosplayers at conventions, but once a year it becomes socially acceptable for us to embrace our inner theater student and don a disguise. Being people who spend quite a bit of time writing about or playing video games, we tend to err on the side of nerdery when it comes to Halloween outfits (shocking, we know). The folks at Fangamer coax this urge all the more when they release a full outfit of Earthbound’s hero, Ness, on their site. Considering the striped “Shirtness,” the accompanying “Earth Bounder” (the yo-yo) and the guarantee that it’ll arrive before Halloween, the $54.99 asking price seems almost acceptable. Almost.

The night of All Hallows’ Eve is swiftly approaching. We’re sure that, by now, you’ve got a rough outline of what pop culture icon you’ll attempt to disguise yourself as. We’re also sure that it’s not one-tenth as awesome nor as intricate as the Covenant Elite (of Halo fame) costume recently created by YouTube user petemander1. That is, unless your Optimus Prime costume has animatronic, remote-controlled eyes and mandibles. No? It doesn’t? That’s what we thought.
Check out the two videos posted after the jump to get an early look at Pete’s humbling (and slightly terrifying) creation. We’d say we can’t wait to see how the full costume turns out, but we’ve already got plenty of subjects on which to base our nightmares.

Tekken 6 continues to expand its repertoire of manga-inspired special costumes. Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, is collaborating with Namco Bandai by creating an alternate outfit for Lars (seen above). This is the second costume from a famous mangaka for Tekken 6, the first being CLAMP’s design for Jin.
In addition to Kishimoto’s outfit, Tekken 6 will also feature an alternate costume for Zafina designed by Mutsumi Inomata, character designer of Tales of Destiny and Tales of Graces (after the break). While some were afraid these costumes would remain a strictly Japan-only affair, Siliconera reports that all three of the special costumes revealed so far will be available in the US version as well when it launches on October 27th.

OK, we’re sure this has been floating around the tubes for a bit, but we’re more than happy to devote some attention to the very cool Brotherhood of Steel costume you see above. Made out of awesome and love (probably some foam and paint in there too), the beautiful homage to Fallout 3 was apparently completed back in March.
After seeing this, we don’t feel so bad about losing that auction for the 7′10″ Brotherhood of Steel statue. We’d go to work wearing this costume if we could.
[Thanks, Gawk]
