I just wanted to drop this one in a post quickly.
This is a really cool Tauntaun costume from the Star Wars universe. If you’re not familiar with the Tauntaun’s they are large beasts of burden that the Rebels used on Hoth. What makes this costume so interesting is the technical aspects of it (at least for me). Since there is only one person in the Tauntaun costume it took some planning to make it look right size wise.
Take a look at the finished Tauntaun costume.

Here are some of photos taken during the course of producing the Tauntaun costume.

What I really though was clever about this costume is the way the chose to build the Tauntaun’s legs.

This is one of the last costumes I would have expected to see from the Star Wars universe, however, it just shows that with some planning you can achieve your goals. Enjoy.
