In my mind, the idea of going for Halloween as the Big Daddy from BioShock seems really, really cool. Of course, people would stare and freak out over your costume, and you'd have a good shot at winning some costume contests. Then I remember that it's hot as hell in Miami and that I might actually die inside the costume while trying to win a contest with it. Ok, plan aborted.
 
For those of you who reside in cooler climates, this Big Daddy costume is actually on eBay for a fairly reasonable starting bid of $250. The seller mentions that he won two contests with it, but the only downer is that it cannot be shipped, so local pickup only. It's in Brick, new Jersey-- perhaps it's time for some lucky guy to take a road trip?
 
[Update -- this seller will ship the costume after all -- check out the auction listing for the details.]
 
[Thanks, Nintendoll!]

Halloween is no longer scary. Well, except for the parents of teenage daughters who go out looking like a cross of a stripper and a...I guess anything really. Not that I'm complaining at all haha.

Oh and if I was wasted and walking home from a party and I saw that costume, I'd likely shit myself and/or find myself a wrench.

That would be cool if it was free and made bigger so I could wear it. I'm 6'6...that means halloween just isn't fun for me

How does he carry a bag for candy though?! Does he just ask parents to insert candy through his breath holes? That'd be awesome.

Near the beginning of the year, I actually had aspirations of doing the same thing. I made a plan for it, but it was too complex to go with it.
Too bad it's in New Jersey, I would have bought this for 250 clams. I wanted to mope around at work with this on, slowly walking thru the different rooms.
