	Dress up as the Big Daddy this Halloween, little sister not included
	Colette Bennett on Bioshock

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.

Syn at 09/29/2008 19:11

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

Cataract at 09/29/2008 19:16

Brick, NJ?

HAHAHA, living in jersey just got better!

"...starting bid of $250"

Oh, nevermind then.

dtomek at 09/29/2008 19:17

Ass-sweat included?

SWE3tMadness at 09/29/2008 19:26

Pros: Live within a day's drive of NJ

Cons: Broke college student. :(

Fronz at 09/29/2008 19:45

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.

Scrixx at 09/29/2008 20:04

Actually that's 30 minutes away from my place. Too bad I'm short $250.

Gamer Named Tim at 09/29/2008 20:09

I like how the drill actually moves.

Fuckin' badass.

dyslixec at 09/29/2008 20:31

faultymoose at 09/29/2008 20:33

Oh man, that's hot. I would totally do that guy.

Churchhills Dog at 09/29/2008 21:05

imagine having to wear that thing all night?

Claymore at 09/29/2008 22:05

Colette, he actually will ship. He hasn't calculated costs yet is the thing.

....BAD ASS. I want it. Alas I am brokes.

glandseck at 09/29/2008 22:33

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.

Markusdragon at 09/30/2008 02:26

Would you kindly buy this for me?

nebones at 09/30/2008 04:18

Looks awesome.
