Win the Big Daddy costume shown at the Spike TV VGA's photo

Take it from me: I saw this costume from a foot away on the Spike TV red carpet, and it is the kind of thing you'd consider selling your first born in exchange for. What's even better is that a portion of the proceeds are being donated to Child's Play. Now all you need is a fat wallet to make it all happen and a kid cool enough to dress up as a Little Sister and make dad proud.

The seller actually made the costume himself, which he meticulously documented on his Flickr page. It has been worn a few times, but seems to be in decent condition according to description and pictures. The eBay page is also worth a read and he tells the story of what the costume has gone through and where its been (Ken Levine called and asked for it to accompany him at the VGAs!)

Current bid is $975 and it ends tomorrow. All I can say is, whoever gets this: BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

That suit is shorter than the presenter there. How is one supposed to fit in it?

i may wear it to work, show up late, and justify my tardiness by boasting about how I'd spent the morning following small girls around.

i like promotions.

That would be the best suit to pull pranks in. I can imagine showing up at a gas station at 3 in the morning asking for a pack of cigs, and just wanting to see the expression on the clerks face.

Or hell, go to a really fancy restaurant and put a little bow tie on it.

or being stopped by the cops

or going to a retirement home.

god owning this suit has sitcom written all over it.

@The-Excel: That's no "presenter", that's Ken Levine!

Anywho, I don't think I'd want this in my house... I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

If I had it, I'd never take it off. No sir, not even for hygiene.

It does look a bit short for a Big Daddy.

Wow. A thousand dollars isn't bad at all. If had a little more disposable income to spend on useless (but _awesome_) crap, I'd be in.

I'd wear that into a preschool and start following around a little girl.
