Robo...kid...cop.

Now this is cosplay old school style.

Over on the Sweetjuniper Log, Dutch describes how his kid wanted to be Robocop. Dad agreed, but instead of doing the traditional thing and going to the store, he went down too the basement and gatghered a ferw scraps. A few coats of paint later, and ta-daa! Robokid!

Here's a description of how it all worked out, and some more pictures here.  I myself am absolutely enchanted by this costume.







And Robokid with the cops he's going to replace. Dig the totally serious expression on Robokid's face.

I actually made a painful noise *out loud* in the office at that. Well played.

Great home-made costume, and cute kid!

But... I doubt I'd let my (hypothetical) 5yo kid watch Robocop. I remember it being very violent and bloody. Unless the kid knows of him from the tv series or cartoon, so I guess that'd be ok.

From what the blog said, it sounds like the kid saw a picture of Robocop, and then was shown a trailer, not the actual movie.

Ah. That's a relief.
