Halloween -- LEGO Style

When you think of Halloween, you think of scaring people. What better way to scare people than to show them how obsessed you are about a toy?

 

This was actually mostly Chris's (my wife) idea, I just supplied the reference material. We spent all day Saturday (an excess of 8 hours) making these costumes from scratch. It only cost us $30.00 for both because I had lots of cardboard already. As some of you may know, Chris is a little competetive at times, and well, there was this costume contest that needed to be won.

 Long story short, a lot of fun was had by all and the Spurgeons walked away with the top prize, which turned out to be a Chinese Fondue set and not the Imperial Start Destroyer UCS set after all!

The heads were the hardest part to come up with. Chris and I searched for hours at four different places and finally found some cheap plastic candy bowls at WalMart. Each head is two bowls inverted with a ring of cardboard in the middle. Both heads used one roll of Duct tape and some quick drying Krylon spray paint made for plastic.

Pretty cool indeed. I did a Lego style costume myself once a few years ago go to go with my nephew's costume of Pepper from the Lego Island games. I imagine it was a little hard to see out of those heads - you'll definitely have to show us those costumes at the next meeting! :)
