They even have the Metroid!
Having been to countless conventions and covered all sorts of anime, gaming and movie news for over a decade, I’ve seen some really impressive outfits and cosplay. But in recent years, especially when it comes to theMetroidarena, this is easily one of the most impressive Samus costumes I’ve seen in a while.
Created by Wargaming (World of Tanks) developer Brenden McCormack and his wife Laura, this Samus costume doesn’t just look like it came out of a magazine ad for the nextMetroidtitle: it has actual functioning flair. Take a look at the details like the lights all around the costume, as well as the visor that actually “powers up.”
The thing that really gets me though, is the [presumably last] Metroid in that tank! Amazingly, I think I actually have that toy; which I bought at a Toys“R”Us as it was going out of business. Now I just need to look into the containment unit, because that’s a perfect way to display it.
McCormack says that they are “ready for Halloween parties in 2021.” Yeah, I think so! In the meantime, we’re ready foranynews aboutMetroid Prime 4, Nintendo.
