Soldier_CLE : Owen Good=pantywaste: As a little kid, I would've killed a platoon of GI Joes just to get a costume like that!
That costume is full of win! more »
BeyondtheTech: Holy crap. I want one for each of my kids, or better yet. Mazinger Z, Lion Force Voltron, and Vehicle Voltron. I'll dress up as some lizard and let... more »

If I ever have a daughter, I'm letting her wear any costume she wants. But—in the name of all that is sweet, sugary, and adorable—I hope she wants a Voltron one like this. Update: Now with how-it-was-made pictures!

I've never been a fan of billboard-type costumes—"I'm a lame YouTube video" or "I'm an iPhone"—but this giant Etch-a-Sketch costume is excellent. And it actually works.
