Elaborate cardboard Gundam cosplayer

A young cosplayer at the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention 2010 sported this astonishing stilt-walking cardboard Gundam suit; alas, it wasn't the easiest thing to walk in.

Awesome Cardboard Gundam Cosplayer has Epic Fall at STGCC 2010

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Anything one does in such a suit is epic. It was an epic fall after an epic walk about.

I was like “Ow, right on the knees,” then I realized he just landed on his own feet, which were at the costume’s knees. Nice recovery!

The tiny head and waggy-crotch are a bit odd

  Agreed. I assume they wanted to keep the head in the right proportions or something, but they should have just made it a little too big and have it sit on his head right.
  
  Also, bolt that cod-piece down, there are children present!

Yea, the head look similar to an Eva, moreso than a Gundam.

That’s it. The gauntlet has been thrown down. I’m gonna have to pull a Roujin-Z next year.

What an incredible costume!

But doesn’t it look like it’s just stumbling in late to a giant robots’ AA meeting?
