Don't know whether this is best homemade halloween costume ever or just plain child abuse?!

    In principle, the costume design is very similar to the Utahraptors presented at the "Walking with Dinosaurs" arena exhibit.

    I vote child abuse.

    I like it. The designer managed to get very smooth motion of the joints.

    Pure awesome genius. And hysterical to watch.

    I agree with the Youtube comment that adding lights & sound (OK, no FIREWORKS on kid's costume) for effect would be dramatic.

    Also check out the well-done Wall-E costume vid at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gKdfDMpm3Y&feature=related·. The brother's costume (a B&L generic passenger) is quite nice.
