Introducing ‘The Hulkbuster’: Possibly The Best Halloween Costume In The World
(Video from Tech Insider)
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Tipping the scales at a hefty 84 pounds and measuring in at nine and a half feet tall, the revolutionary new Hulkbuster robotic suit is the ultimate Halloween costume to outdo all others.
Created by costume creating genius, Tom DePetrillo, the Hulkbuster is a robotic creation quite unlike anything you’ll see outside of a Hollywood movie set.
It took over 1600 hours to construct the aluminium skeleton and outside shell of polycarbonate, EVA foam and styrene plastic. And the end result is about eight times the volume of the average human Halloween reveller.
But if you want to be the lucky wearer this Halloween, bear in mind that you’ll need to stock up on the 58 AA batteries needed to power all 915 LED lights, the deadly in-built eye lasers and foot mounted thundering sound effects.
Oh, and you’ll also need a hefty Halloween costume budget to cover the $60,000 cost of this extreme costume creation.
Hulkbuster creator, Thomas DePetrillo lives in Rhode Island with his wife of 19 years and their three children. His passion for making costumes started young – as a child he LOVED Halloween and made all his own outfits from scratch. Every year they’d get bigger and better, until he eventually started making them professionally.
For the last 20 years he’s been a master of ‘Extreme Costumes’, jaw-dropping creations that have scooped prizes all over the world and are way beyond anything you’ll see outside of a Hollywood blockbuster. A scholar of psychology and economics, Tom is completely self-taught.
