I'm trying to figure out how those boots stay up like that. My first guess would be counter weights but that would be ridiculously heavy on your feet... Anyone have any ideas? Unless he is leaning forward more then I think, at which point I would think it to be uncomfortable.

I don't think it is a costume the arms are ridiculously skinny, I think it's just a statue.

Ah, that's why everyone plays as a Spartan. Duly noted.

I actually like it. Sure it's just tape and cardboard but at least he's not 35 and taking food out of his families mouth so he can vacuum form an MC suit out of plastic. I too don't comprehend how the boots work.

Matt Asanuma's Covenant Elite entry from Comic-Con 2005 Masquerade. I believe he won Most Unique Presentation/Puppeteering.
