Watch your socks, this Samus cosplay will knock them off

Cosplay is a double-edged sword. There's the scary edge, of course, with some less than savvy design work and
implementation (if you care to put it so kindly). Then there's the awesome side, the side where we see things like
this. Add this blog post to the second category. Frankly, this Samus Aran costume is about as awesome as it gets. We mean that in the true sense of awesome too, as in "to inspire awe." Seriously, if you look at some of
these pictures, you'd think they were screenshots from a new
Metroid game.
The costume was made by Thaís Jussim, a Brazillian cosplayer who goes by the alias Yuki. She's created plenty of costumes -- which can be viewed at her
website -- but this one takes the cake. It weighs about 23 pounds and contains 73 LEDs. Add a Nerf blaster into the arm cannon and it would be perfect.
