Fully-transformable robot costumes
Damn, it's just our luck to have discovered the hottest Halloween costumes in history about a month too late; on the plus side, we now have almost a year to save our pennies so we can afford one of Mark De Repentigny's $3700 fully-transformable robot get-ups. Since 1993, Canadian aerospace worker De Repentigny has been creating one-of-a-kind, strikingly realistic costumes that have evolved to include working lights, speakers, and transparent windows. Models such as Transformers Starscream and Megatron, Gundam, plus several Marksprojects originals are actually able to change their appearance while the user is inside, although it's unclear if you need to be extremely flexible to perform this feat. Looks like winning next year's Engadget Halloween Contest just got a whole lot harder- after witnessing these creations, along with that functioning wearable digicam, we're gonna need to see something like an oversized HTC Apache with speakerphone and 32-inch widescreen LCD to impress us.
