Thread: Winged Beast mech. wings costume.......

Tweet

Saw this at party city today and decided this is what I want. I always been a big fan of the Jeepers Creepers saga (Batman as well) and just loved winged creatures.I thought I would look good coming out of the fog chasing TOT's in our yard maze while flapping my wings. This would be the first Halloween for me to wear something since I spend most my time overseeing the actors at our place and running the cameras as the director of our walk through show. What do ya think ? Oh btw it was only $ 39 at the store and they have sales later on. The wing spand opens to a huge 8 ' wide spread so I would need some room to run.Winged Beast Halloween Party Adult Male Costumes - Party City

wow that is ... awesome... go for it. sounds like you need some costumed fun time let some one else take charge for a bit


i can almost see it, hiding behind some trash cans or boxes then popping those wings up and jumping out at startled ToTers, watching them scatter... yeah you need to do it!

Thanks, and you did give me a good idea. I can see myself hiding behind a big bush with our foggers running and Tiki's burning.....then suddently in the fog you hear a wing beat and see in the haze of fog a large black wing thing coming your way....how cool. Reminds me of the scene in JP3 on the swinging bridge when the large Dino bird shows up, or maybe a scene from the movie " When darkness falls " with the Tooth Fairy........dang I've seen too many movies huh....lol? Man I'm digging this !!!!

I'd be interested in detailed pics of the wings for constructing my own. I've seen several on web sites, but these look like they hang nice. Besides, I want to modify a set to open differently (aka one hand operation).

The box was nice size and the pics on it look great, the wings looked very detail. Their were instructions on the side of the box as well. An 8' wing spand sounds perfect too, thats an imposing figure in the dark. I'll take some pics after I get it and post them here. They do look very similar to the Jeepers Creepers creature they way they hang and cup around you a bit.

I actually built Gargoyle wings that operated like that

However what I did was run cables down my legs and hooked the cables on an Aluminium bracket like this.

When I crouched the wings were closed when I stood up they would Open. No one could figure out how I was making them work.

This might help some and a much better pic. My wife and boy loved it, so I now have permission to get it even tho I'm already over budget....ExtremeCostumes.com: Gothic Wings, Black Wings, Bat Wings, Feather Wings, Black and Burgundy Feather Wings

looks fun

Watch out for wind resitance when you run
you dont want to break them .. or acidently fly up & get stuck in a tree ha-ha

Lol,....yeah and I was thinking of jumping off the garage roof and soaring like an eagle, just like in my dreams. Well dang went in the store today with a coupon and I missed quoted the price which is the same as the web site of $49 (note; Party City and Party America are the same....confusing) . The $10 extra bucks threw me curve, oh well I'll go back next week after payday (they only have 2 in stock....eeek).

That . . . is . . . AWESOME!!! The wings would be a perfect addition to my costume. I don't like the veins, though. What would one use to repaint the wings? Are they fabric or plastic?

I found a red pair at this site for $29.99, but I don't know how reputable the store is. Plus, it comes with a shirt instead of a chest piece, and you don't get a set of horns or teeth.
