He begged me to let him watch AVP, so I finally did, then he begged me to make him a Predator costume...
The armor is from a cheap breastplate and shield set we got for about $10. The mask and hands have been modified from an official Predator set I got on Amazon for about $30. The mask features a working superbright LED targeting "laser" built from Radio Shack components. The "shoulder-mounted plasma cannon" is a $2 water pistol spray painted silver and the claws are modified from toy Wolverine claws. I made the necklace from some twine and sculpy. This costume took a few weeks to make and is very light and comfortable, wearing this has become part of his nightly routine around the house. The little man is very excited to wear it on Halloween this year.

Very cool
I'd like to know when Predator joined the Decepticons, though (check out the belt buckle...)

Ah, a kid after my own heart (the first movie I remember watching was Alien; didn't really understand the story but I distinctly remember how pretty I though the adult alien was
). That may be the most kick @$$ little kid's costume; you're starting him out right.
Hmm, maybe Kevin242 is anticipating a future sequel to AVP: Autobots Vs. Predator

That's fun and it's hard to get a five year old to wear any kind of over the head mask so that's impressive on it's own.
