PSA: I saw a guy at the Portland Rose Festival wearing a perfect 'Wreck-It Ralph' costume made entirely from cardboard boxes and duct tape.

He had painted the boxes with leftover house paint and used a red plastic cup for his medal, which honestly looked better than some of the $300 versions I've seen online.

Remember that guy a few years back who built a full-size, wearable Dalek from foam board and PVC pipe? Saw it at a con. The plunger arm actually moved. Makes you wonder what people have sitting in their garages. Pure dedication beats a store-bought costume every time.

Totally get what you mean, @nancy30. My garage just has a half-painted stormtrooper helmet and a lot of regret.

Feel that, mine currently has a half-finished R2-D2 made of cardboard and tears.
