Your fursuit pwned

[andygates]

...by these gobsmackingly awesome animatronic robot dinosaur suits.  Sit through the build sequence (unless you're a Henson fanboy like me who loves that stuff) until you see the raptor move.  The smart gubbins handles dynamic balance so the operator can puppet it: fantastic, fast, fluid and really big bulky movement.  I want one.

They're for the Walking With Dinosaurs Live show.  Yes, we've probably all got issues with WWD, but still.. freaking cool.  There's more video of them on the show's site.

On the subject of suits...

Furry goat leggings... with power stilts :)

Not that I could afford it, even if they would.

I wonder if they're rent me the raptor suit for Halloween. Beat that at a costume contest, I dare ya.
