My Costume Concept for Halloween 2012

I'll tell you, It's been a hard year for me to figure it out. Each year usually is pretty simple. I start working on a concept in mid august, and finish first of October, so I can start costume parties. I usually know what I'm doing a year in advance. Past six years have been my best.
Six years ago, I started my Dr. Steel Kick. I loved that Lab coat:

Took me 7 hours to put together.

Five Years ago I was Super Steel:

This outfit cost me under $15. Goodwill pants and shirts. Spraypaint. Boots that I already owned.T-Shirt Transfer.


Four Years ago I was Professor Black

Basically, Like Doctor Steel, but reverse colors.


Three Years ago, I was Sam From the movie "Trick 'R' Treat".

I also hand made the Lollipop:

And the Hidie-Ho Bar:

And then Two years ago, I was the Big Bad Wolf:


The Gown and Bonnet were hand made. So were the claws and legs. Well, the legs were stilts called "Power-riser", cost around $360. I then made the legs more wolf like. Mask was the only thing I bought Halloween-Wise.

Then Last Year, I was a Giant Minotaur.


 I Kept the Fur on the Stilts, and Changed the feet, to hooves. I also Custom made a double-headed ax, and made the head from scratch.


Well, this year, I finally got my Idea for my outfit Yesterday when the Halloween store finally opened up. We were actually going there, because we were looking for a costume for my son, Jace. Well, unfortunately, we didn't Find anything good. Then, when I went over to the weapon section and saw the swords that were on sale. They were only $3 each. What I liked about them was the odd shape. They looked like the arms of a praying mantis...

THAT'S IT!!! I know what I want to do! I'm gonna be a Scientific Experiment gone wrong! I Still need to get a Labcoat, Black Slacks, Button up Shirt and a Tie.
I have a good Idea for the Stilts, too. I just got to make them look like bug legs.
I'll post Progress, later!
