Usually the Internet has to wait for something to become popular before its denizens start dressing up like it. Alas, further proving that there is little typical about James Cameron’s Avatar, it has broken that cycle by inspiring an enthusiastic YouTuber’s Halloween costume nearly two months before the movie is set for release.
Attempting to pull off Sam Worthington’s character of Jake Sulley, the fan in question explains that it took countless days of planning and roughly five hours of makeup on the final day, which sounds like a lot of a devotion, but if you ask me it was worth it. Baring the necessary facial reconstructive surgery to make it look like he was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and taking some Skele-Grow to bump his height up another two feet to truly complete the look, I’d say this is a damned impressive bit of cosplay; particularly considering he would only have been able to use promo materials as his sources and not the end product.
His tail could use a bit of work, but the modded Nerf gun he has more than makes up for it. Plus the guy has a good sense of humor, as evidenced by a picture of him in front of a toy display at a store.
