Tallsquall's other Wallet emptying Obsession

Some of you may have caught on already, but my other big hobby is costuming at conventions. It is great fun, but just like collecting statues can drain the wallet fast.

Here are some pics of the Characters I costume as.

Movie Version Thor

COOL!

Very impressive! Thor is my favorite.

The costumes fit perfectly and look very well made. You have excellent posture and physique. Hope you keep doing this.

Thanks Everyone!

To answer some questions:
Nope I don't make them myself, I commission them from various costume artist around the South East US

Thor is my newest and also my current favorite, Superman I use the most as I also support various charities around the area doing Superman visits to hospitals and events for special needs kids.

My costuming is probably my biggest motivator to stay in shape and make it to the gym most everyday - nothing like knowing you have to put on a full body spandex super suit to scare you into working out!

Oh here is my first Superhero costume: Superboy
