ARGYLE ACADEMY LAND PREVIEW!

Most of you all know that we've been working on the new costumes for the Argyle Academy theme park that is opening in Fall of 2013 day and night! Well, the first costume, Matthew, got leaked by CNet and Wired last night, so we decided to go ahead and post them here as well. Enjoy!


As you can see, the costume is designed to hide the actor as much as possible. If you saw this in person, you would think that this was an actual octopus that wears a small sailor hat and is always sweaty. I've already built a prototype of this in my basement studio using cardboard, felt, glue, push pins, macaroni, the usb connector from my scanner, string, twine, yarn, balsa wood, a rubber stamp, human beard hair, a postcard from Scandinavia that says "please don't over-medicate yourself on our soil!", some headphones I stole from my brother, a Dashboard and Capt Beefheart mix CD, a dime, two quarters, some newspaper, a DVD box set of Little Britain, a Bob Barker-style microphone, a dog named A'flaps, a graphic calculator, a jr high school gym shirt and shorts set, one pinto bean (possibly a navy bean), scotch tape, a kiln, three rubber bands, a jack o' lantern (perfectly preserved in a glacier), the chicken pox, a handful of micromachines, scissors, some rocks, some precious jewels and gems, and belt buckle that says "Berlin is for Germans" (German belt buckles aren't very clever).
