What can you do but slow-clap when you see a homemade costume like this?
The creator, known online as TVsRobLowe, was apparently inspired by looking at himself in a mirror:
I'm 6'2, wear glasses, and always near 300 pounds, and I know my limits for costuming. Last year I made a budget Darth Vader hoping to conceal my weight within the robes, and I was happy with the results but I looked like a fat guy dressed as Vader. Being my size, I don't have many options for actual characters - only really Doctor Octopus or Krang.
Knowing what you are, and opting to be the very best at it ever? That's the spirit. But just so you know, brains are about 12% fat, so putting one on your stomach isn't ever going to be a slimming look.

Knowing your body limitations is one of the keys to good costuming. He did an amazing job.
til I looked at the draft ov $7328, I accept that my best friend was like they say actualy receiving money part-time on their computer.. there aunts neighbour haz done this for only nineteen months and just repayed the dept on there villa and got a new Volkswagen Golf GTI. go to, cloud68.c om
Maybe it's because I'm tired but until I looked at the link I was baffled by Krang's dimensions. Then I saw it was just a really really good sculpt. Brilliant.

Is that Krang or Honey Boo Boo's mom?

@GrandMoffAckbar That is the best thing I have seen. Ever. And I include witnessing the birth of any future children.

Perhaps this is the wake-up call the elitist comics industry needs! It's time for heroes of all shapes and sizes! You've got races, sexes, religions, ages... even literally colors, but few heroes of size!
It's time, dammit!!!!

I like when us big guys think of ways that our size helps in cosplaying. I don't cosplay because I don't want to be that fat guy trying to be Superman or in my case The Punisher. I always said if I was going to cosplay, I'd go as the Kingpin or the Blob. haha It's an awesome costume too.

While I may not have a clever GIF to offer in celebration, I will say that this is simultaneously the most awesome and terrifying looking thing I have seen all day. You have made the denizens of Dimension X proud, I'm sure.
