This is me in my Emperor's Royal Guard costume...
i bought it from some guy on ebay for about $50 and he overcharged me about $10 on shipping
the helmet was missing the smoke lens and got cracked in shipping due to poor packaging.
it was still a pretty good deal though. i just had to buy some black leather gloves and I was good to go.
Holoween 2001, I went to a party put on by Planet 95 (the local 80's station) at a dance club called Crocodiles here in Modesto.
I won the best overall costume contest, a statue and $50. pretty cool. except you can't breath in that helmet. so that wasn't cool.
this is the force pike i made out of stuff i found at the hardware store for about $15. the pole itself is a length of pvc pipe and the end is electrical tape and an extention cord plug thing. the tip is one of those things you twist wires together with. the rings are made of some pipe connector things that i trimmed down. i painted the whole thing black, then several coats of silver. it needs some touching up though.
