Full Sandman costume..I have gone full nerd!

[Bryancd]

Well, as promised, here's the whole shebang! I'm really happy with how this all turned out. I have wanted to be a Sandman since I was 8 years old and saw the movie in 1976 and read the film novel a dozen or more times. 35 years later, i got my wish. Enjoy my mighty nerdness!   :big grin

Holy frak!  That is really great looking Bryan.  The whole ensemble is really amazing.  And the working deep sleep gun is just the icing on the cake.  Definitely should be proud of this!  :)

I am so out of the whole comic book thing, I never even thought about that! Is that where that's from?

There's the original silver age Sandman which was kind of a Batman-esque crimefighter in a trenchcoat and gas mask.  But the one I'm referring to is the more recent one, where Neil Gaiman created an incredible universe populated by the "Endless", personifications of Death, Destiny, Despair, Delirium, Destruction, Desire, and the title character, Dream, also known as the Sandman.  It's a fantastic, wildly popular series than ran for 75 issues in the 90s, not including spinoffs and one-shots.  They've all been collected several times in graphic novels, and even if you're not a comic fan in general I think you'd really enjoy reading this just for the brilliance of the writing and artwork.  Check it out Bry, and if you do...you can start with the second volume "A Doll's House" which in my opinion is the best of the series, and would make you want to go back and read the whole thing.

Nice. I have fond memories of the film and TV series and the whole Sandman look. You couldn't try that act over here though. The gun would get you arrested!

How hard was it to actually wear a shirt for that video? ;)

Sheer torture. I may have to modify the top to the post cub encounter ripped version Michael York wore. :)
