    I just see #8s as being pot head Preditors. And #10 has a real preditor in it down near the bottom. These are all pretty good. Better then I could do.

    what is it with cosplayers and sticking giant mammary glands on things that are obviously not mammals?

    @Smeagol92055: i think you're missing the point. all the females cosplaying predators could just as easily take the mask off and deem it a cosplay of kerrigan. that's what i'd call a win/win.

    @tetracycloide: Keep in mind that we have a very limited knowledge of predator biology. It's not as if anyone ever sat down with a predator and a questionnaire. For all we know, they might nurse their young. I would even be willing to bet that a sufficiently dedicated google search would allow one to find a great deal of theoretical case-studies and anatomical diagrams trying to make a case for predator mammaries, but I will leave that as an exercise for the reader.

    From the photographic evidence we are presented with, we would have more luck determining which outfits are meant as ceremonial garb, and which are designed for functional use. My theory would be that while the outfit in image 21 is quite likely practical attire, the outfits in 6a and 16 are almost certainly not intended for any sort of active use, simply due to the noticable lack of support.

    @Hamslicer: It all depends on when their teeth grow in. For all we know, they may not grow their adult teeth until after they stop nursing. We just have little information on their childhood development, and likely never will until someone greenlights "Predator vs. Kindergarten Cop".

    those are amazing. I can't believe the accuracy of the faces.

    Personally, I'd do a Predator / Batz Maru hybrid, with plushy fur.

    While wearing my TIE Interceptor Pilot costume and riding my motorcycle, I was pulled over by two police officers. The Sergeant walked up and asked, "What in the WORLD are you doing?" I explained how the backpack ventilator worked, and the voice warping amp, plus the wireless sound system in the helmet. He was confused.
    Well, it WAS July... #starwars

    Thanks for the cutout-masks. It's been awhile since I've had a C-3PO's flashback.

    One of the best promotional cereal repackagings of the 80's. Same cereal went into C-3PO's and Iron Man (like the triathalon, not the alcoholic). They didn't even try to make it look SW themed.

    Ah....sugary memories. #starwars

    @bonniegrrl: As a kid I got a crochet and beer can hat for a Christmas present once from some relative. I never wore it and I can't even remember who gave it to me.

    That person is so lucky I don't remember. At least it wasn't a pink bunny suit though... #starwars

    If I ever have kids, one will be wearing that Yoda costume.

    For now though, I foresee my black lab as Vader, and I know a pomeranian I can easily make into an Ewok.
