This guy designed this costume on his own and let me say, it definitely something different. There are six legs involved; two legs are the chicken-walker legs, two legs are seated and two legs to power the costume. No the instructions do not teach you to make a real chicken-walker, this is just a costume and you power it with your own two legs.
While not fast enough to keep up with 6-year-old trick-or-treaters as they went from house to house, I was still able to walk down the street and show off to passers by. The most common reaction was along the lines of “Wow! That’s the coolest costume I’ve ever seen — what the heck are you?!? I also got little kids (and some older kids, who really should know better) asking me how the thing was powered, several adults admitting they couldn’t figure out how the thing worked, and at least one little girl bursting into tears as she saw me ambling towards her. All in all, I’d say it was a big success :).
So if you want a cool costume that makes little kids cry and adults look like idiots then go check out how to make your very own steampunk chicken-walker.
