"Fantasy" goggles

[Onryou]

I was looking at the Halo Armor that Nightmare Armor makes and a thought came to me. Why couldn't manufacturers make goggle systems that looked like that? Or any other sci-fi/fantasy headgear? They would be perfect for scenario games, and all it would need is a different mold for the mask part. They wouldn't have to be solid, they could be vented normally just so long as they have the shape.

It's for promotions and mascot stuff I'm guessing... or maybe just dressing up and scaring the kiddies during halloween

Don't under estimate the "Geek market". How many HALO fans with too much money would like a set of Halo armor? Probably a lot. Go to a con in it, get more photos taken of you than you then ever before.

It's like showing up to the field in new DYE clothing when everyone else has thier BDU's on?

It might be a hit with the scenario crowd. I've seen some pictures of some really cool costumes that folks have made up for this or that event.
Personally, I'd like a Strom Trooper Scout mask.
As for cons, we have areally small Sci Fi/Fantasy con every years here in Albuquerque called Bubonicon, last year some dude showed up in Sand Trooper armor, complete with a light repeating blaster. I thought it was cool and all, but I thought he was a tad dumb for showing up like that during a New Mexico Summer.

That's true... Heck, I'd want that halo or deepeyes suit just for the sake of using it as a display piece. It'd be great for conversation. And if things really get boring, you could walk around in the suit. If that thing was atsm(or whatever that safety standard is called) approved, I'd probably wear one of those suits to the field... or maybe jsut the helmet.

Ive got the same setup. The green Morph w/gold mirror lense has a more HALOish look though.

Sweet I was wonder how I could get heat stroke next! I will just whip on some cool looking armor grab my marker and run around outside while its 85 with a dewpoint of 80.:D

but it would be cool for Shatnerball or some other games.

[TheDuelist]

Try 95 degree temps with 100% humidity. You need gills to breath down here.

[1stdeadeye]

Maybe for a fall/winter game. But for a spring/summer game, you would die in that stuff!!!

[Pacifist_Farmer]

yeah it always struck me as a good idea to put on my 3700 dollar molded suit and play paintball

getting hit of course would probably destroy the suit

You probably couldn't get around very well either.

Yep! But you'd have a damn fun time wasting 4000 dollars in a few minutes! :p

Like I said, if the suit met saftey standards (which it most likely doesn't), I would give it a try. But since it probably doesn't, the suit would break... If it did though... that'd make an awesome scenario suit if it was ventilated somehow.

I want to play paintball in a giant sport-mascot suit. Like Crunch the T-wolf.

A quote from their FAQ page

"We use a lot of materials. It starts off with our sculptures being molded over with silicon molding material. Then we apply industrial mother molds. The suit is cast out of industrial plastic. It's similar to medical grade plastic and as strong as fiberglass. The suit will weigh around 40-45 pounds and is distributed throughout your entire body. Although the costume armor is very durable, it is not bullet proof. It will easily stand up to a paintball. Keep in mind we will not give out all our secrets. So don't ask."


The faq page is pretty cool: http://www.nightmarearmor.com/FAQ.html

You have no idea what I would do for a full suit of HALO armour! I mean not just plastic, I mean like a genuine suit. That would be awesome to wear.

Not on the field though, or coarse. I personally dont think it would be that cool to have a HALO mask on the feild because what good is the mask without the armour? And you would look like an idiot. haha, But you can go on and start your own trend. :p

[Wes Janson]

Indeed, duelist. You know it's bad when at 6 PM the temperature outside has dropped to about 96/98 degrees. When you can walk out onto the back porch at dusk, sit down for five minutes, and stand up sweating....
