Tested Builds: Real-Life LEGO MiniFig Cosplay!
Our latest project with Frank Ippolito lives at the intersection of creepy and amazing. For this year’s Comic-Con, Frank designed, sculpted, and painted a LEGO-inspired mask, made to look like a real-life version of a minifig. We’re calling it the creeppyfig, and it found its way home wandering through Comic-Con’s exhibit hall.

Before the Bear Walk – Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project – 7/26/16
This week’s episode of Still Untitled was recorded on location at this year’s Comic-Con, just before Adam’s incognito walk through the show floor. Adam, Norm, and Simone talk about their favorite things seen so far, cosplay, and scooting around San Diego on electric skateboards.
Adam Savage Incognito as a Bear at Comic-Con 2016!
It’s time for Adam’s Incognito walk through San Diego Comic-Con! This year, Adam’s costume is a creature of his own creation–a bear suit that’s more realistic than cartoonish. But he also couldn’t help making it pop-culture related, so he made it inspired by the Leonardo DiCaprio film, The Revenant, complete with a Leo prop!
