"John Carter" - oh, dear...

[Kurisu]

I remember the Giant Robo costume that stomped on stage at the 1999 San Diego Comic Con. That was epic.

I personally know the guy!! ...and helped him with it. Yea, the moment he got off-stage he was shedding it as quickly as possible. (while trying not to ruin it. He told me that some company offered him some serious penny for the costume.)

WOW!!! Really? Tell him for me that he's still remembered by many of us old-school anime fans who were there. It was so very much a "SQUEEEE!!!" moment. Seriously jaw dropping.
And how'd you help? Construction? Or backstage helping him stay upright and pointed the right way? Either way - applause to you for helping.

During the construction I was only a tool monkey, painter, and cutter. During the Con I was a Stage Ninja / Anime Room worker / Photo Pit wrangler. (sigh) Those were the days....
(BTW, I know it's not Comic-Con footage, but it's the Costume.)
