I was ready to be all “THIS GUY IS A MORON”, but the suit looks great. Really great. I wish I could see it in motion.

It’s also a great way to get some free exercise.
Unfortunately for me, it looks like the kind of costume that would make me sweat like a pig, and I’m not sure it would be wise to pass it in the washer …

OK, I just have to ask: Why *real* rocks? I mean, you could just as easily mimic the texture with foam or sponges or SOMETHING lighter than actual stone. No doubt, it looks awsome, but that thing has to be exhausting to wear.
