Remember the rad to the power of sick steampunk Iron Man costume that took first place at NYCC’s Marvel costume contest? Well it turns out the tricky little SOB behind the suit just repainted a Tin Man costume. I HOPE YOU GET TETANUS.

The suit was originally a steampunk Tin Man from the indie short film Heartless. Then the assistant to the director of the film repainted it, added some new touches and wore it to ComicCon.

The director was pretty pissed when he found out about it, but the two of them seem to be OK now.

Well thank God they kissed and made up, I’d hate for this thing to have ended in homicide. “Awh GW, you’re just saying that so you don’t seem like such a sicko.” So sue me!

Update: steampunk Iron Man costume actually the Tin Man [dvice]
