Calling All Parents

Forget that Santa costume, this is what you really need to scare the little ones out of their socks....

Geez man, that thing scares ME!

My son is terrified of anyone in a costume and that thing would traumatize him for life.

Amusing update edit:
I showed these pictures to my kids and my son acted fairly amused, although he did admit it was a little creepy. My daughter reacted in mock terror with a melodramatic screech!

Edit the edit: Chris mentioned a Santa costume and my son claims that being made to sit in Santa’s lap for a photo some years ago is what traumatized him for life with regards to fear of people in costumes. Yep, Mrs OTR and I are awesome, A+ Gold Star parents, alright! :blush:

LOL...that looks comfortable. Could this be costumes for a Parade.

It's on AliExpress.

Hmmm...wonder what would be a reason for someone to purchase one of these, what would they wear it for and how many events would one have plans to wear it to justify the expense....curious minds want to know.

So which character did you order Dr Chris?

I have some suspicions and I’d honestly rather never confirm them! :s

I recall seeing this in a fake article about the TTTE fanbase (I can't find it anymore, but I know images of this costume were used on it). Toz76 from the real fanbase left a comment on it and, among other things, pointed out how we don't dress up as engines.

Even the official ones that look like vests or have the engine around the body are far superior, such as this Percy:

Looks like a mutated Telly Tubby lol

Inflatable Fat Controller Suit. Don't even ask.

LOL...that looks like it is filled with air. Wonder if it comes with tethers so the wearer won't blow away.
