Alex the Movie Geek created a life-size Aliens power loader costume. It is a replica of the power loader that Ripley used to fight the Alien Queen in the 'Aliens' movie.
Alex posted the directions for making the power loader costume on Instructables. Constructed of foam board and other materials, this power loader costume was replicated by taking measurments from the Power Loader Sideshow Diorama and scaling them up 8 times to be full-sized. Whether for geeky fun or a bit of mischief around Halloween, the power loader costume is an impressive work of geeky art!
