The other costume... the Beast

Before I make the Wampa I want to share with you the other costume that started it all, the Beast. The Beast was also a 7 foot tall costume that won me over $3000 in costume contests and even was featured on the Discovery Channel's You Spoof Discovery. It was made of solid foam glued to a painters jumpsuit covered in fur and had arm extensions made off of forearm crutches. It was modified many times and eventually had to be retired because of storage and I knew it was time for a new one.
