What should I be for Holloween?

I have a few ideas.

Scareface Tony. This one is easy since I have a red shirt, just need to go to Goodwill and get a white suite. My friends Airsoft gun will work perfectly for my "little friend".

30's Gangster with stripped suite.

Or Mustang:

Or SG1, if I can get the stuff cheap enough at the surplus store.
Those jackets and vests are probably $$$$ though.

I was going to do a Castle Crasher, but I don't have the time to make it. I have two good Holloween party's to go to this year.

Be a construction worker, you already have the clothes for that, and that way you don't have to spend any money...

"Bond. James Bond."

Halloween is a work day this year. I'm thinking of renting a tuxedo to wear at work, just to play with people's minds.

Wow, the green army men are great!

You have to consider where you're wearing the costume. Depending on the crowd, a lot of them don't get the anime costumes even if they're well done and it'll be a major let-down because nobody knows who you are.

On the other hand, if it is an anime friendly crowd, Mustang is a very popular character and you'll get a lot of attention from the girls...

The more generic or popular costumes play well at general parties and gatherings.

Yeah a couple of people did Mustang at the convention and I gotta say it was a very cool costume. Still most people wouldn't have a clue, save that one for next years event http://www.cosplay.com/event/943/photos/

SG1 also wouldn't be too hard to pull of and technically Atlantis would be even easier. If your going to get a vest/harness get one that you can use to do work as well.

Mustang is kick ass.

I'd do Zero but I'm to fat, thanks to clamp you have to be rail thin to make those work.

Hattie is just using this mispelling to point out how "hollow" this holiday really is.
