LEGO Ref Costume

Hello,

I just wanted to email you guys some pictures of a Lego Ref that I made for this years Halloween, although I did not buy the plans from your site (on a budget, sorry), your website gave me the idea and deserves full credit for all of these lego costumes spawning up all over the place.

I am the Head Ref for the orange county roller girls, and I wore this costume at a baby bout (newer skaters) that we had over the weekend. The costume went down fantastic (with the unfortunate side effect that the kids flocked around it too).

I also wanted to give you a heads up (maybe to include in your plan notes) that for a time saver, Michaels sells 15 7/8ths foam “wreaths” which are about 2inches thick and have a nice radius on one face. They also have 11 inch wreaths and circular sheets and blocks of various sizes. Using all of these I made the head out of partially pre-fabricated pieces, it probably shaved two nights of polystyrene hell from the costume process.

Cheers!

I bought your plans last week and got to work. Well, after a few days, it’s a bit different than your plans, but I figured you’d like to check it out anyway. I had to shrink things down a bit to fit my 9-year-old son Dayton, and I didn’t like the way the posterboard looked on the head so I made it entirely of styrofoam. Attached is a picture (a lousy one from my phone) of the final product. I didn’t bother making legs since I knew he’d be trick-or-treating and they’d probably serve as an impediment.

Here are some pics of my kids (2 boys – age 7 and 1 girl – age 11) as Lego people. We started off thinking we would make Lego pieces (to form a larger Lego-something when we came together). Instead, the kids suggested being Lego guys. I googled “Lego guy” and that’s when I came across your website and knew right away what we should do. I couldn’t find any directions for kids so I winged it based on the great photos on your website. The kids had a great time with it and were a hit in the neighborhood!

Thanks!
