Who’s bad? You will be when you create this light-up Michael Jackson costume!
This outfit is tricked out with littleBits light wire. To make it, just sew a few light wires into your clothing and become the King of Pop with just a few classic props – a hat, glove, thriller jacket, shoes and socks. Control this outfit from a distance with the wireless receiver and transmitter. Cue up your favorite MJ jamz and rock out!
