Sometimes I see costumes so creative I have to stop and give them recognition. Case in point: This Attila costume by Redditor Phantom_Scarecrow. The character Attila appears in Disney’s Tangled as a patron of The Snuggly Duckling. During the song “I’ve Got a Dream,” we learn his dream is baking cupcakes. His cupcakes “are sublime.” He might look like a thug, but he has a baker’s touch — he even has a cupcake tattoo. Phantom_Scarecrow made the Attila costume for Tekko in Pittsburgh and carried around a pan of cupcakes. He even has a tattoo to match Attila’s!
He says:
Steel helmet. Real chain mail. 3d printed belt buckle, studs, harness ring, and horns. I made everything except the cupcake tray and oven mitts.
This is a great example of how fun it can be to pull cosplay inspiration from characters who aren’t necessarily front and center.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
