BAD IDEA Storms Comic Shops & Conventions Worldwide With Life-Sized PLANET DEATH Armor From Hollywood Effects Team Behind IRON MAN!

BAD IDEA is incredible proud to announce that we’ve partnered with the Hollywood legends at Legacy Effects to bring PLANET DEATH to life!

The practical special effects magicians at Legacy Effects spent hundreds of hours designing, fabricating, painting and distressing a life-sized version of the Full Combat Battle Armor from PLANET DEATH. Tomás Giorello’s incredible artwork has been brought to life at a full scale of seven-feet and in detail so stunning it must be seen to be believed!

Even better, the armor has been created as a photo display in which you can climb into the hollowed out back and be photographed as if you were wearing your own Full Combat Battle Armor!

We’ll be taking the armor on a whirlwind tour of the globe on the PLANET DEATH ARMOR TOURbeginning at WonderCon in Anaheim, California in just one week!
