During a routine check on the view
count for our Lamb of God - Ghost Walking music video (364,882 views,
as of today) I noticed an interesting “Top Comment.”
With 12 thumbs up, from
MrShotgunChicken, “I am going to Cosplay as Goggles man in this
video, at Comic Con 2012, on Sunday! :D.”
Be still my
beating heart.
With bated breath, I sent MrShotgunChicken a DM asking for photographic evidence of this historic moment so that,
years from now, we can point to the exact moment when we “made it.”
And so it was that was that we were
treated to seeing these fabulous photos:
Assuming the role of the nameless
protagonist from the video is one, Mr. Zach Buettner a.k.a. MrShotgunChicken. Moving through the one and only SDCC,
adopting the battle-wound pose--complete with rifle-crutch, the
Goggles Man limped and staggered off the small screen and into real life.
With a great
eye to detail, Zach has lovingly crafted this fantastic cosplay,
demonstrably solidifying his place apparently, as MoreFrames' biggest
fan (Shuttup! Let us have this! It's us he loves, not LoG!)
I tell you that it is a surreal
experience to see something jump from your imagination right into the
real world. And also it is a great feeling to know that, even though
we are not quite there ourselves--to be present or exhibiting at
SDCC, MoreFrames was, in some small way, represented at the con to
end all cons. Thank you Mr. Zach Buettner, we are very honored.
ha! that's awesome
