YT: Ever year, Adam Savage walks the floor of Comic-Con incognito, hidden in plain view wearing one of his elaborate cosplay costumes. This year, Adam debuts a costume he has been working on for almost a decade: a perfect replica of the environmental space suit from Ridley Scott's Alien.

MythBusters star Adam Savage is kind of the unofficial king of Comic-Con — he's got the nerd credibility from being a driving force behind renewed interest in sciences, but he also really loves to play dress up. The Con is just his stage, the Con-goers his audience, and we've got an exclusive look at the show he put on this week.
Savage had not one but two very elaborate spacesuit costumes, both rendering him completely unreconizable to play his favorite annual game on the convention hall floor: Adam Incognito. We've got exclusive behind-the-scenes video of Adam getting ready, walking the floor, and posing with fans in his Alien replica ("That's the coolest," one girl says), along with photos showing the detail on the elaborate costume, which he says took him 10 years to build.

spawnflaggersays...awesome suit, but he should have built some kind of refrigeration unit into the backpack...
antsays...I wonder how many people recognize who it was inside.
jmdsays...Yea awesome suit.. wish he spent like a fraction of the time making that sucker working out a more active circulated cool suit. A vest that works on the same principals as the ice pack in my fridge is destined to last just as long.
