Amazing Garthim Cosplay from THE DARK CRYSTAL
I remember first seeing the Garthim creatures in Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. I wasn’t a big fan of bugs, so they kind of scared the hell out of me. Well, cosplayer Ryan Wells has amazingly brought that creature to life with a costume he built. It took him two months to make, and it turned out wonderfully creepy. Below you can find some photos taken by Jeff Hinds and a video of Ryan walking around in his costume. In case you need a little background info on the Garth, here ya go!
The Garthim were the strike force of the Skeksis, powered by The Dark Crystal. They were created after the Skeksis discovered the prophecy revealing that a Gelfling would reverse The Great Division. The word “Garthim” is a plural noun, with no singular.
