Cosplay Video of Walking TARS from INTERSTELLAR

TARS was an unexpectedly awesome character in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Because of the amount of practical effects and the seamless CGI, the blocky metal TARS has an undeniable presence. Cosplay artist Iain Heath created this walkable TARS replica/suit over three months.

Heath talks about the suits other features (via Fashionably Geek):

The replica uses two iPads as computer readouts, and features a camera/monitor system to allow me to see in front of it. It also has an audio system, allowing me to talk to people or play sound effects. Everyone seemed enthralled by the thing, and we got a lot of love from the convention-goers. It was a great experience and I hope to lug TARS to other conventions over the course of 2015.

I think the best part of this cosplay is that even when Heath is not in it, he can enjoy having it standing in his living room.

This is my full-sized walking replica of the robot TARS from the movie Interstellar. It took 3 months to build, and was unveiled at Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle) in March 2015, where it interacted with the public and even won me the "One To Watch" award in the costume contest!
