This Reinhardt costime took 18 months to make, weighs roughly 45 pounds, and comes in just under 7′. It’s mostly made of EVA foam with a PVC frame, but it’s also paneled in Palight (Sintra, aerated PVC). It has over 150 LED’s controlled by 2 NeoPixel trinkets plus a LED ring, fan and mirror arrangement for the rocket thruster on his back.

The hands were 3D printed and designed in Fusion 360. The right hand is controlled manually with struts to the elbow, while the left hand is closed by 3 servos with a thumb switch near his elbow.
