Not content with three-leg😼ged races, hockey games or tossin' the ole ball around, one U.S. father and son team is bonding over the construction of one of 🍌the world's most elaborate, kid-sized Metroid-themed cosplay costumes to date.

Entitled "Project: Varia," J🍨oseph DeRose and his pops are currently one-quarter of their way into a massive DIY project that will see a fully-functional Metrꩵoid Prime-esque Varia suit built and operational by Halloween (minus the actual weaponry. Or so we hope).

Wondering how to create 🥀an arm cannon? Let Mr. DeRose shꦏow you the way...

Normally, this is where we'dꦕ crack wise about Joseph not having any particular party to go t🙈o withhis Varia suit, but Joseph seems like a pretty cool cat and this is one of the finest displays of fan dedication we've seen in a while. That said, Joseph is more than welcome to pop by anywhere we areon Halloweenfor a few non-alcoholic beverages.

Keep up with the DeRose's progress at the.
