Halloween Costume Idea: Han Solo in Trapped in Carbonite

Earlier this year, Solo: A Star Wars Story became the franchise’s first bomb. (It took in $400 million at the worldwide box office, but reportedly needed to make $500 million just to break even.) So it’s unclear how many people will be dressing up as Alden Ehrenreich’s rendition of the character this Halloween. Fans of the Empire Strikes Back version of Han, however, might be thrilled to pony up for this costume:

The “Star Wars Adult Inflatable Han Solo Carbonite Costume” comes from Japan, judging by the instructions. Interestingly, it comes with a fan to keep the inflatable “carbonite” rectangle rigid.

It runs about 90 bucks, but I’m thinking any ID student or industrial designer worth their salt ought be able to DIY one of these up. If you get started now, you’ll have about six weeks. Be sure to send a photo in if you tackle it!
