I made this costume from scratch based on the Mass Effect 2 character Garrus before he takes the rocket to his face.

This Garrus project was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. The costume has at least 75 LED's on/in it! But the lighting is one of the things that attracted me to this costume. I especially enjoyed the eye gear. Photos and videos just do not capture how neat the eye piece looks. I think the whole costume requires nine 9V batteries if you want the lights to work for a few hours. Fortunately, the armor is very lightweight, including the massive chest piece which I designed to split into two pieces for shipping and transport. And I am aware that Garrus does not have a tail- I just forgot to attach the butt plate strap before the video.

Some people have asked about the comfort of the feet. I would imagine it's just like walking around in high heels. I slip my feet with shoes on them into the spandex socks and strap them to the support structure on the inside. It is fairly comfortable if you are standing still, but I would not want to walk a parade route in these feet. Props to all the ladies who wear high heels.
