iGT had the pleasure of featuring Volpin Props‘ incredible work in the past, and it is exciting to be able to feature more of Harrison Krix’s (the founder and excellent craftsmen of Volpin Props) work. This time around, Harrison took on the feat of creating a monstrous costume of Big Daddy from 2k GamesBioShock. On top of that feat, he fabricated Little Sister’s ADAM syringe as well. Harrison premiered his great cosplay at Dragon Con 2009. This amazing project took over 7 weeks for Harrison to design and fabricate and it took just as long to convince the Georgia Aquarium to allow his to do a photo shoot of his costume. Harrison’s hard work and constant communication with the aquarium paid off. With the services of photographer Matthew Nicholson of Dim Horizon Studios, Harrison’s BioShock cosplay gets the amazing spotlight it deserves. Amazing.

Hit the jump to check out some of the great collections of photos from the photoshoot and information on how Harrison made it!

Figure designer and producer, NECA’s newest addition to their extensive “Player Select” (action figures based on video game characters) line will be Big Daddy from everyone’s favorite steampunk first person shooter game, Bioshock!

BioShock was 2007 best reviewed game, and 2K Boston/2K Australia will be releasing the along awaited follow up, BioShock 2 in January 2009. Big Daddy is going to be one of the largest 7 inch action figure NECA will have ever produced. Don’t let the sheer size of the figure fool you as the figure will feature a ton of articulation points and removable armor features. No word on whether NECA will produce a Little Sister figure to accompany Big Daddy, but my itchy trigger finger is dying to blast both of them in the next game.
