This New York Comic-Con Steampunk Cosplay Isn’t Just Awesome, It’s Got Attitude

This New York Comic-Con Steampunk Cosplay Isn't Just Awesome, It's Got Attitude We ran a picture of this amazing, hand-made bit of steampunk cosplay earlier today, but I liked it so much I decided to chase the guy down and interview him.

How long did it take to make? What's it made of? What would happen if you really lost your hand? Can you express yourself with that hand? All answered in this short video.
