Every year at Comic-Con, Adam walks through the convention floor disguised in costume. This year, he went as a very uniquely regal version of Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars. In Adam's Cave before SDCC, we examine the Ackbar mask before it's completed and explain its design, creation, and conversion into a wearable piece of cosplay.

Interested in seeing some of Adam Savage's other incognito costume walks? Check out our full playlist: bit.ly/2FrfeJj

What I love about these magnifiers is that it really makes it feel like the eyes are looking at you. That the eyes are focusing on you and following you across the room. That's awesome!

@jasonryals7230 10 лет назад

I really enjoy these vids with Adam. He really seems like a good dude

@smokeydoke100 9 лет назад

GAWD, I want to live next door to Adam!

@Sorrytheusernamenogo 8 лет назад

Take a shot every time Adam says "it's a trap"

@SilentReaperOFC 8 лет назад

IT'S A TRAP!

@timnone2924 8 лет назад

oh my god...i never knew Adam was an actor in a movie. Thats the best thing ive seen all day

@Yotrymp 8 лет назад

8:55 IT'S A STRAP!

@Tonybeanfarm 8 лет назад

I love the order of his costume collection. "Hellboy, Pope 2001, Vader."

@skair5559 9 лет назад

AGHHHHH ACKBAR IS BEAUTIFUL

@blaruesfox1212 9 лет назад

Am I the only one who felt a little disturbed seeing the Adam Death Scene? I think it's cause I think of him in the workshop geek mode

@brandon2076 9 лет назад

Same Here....

@kimaboe 11 лет назад

And he's back on the new season that starts on Tuesday. Hopefully he'll make it far, he's certainly got the experience and skills.

@FoamKittyGamer 11 лет назад

I love the eyes! They look amazing!!!

@Nic_DM 8 лет назад

BLIMEY! 'TIS AN ELABORATE RUSE!

@HappyBirthdayRoboto 11 лет назад

It never ceases to amaze me how talented these guys are!

@mando8925 10 лет назад

Adam makes the coolest costumes in the world, if i had 3 wishes i would only ask for one and that would be if Adam made me a legit Mandalorian bounty hunter costume so i could join the 501st legion

@rocketman3285 5 лет назад

isnt that the elite clone trooper unit? Mandalorians are a completely different army m8

@RickBrode 4 года назад

The 501st doesn’t accept just random bounty hunters does it?

@bolt11200 10 лет назад

that clip where Adam got his scalp pulled off.......... thanks for the nightmares

@sora2534 6 лет назад

I CANT REPEL COSPLAYING OF THIS MAGNITUDE

@Alex-mp4kl 8 лет назад

Holy crap that scalping lol

@youngzm 11 лет назад

Is anyone else's mind blown by seeing the final result? Jesus, amazing art!

@therealsulaco 6 лет назад

I'm gonna go to Comic Con dressed as Adam Savage.

@screenpuller 10 лет назад

Ackbar has always been my favorite! When I was a kid, I had a bunch of Star Wars action figures... the only one I still have is the good admiral. XD

@prnkstr 11 лет назад

I love that Adam keeps doing this year after year! It's so deliciously nerdy of him...

@jimmyjamjar10101 11 лет назад

Im glad your username features both the words "little" and "boy" because it takes a child to find that either or both amusing and worth while.

@CaribouKH 9 лет назад

At 7:00 the costume bags: Hellboy - Pope - Vader... that has to be the only place in the world for that combo.

@ScibyTravels 11 лет назад

Dude, the flip side of that is that Norm cannot keep his hands to himself - he has to touch everything shown. And Norm is acting as the 'everyman' in these situations - Adam is talking to him like he'd be talking to us. Not just that but Adam has earned the right to sound like he's giving a lecture. He's an experienced and knowledgeable expert in his field.

@Blueshirt38 11 лет назад

I don't see why that is surprising, or that incredible. There are thousands of highly detailed, well done Vaders out there. This is so much cooler than Vader.

@EveryDooDarnDiddlyDay 10 лет назад

And at the beginning you could say "It's a Part!"

@tested 11 лет назад

Yup!

@USWaterRockets 11 лет назад

Adam's coat sleeves can't pass over Ackbar hands of that magnitude! Ackbar could not wear that coat. That costume is BUSTED! ;-)

@chancecalkin2596 11 лет назад

Too anyone thinking about making something like this, Even if it's a different head. Research how fursuiters make the jaws move. it's a super easy mechanism to make and if you do it right it's still comfortable.

@JohnnyBComplex 11 лет назад

Adam is such a wonderful nerd Ambassador!

@SethHesio 11 лет назад

I NEED to see Adam Savages pope costume! also I'd like to see him be in drag. "Madam" Savage :)

@marcopolo3001 9 лет назад

Admiral Ackbar was a space arab now??

@jbvap 11 лет назад

It always amazes me what adam can do. hes a genius

@sarasmith8719 6 лет назад

You know those bottle rocket setups that you can step on, maybe you can get one of those compressing things(i dont know the technical term) and have it compress for his eyeys, because if im correct he could move his eyes right?, i migght be completely wrong, but just set up like hydraulics with a thing you can squeeze in your hand.

@sirdrakey 11 лет назад

so awesome! say i see a lot of people when making large hands and such become helpless as you say with makes bathroom breaks fun i bet but not being able to really pick up stuff have you thought of maybe a closed mitten style so as you walk your hand is closed but you can open you hands and open a flap in the palms?

@zelinkrocks1 11 лет назад

Adam is a cosplayer?! Awesome. :D Secret identities and stuff.

@1AngrySloth 11 лет назад

Adam once said that he use the full costume because he dont want the fans to follow him... well i guess if you go to the comic-con and you see the most outstanding costume you ever seen its a 100% Adam in that

@CeeKayz0rz 8 лет назад

No way!!! Adam was in a horror flick!? MUST SEE!! Also, "He's my second-favorite nonhuman character, and I feel like we've done him justice...." Yes, yes you have... Great work, everyone! :D

@tetsuoswrath 6 лет назад

Admiral Ackbar: Our cruisers can't repel fire of that magnitude! Lando: That's what she said! *high fives Nien Nunb :{J

@kattphive 11 лет назад

the video was all the way at the 11 min mark before I noticed the POW option. never seen it before, it adds a comic book effect

@OlivioSarikas 11 лет назад

why is there a hand drawn map of our solar system in the background? :)

@theChoffa 11 лет назад

okay now I see why that kid went: "That costume's so good it can only be Adam Savage" :O

@christopherlloyd3760 7 лет назад

I so badly wanted it to be a white navy dress uniform

@chanemansends 8 лет назад

Hey adam, if you are still looking for less bulbous eyes for your Admiral Ackbar costume I would try lenses from an old back projection tv.

@OozyGorilla 11 лет назад

Anyone else never heard of Night of the Little Dead but now wants to see it just because Adam is in it?

@DarioDarrow 3 года назад

Revisinting here after Frank made all the masks for The Mandalorian 🙌

@grimsoul0 8 лет назад

They guy that done the mold for him, Frank Ippolito, I remember seeing him on Face Off

@TheRobq7 11 лет назад

You guys really need to make a play list titled "Adam's Man Cave/Shop" and BTW I would love to see a video about Adam's Carbonite Han Solo....... Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaasssseeeee

@SpitOutable 11 лет назад

Costumes, Hellboy is my all time favorite!

@opadrinho7577 11 лет назад

My eyes instantly locked on Vader but then I started to read and others and ye, lol at the Pope xD

@matthewszostek1819 4 года назад

I hope he replicates and sells the original mold. Something like that needs to be available to everyone.

@albertvarland1156 11 лет назад

Fifth element gun in the background :P Love that gun

@GubberBunny 11 лет назад

Sometime on tested you guy should show us Adam's costume collection

@Doctor_Sawbones 11 лет назад

DAMN IT! I looked right into Adam Savage's eyes and I didn't even know it was him!

@BradyKenniston 11 лет назад

Adam definitely missed an opportunity at 8:53 to say, "It's a strap!"

@peerlessanaconda2337 8 лет назад

I love that not to scale drawing of the solar system adam has in the background.

@KaldraJayd 11 лет назад

I love how Ackbar is always staring at me from any angle.

@lemonbob8312 8 лет назад

I always tought it was: Adam Sanwich (seriously)

@SethHesio 11 лет назад

I'd REEALLY like to see that.

@zaczac5281 4 года назад

IT'S A TRAP!! it never gets old, doesn't it?

@arbockain4273 8 лет назад

+Tested i feel like adam would have been able to make a way to connect the bottom part of the mask's mouth to is own chin in order to move it, could that have worked?

@Apropoetic 11 лет назад

I was curious about what that was and was definitely surprised when I clicked on it.

@jajodom3 11 лет назад

would of loved to see this in person

@narrator69 8 лет назад

perhaps a rig run off his voice and using a servo to run the jaw would have worked, could be built into the dead space on top of Adam's head in the mask.

@carlrichardson5347 6 лет назад

Its Nice to see this costume. I like these Tested shows i also like all the old film props my favourite sci fi movie is the empire strikes back i think IT is a masterpiece and different from a new hope and return of the jedi.

@raheslop 7 лет назад

I think the eyes might have been made from the front lenses from Strand Patt 23 lights, I've know proof by they look very close and where something that the studios would have had knocking around in the late 70s

@Zaldermenia 11 лет назад

I love this channel--it covers all my geeky needs!

@ambismagee3207 9 лет назад

I'd love to see more info on making the mask fit Adam perfectly. The fitting of the mask mold to Adam's head lifecast and the foam latex injection! Hard to find good info on youtube.

@darkmerrygoround 9 лет назад

i love how V is just in the background :D did he wear that in a con too?

@cadilovr 11 лет назад

I found him within 5 minutes on his twitter post. Great costume.

@bangbang51211 10 лет назад

Adam could have made a simple circuit using his mouth as a switch to trigger a motor that would open and close the mouth it wouldn't be very hard. but this is an amazing mask.

@Appletank8 11 лет назад

Damn. Adam has a lot of sweet stuff in there.

@theevilig88srevenge 10 лет назад

could you guys please make a cave video showing all of adams costumes?

@mathijssmith 11 лет назад

you should do an episode about all those costumes next to the Master and commander one. ( how many are there, what are they)

@jackbegley1 11 лет назад

OMG, the pow button, it's brilliant!

@lasarith2 8 лет назад

Brilliant, after many, many videos trying to learn this again after 24 year layoff, this is the one I have been looking for -Especially the website link -Thanks Adam 😀 and a Special thanks to admiral ackbar😉

@codymoffitt6375 9 лет назад

I have seen the original starwars props like clones and chubacka and stuff like that

@TheNetsrac 11 лет назад

So much awesome stuff on this channel. Keep up the good work guys =)

@jackfry 11 лет назад

These videos are so awesome!

@JadeGordon 11 лет назад

That was awesome! Tiny request: If there's going to be (fake, I know) gore, can we get a warning up front? Just a quick blip at the intro?

@1DeadlySAMURAI 11 лет назад

I've never heard "It's a trap" so many times is such as quick succession before.

@knighthawk404 11 лет назад

One wonders if this might be an option at DragonCon later this month.

@stupidburp 11 лет назад

Should add a speaker in the mouth and play samples of the movie quotes. Or a voice modulator tuned to approximate Ackbar's voice.

@Byronjojo 10 лет назад

Wow i didn't know Adam was such a savage!!

@yar_n4130 10 лет назад

Not funny, this deserves a harsh Yelp review.

@OldBuford 6 лет назад

9:28 Norm-"aw you cant hold anything?!" i imagine in Norms world, not being able to touch things would be worse than death

@DismasBeats 11 лет назад

Adam is awesome!

@JIMMYJREVIEWS_thaiM-A-F-I-A 6 лет назад

I would like to see him go incognito as Jamie !!! 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

@Replayability 11 лет назад

Jamie Hyneman walks in and says "why does it smell like somebody peed on a birthday cake in here?"

@EricErb 11 лет назад

Writing this as if my advice would ever get back to Adam... The lenses from a rear projection television would be perfect for Admiral Ackbar's eyes... Not to mention people throw them away everyday so they're free.

@kuratr 11 лет назад

Holy crap! There's a "POW" button on the youtube player to Comic-ify the whole video!

@MD_Builds 7 лет назад

Im discovering much of the bits i want to see (the how it was made bits) is on the premium site :( Im poor so cant sign up... Shame...

@sh3n3ng 11 лет назад

Love the admiral cosplay.

@ialyxxiieee 11 лет назад

no one can make a costume of that magnitude !

@ziggyzack1234 11 лет назад

Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer.

@JoshuaMeshua 8 лет назад

Drinking game/easy way to hospital -Take a shot everytime you hear 'It's a trap!'

@darthvader6687 8 лет назад

To much apple juice for me

@deekman1989 11 лет назад

Well he's a movie prop maker. He's built props used in the Star Wars prequels, A.I., Galaxy Quest, Bicentennial Man, the Matrix trilogy, and plenty of other stuff. When it comes to the stuff that he makes these videos about, I think it's not so much that he can't do it, but rather a mix of he knows people that specialize in certain skill sets and just not having the time. Look at his legit Deckard pistol. His scratch built took him 7 years and he's still not quite done.

@allluckyseven 11 лет назад

Good Lord, Adam! How many costumes do you have??

@allluckyseven 11 лет назад

Let's see how many of the costumes I can list, based on the 7:00 shot. Jack Sparrow, Hellboy, Pope 2001 (?), Vader, BSG Flightsuit, Joker, Indiana Jones, ..., Brazil Torturer (?), Jack Aubrey, Airline Pilot (?), ...Game (?)... The rest is unreadable.
