Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Totoro Costume!

Here's how Adam Savage built his amazing Totoro cosplay that he wore at New York Comic Con! In this One Day Build, Adam shows us how he designed the costume to be lightweight and collapsible, how he formed Totoro's iconic shape, and the little details that brought the huggable character to life!

23:20 Adam loses all sense of maturity and reverts mentally to his 10 year old self
23:47 Adam cackles maniacally at his creation

[MadDuckInc]

His glee over the soft belly is one of the purest things I've ever seen

[timnone]

i cant imagine watching anyone else do something like this for 40 minutes, something about Adam just makes this really enjoyable and interesting

[PeterPan-slhd]

Make a Baymax from Big Hero 6 cosplay costume next !!! :D

[Volvary]

That moment when you realize Adam is so entertaining to watch that there is no music for most of the video's length.

Me: I am not going to watch 40 Minutes of an adult man making a costume
Also me, 40 minutes later: Totally worth it

Adam cursing at how cute totoro looks is my aesthetic

[allianceakins]

Can we appreciate the fact that this grown man, who we all look up to, uses the word "tummy"? He is a true inspiration.

I feel like this is "Adam Savage shows how much effort cosplayers put into cosplay by making his own"

[seigedrakonera]

I know that most find it a minor detail with the claws being bendy an thus safe for the people around him, but its nice he's considerate about outhers around him becuse I've been snagged, bruised and even stabbed by cosplayers costumes.

Its sometimes unavoidable but its good to at least have personal awareness if you are going to be a porcupine. 😸

[PunkrGirl]

Adam is so cool! Just realised I've been a fan of his for over a decade now, which kinda makes me feel old lol.

5:44 "I don't have some kind of special expert knowledge that nobody else has, I just learned this from a personal conversation with the guy who built and operated Big Bird"

[mariatj]

I feel like he’s the Bob Ross of DIY’s

Or Bob Ross is the painters Adam Savage

He’s very relaxing to listen to, that’s my point.

[madibrzezinski]

This video just shows how much Adam loves his “handsome boy” Totoro

[jemsultan]

Adam, Thank you for this build. It has given me the best way to build a Snorlax cosplay outfit.

[MWeiss-ciqs]

As an amateur seamstress, I love seeing Adam with buckets of quilting clips, bolts of muslin, and the exact same machine I use. It's so wonderful seeing people outside of the direct sewing community using and respecting my craft as something more than 'a granny thing'.

[chrpnll]

This is what I want from tested. So good and not overproduced <3

[akayukilucifel]

Proceeds to install mini fridge and snack pouch.
Never leaves Totoro ever again.

You helped me so much figure out how to make my little brothers Totoro, instead of the camera system cause it was for such a small con, we figured out that we could fake the nose and used that as his way of seeing out. It turned out wonderfully. thank you, Love watching your work, keep at it!
