Watch a preview of what’s in store for the colossal creature, created in collaboration with the Stan Winston School, Legacy Effects, Stratasys, and WIRED. From design to tech and prototype to finished product, see how the ultimate cosplay creation came to life.

It's time to choose a concept for this year's giant creature. The only requirements this time around? It needs to be bigger and better, with even more innovative features. Watch as the team at the Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects choose a final design for the massive monster.
