Hiccup Viking Costume from How to Train Your Dragon 2
Dress up as Viking Warrior / Dragon Rider Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon
This Halloween, due to the success of How to Train Your Dragon 2, there are likely to be many young (and perhaps not so young) Viking dragon rider costumes, like those of grown up Hiccup, voiced again by Jay Baruchel.
The viking warrior / dragon rider costume will be popular with young boys, teens and perhaps even a few 20 somethings. There looks to be an official squirrel flying Hiccup costume for younger boys, but nothing for teens.
Figuring out Astrid's girl Viking Warrior costume was a bit of a challenge. Hiccup's is proving to be even more so, with the custom leather and iron armor. Read on to see what I've figured out so far.
This lens is in progress. Check back to see it develop.
