Description
The last time Toby the Klingon Targ (or Targh) was at The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo (CCEE or just Calgary Expo) was in 2009 [edit: my mistake! He was there in 2010 as well but skipped 2011], so 2012 was high time for him to show up again ^_^But this time his cow bell sports the swanky signature of Michael Dorn (aka Worf from Star Trek: TNG)!
I wore Toby around the middle of the day on Saturday and then at the end of Sunday. Logged a few more hours on his hooves, figured out a few more things I need to fix, and was reimpressed all over again with the reaction this costume gets from all ages and how fun it is to play - even despite the heatstroke that hits after I go over my limits and the muscle pain/neck strain that last for days afterwards.
The short story is that Toby is officially out of retirement now. Rather than leaving him boxed up, I am going to gradually make him even better and better.
And, Mr Dorn, Toby is always willing to stand in for a photoshoot with you - I can't always control his willful nature but maybe you, as the more experienced klingon, will have better luck

Toby is my favorite quadsuit that I've seen so far. Cool that Michael Dorn signed Toby's bell! Did you get a photo shoot with him?

Oh my god I love the last picture of Toby sitting on that bench. ;DD He is definitely the most amazing quadsuit out there. I hope someday I can see him in person.

Ooooo! That's gotta be killer after a day of adventures. Simply(well, actually complicated. ) amazing work!
You need to write a book on your genius costumes!

Absolutely gorgeous! But-- how does the person FIT in that! Ahaha, it looks quite uncomfortable to be in it too long. You did an epic job managing that anatomy <333
