A HAND crafted costume which is the only one of its type in the world will be on display at Akoonah Park Market this weekend.
Cranbourne man Gary Lambert has finally laid his hands on a Transformers costume he has been after for many years.
The owner of Laugh Out Loud Costumes in Cranbourne South will be the envy of many when he shows of his new Transformers costume.
“It’s the only one that’s ever been brought into the country and is all hand crafted,” Mr Lambert said.
The costume shop owner said he will have a stall at the Akoonah Park Market this coming Sunday where everyone can see his latest addition.
Most funds raised from his set up on the day will go to the Kmart Wishing Tree appeal in the lead up to Christmas.
Mr Lambert said the costume originally came from the Philippines and it is “something he has always looked for”.
He said a man from Sydney hired it for his wife’s birthday party but had no room for it anymore.
“I managed to get my hands on it,” he said.
