Other than that, just try to help someone else out whenever you can. Good Luck! Thanks Cobblepot,

Neoprene claw surfing gloves look similar: (http://www.surfing-waves.com/Item/SHa4ac0409/billabong-gbs-claw-glove-5mm.htm) But if you want movie accurate, you'll have to have those made along with the costume, it shouldn't be hard. In fact, you could get some black pleather at Jo-Anne fabrics and make them yourself. Take two mirror image pieces of fabric, with three points (two fingers one slightly more obtuse than the other and a small pointy thumb), a slight bulge for the palm funneled down to the more narrow wrist. Place one pattern on top of the other with the shinny sides facing each other, then sew them together (around the parameter); don't worry about the the seem, it will be on the inside. When you're done, turn it inside out and you've got a glove. Make sure to make four identical patterns (two which are enantiomers of the other two, so that both sides show the shinny pleather when you're done). Also remember to make it bigger than your hand, even the inside parameter of the stitch, because when you turn it inside out, you will lose surface area to the fold and the sides. Hope that helps Good Luck! -Trav Sorry Cobblepot, I’m not sure where you can get some pre-fab penguin gloves that are movie accurate. Neoprene claw surfing gloves look similar:
