Bored Panda reader Karoline Hinz, a Berlin-based sculptor, prop maker, and costume designer, has graced our newsfeeds with her latest creation – a very life-like sloth costume, that we find absurdly adorable.
Karoline, who works as the prop apprentice at Deutsche Oper Berlin (a national opera house), also does various movie props, creates for music clips, TV shows, private commisions, and is keen in costume design. Since she collaborates with the best carpenters, dressmakers, and visual artists she can turn even the craziest idea alive.
This sloth costume took about eight weeks to come to life – it’s a two-layered padded bodysuit, separate movable extended claw-gloves, claw-slippers and of course the head. The face is silicone with punched hair and glass eyes. Sadly, it was a commisioned work, so it is not for sale, but you can ask Kristine to make you one!
Now, if you’ve ever dreamt of turning into a sloth for a day, this creative costume could definitely make your dream come true — none of the animal costumes that we’ve ever seen matches to this adorable fuzzy beast.

It's an artist &/or helpful design prop to keep the human physical form & size always in the artists' mind. Not a particularly odd, strange piece really in a studio. Definitely not some out of whack sexual type fantasy, fetish nor anything else base or corrupt. Though your ? is uderstanable.

Call me crazy, but there is something about a human sized sloth that reeeeally bothers me!!
Get in touch with her & perhaps she'd commission a piece just for you. Hope you do so!

Is there anyway I could buy or order this costume? This is exactly what I have been looking for
Where can i buy one of these? I would happily live the next decade as a sloth
she's a sculptor & prop maker - perhaps if you paid her to commission making a sloth suit tailored to you or whomever she'd gladly do so! Hope you do.

That would scare the legitimate f**k out if me if I saw it walking down the street. Still, great costume!
Please someone tell me it is made out of artificial fur and claws Not from some poor killed other creatures. Tell me that, then it is very nice.
Of course!! No animal was harmed making this! All fake fur and the claws are sculpted and casted in polyurethane 🖤

She's an artist and sculptor it's her life's work, passion & it's also just how she earns a living. It's not as though she creates things as a hobby!

My skin is crawling and I love sloths. Something just unsettling here.
