To celebrate their early digital release of Iron Man 3, blinkbox hired Ohio balloon artist Jeff Wright of Wright Entertainment to create a full Iron Man suit using 500 balloons.

Jeff, who works as a volunteer in an orphanage in Bolivia, jumped at the challenge — and the result is stunning. Made up of hundreds of balloons carefully intertwined, he has artfully recreated the legendary red and yellow suit with meticulous attention to detail.

Jeff comments: “I was trying to decide what costume to do next when I got an email from blinkbox. I’m a huge fan of the Iron Man films and couldn’t resist the challenge. After some careful planning I was ready and asked a friend to film the whole process right here in Bolivia.”

Jeff shows how to make the Iron Man mask out of balloons in this tutorial video:
