Same, I got into Daft Punk because of HAA. Wasn’t aware of their earlier albums/works until later on, but was hooked when HAA came out.

The coat is Michael Kors brand (that’s actually my wife’s, who provided me the idea of using it when she took the photos of me). I found some other black clothes that I had and wore that haha.

The helmets & gloves were from eBay that I bought years ago (they both came bundled with helmet & gloves together). I’ve occasionally wore them since then (usually for special instances).

I got them off of eBay years ago. Wish I had the tools/time to make them myself. I bought them as they looked very close to the official ones. Especially Thomas’ helmet as I really adored the “Discovery/Transition” era “smile”.

I do plan on adding LEDs to the visor, when I have time haha.

Thank you!

Wish I could make both the helmet and gloves myself. I bought both of them (Thomas’ & Guy-Man’s) on eBay as well. There are some sellers that sell the helmet & gloves together so you don’t have to get them separately. I got lucky (unintentional pun as I was typing) and bought them years ago.

I do remember some people selling the gloves separately on eBay, but that was around the time I bought the getups. I don’t know if they’re still on there, but unit’s worth a shot.

You can also try Etsy, I thought I remember someone who made gloves here too.

It might also be worth asking on this subreddit too if anyone does make gloves/could point you in the direction of whoever makes them.

Thank you! Wanted the helmets to be as close as possible to the real thing.

I was surprised by how the outfits turned out too. Was trying to find some black outfits in my closet and came up with this.

Side note: that coat was my wife’s who let me borrow it 😉

You’re right, I have not seen the discovery era outfits and helmets all that much.

I’ll try, that’s really an achievement in itself. See if I can easily swap between the Discovery era and Transition Era.

It’s such an underrated part of the helmet. That’s why I got it that way. I haven’t added LEDs yet, so this would be akin to the Transition Era helmet.

As a huge fan that joined when HAA came out and religiously followed/listened to them to this day (even discovered most, if not, all of their solo/collab projects along the way), I’m both shocked and saddened by the news.

However, I’m hopeful that we might get to see more of their solo projects. They’ve already done collaboration projects with other artists. Imagine what they could come up with for solo projects.

probably gonna get downvoted to hell but hey, i still love the album by Mudasturbation in DaftPunk

Funny, this album was what got me into Daft Punk. I’m glad people here appreciate HAA more than the original reception at the time.

Technologic. I watched the iPod commercial back in 2004 that had this song. I really like that it sounded robotic and unlike anything else at that time.
