While there are thousands of impressive costumes that come out every Halloween, Wellens' transformation into Silver Surfer is one of the most memorable in recent years. His makeup alone would be enough to impress the average person, but he took a step further and got the board as well. As if that was not enough, riding around the streets of New York in the full costume is an easy way to get noticed, and based on the reactions of those who saw him in person, the costume is worthy of the praise.
Even though his costume is certainly impressive based on the effort that went in to pulling it off, hardcore Marvel comic fans will surely notice that Silver Surfer has a full head of hair, instead of his traditionally bald look. This should not be an inditement on the costume, as he was able to seemingly capture the look of the character who is inherently tough to accurately recreate. Silver Surfer has only been realized once on the big screen in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but even in this version he was an entirely CGI character. As far as truly real portrayals of Silver Surfer goes, Wellens' is at or at the very least near the top.
