When Rocket Raccoon declared "Ain't no thing like me except me," he clearly hadn't met 6-year-old Chase, who was a dead ringer for the tough-talking, furry Guardian of the Galaxy for Halloween.

Created by Chase's mother, artist Christina Borchardt, the painstakingly hand-made costume has become a social-media sensation, garnering attention from the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, Mythbusters co-host Adam Savage and Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Borchardt overlooked no detail, going so far as to sculpt Rocket's teeth and create a working hinge jaw. She noted, however, that the costume wasn't "100%" finished in time for trick-or-treat, as she wanted to distress the lower leather. It seems unlikely anyone noticed.
