The guy in the mask, Harrison Krix, is a local Atlantan that has become very well known on the internet for his prop creations. The thing that made the big rounds first was his other Daft Punk "Guy" helmet: http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/2010/07/daft-punk-final.html
It got posted on a LOT of websites.
Also very impressive was his "Big Daddy" costume he made for Dragoncon a couple years ago: http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/2009/09/big-daddy-bioshock.html
But you can see on his website that he makes/has made tons of stuff.

This past summer we both attended a prop party at the local molding & casting materials supplier, and I took the car with a bunch of BTTF props. The car caught his eye and he asked me if he could do a photoshoot with it and his recently finished "Thomas" Daft Punk helmet. So we got together last month and there you have it.

If that's what Daft Punk look like, then are they going to go all Blue Man Group and have Daft Punk clones performing everywhere sending money uphill to the original group? Brilliant idea from a cash flow standpoint.

Love it!! :)

I wonder if you can buy the helmut without the lights? He's made a mold and several duplicates of the helmut.

Sounded familiar so I did a google image search. I was thinking D&D and one of my favorite webcomics, not the sort of photography that came up. NSFW but in a classy, 50s styling.
