Before we get into the concept art here, you’ve gotta watch the trailer for Jodorowsky’s Dune, a new documentary chronicling the eponymous Chilean director’s crazy-ambitious attempt to bring Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic to the big screen in the 1970s.

This awesome costume is a Dune sandworm that you can make yourself. It also could double as Sarlacc pit. He who controls the spice controls the universe, while he who controls the costume controls the worm – otherwise known as Shai Hulud.
If you want to get in touch with your inner worm and wriggle around in some sand, you can find the instructions for building your own here, thanks to Instructables contributor Canida.
For this costume you need a $13 kid’s-play tunnel, six yards of sandworm-tan fabric, mouth-pink fabric, poster board, wire, and a large cardboard box. You will also need some basic sewing skills. After you put them all together you have yourself an awesome worm costume.
I would suggest burying yourself in a sandbox or on the beach and leaping out to scare kids, but that’s just my personal preference.

A step up from traditional ATVs, this dune buggy (aka “sport UTV”) from Polaris will let you go pretty much anywhere you please. You’ll have the benefit of almost car-like behavior in something that was meant to scale dunes in the desert.
The Polaris RZR XP 1000 comes with a 1000cc engine that delivers 107 hp. Its peak torque is delivered at 3500 RPM, so you’ll be speeding ahead of your buddies, no matter what they are driving. The RZR XP 1000 comes with dual-piston calipers and 248mm ventilated disc brakes on each of its wheels.
If you are looking for something with a bit more power and versatility in the off-road market, then this Polaris was meant for you. It sells for $19,999(USD).
And if you want to see what the XP1000 can do when fully tricked out, check out this customized version, called the XP1K:
