Tried to make a Colonial Marine costume for Halloween a few years ago. Used BMX armour and some of the less dorky bicycle helmets. Ended up looking like a Motocross Borg with a dorky bicycle helmet. So I went with the Borg label. Added a Tennis racket and I was Bjorn Borg.
I think the Aliens Colonial Marine look is one that I see alot of fiction stories and computer games that try to copy. Look at the soldiers in Halo. Heck even the real soldiers today look like they came off a movie set. I don't know what those "monacles" do but like all the soldiers in Iraq hav'em.
