The PPD costume isn't available other than as a limited-time Halloween treat that expires 13 days after you get it.
The Vanguard stuff requires you to be level 35 and earn a truckload of Vanguard merits by doing missions in the RWZ and then defeating Rikti anywhere. Takes a long time to get enough for a complete outfit, unless you can go on RWZ raids.

Also, the rocket boots only use blue fire when they activate (unless this has been changed) so it limits matching power colors up with it. (besides Energy Blast, that set looks custom made for Rocket Boots 
)
Ice also works pretty well, although it seems to be a more bluish color on the Corruptors.
For a techy costume, obviously the Robotic Arms work very well, and the original Hero side shoulder options fit a more metallic, armor-like theme better than the newer villain ones (mostly spikes and chains anyway 
) If you have the Veteran Time for it, the Tech Sleek/Anime armor looks pretty awesome, and is a LOT more detailed than the other tech Chest options.

Hi everyone.
Wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post in about this, but I'll give it a go and see what happens.
I'm sure it'd surprise noone to hear that when I saw the trailer for Iron Man, I got inspired to try for a Technology Blaster who could inevitably fly with rocket boots of some kind. My problem was and is the implementation of that kind of look. Perhaps I'm not looking deeply enough into the various types of looks in character creation, though I felt I gave it a good try.
Ideally, I'd like to see something utilising the Vanguard armor (which actually does look like armor) or even a model resembling the PPD armored suit I've seen people wearing over Halloween. Are these options completely unavailable to someone wanting the high-tech armor look? Anyone who's a bit of a costume freak is more than welcome to respond here and I'd appreciate any and all comments.
