With the release of Mad Max: Fury Road this year, young and old film buffs alike haven't been able to get enough of the apocalyptic univese as this [children's cosplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphaba-tx) showcases. Twin brothers Jeremy and Cory Newton-Smith recently dressed up as characters from the films complete with a miniature land rover vehicle just like the one in the movie.

The War Rig is the epic scary vehicle featured in Mad Max: Fury Road that is able to trudge through the dessert and harsh landscapes in a breeze with its spooky design. This [miniature version of the car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-car-1) features a [motorized toy Jeep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-jeep-gladiator-willys-41-buzz) that is covered in skulls, added fenders and smoke pipes along the side. The children are then dressed up as Max and Imperator Furiosa to complete the cosplay.
