This is what I found:

Seems kinda familiar.
For those who don’t want to click:
Familiar? Nah… that’s clearly a totally different golem which just happens to look identical. Coincidence, nothing more.
A totally different gollem that despite world fame was not destroyed? Cool story brohan.
He looked damn good when he was all new and stuff, huh? Can we make another next year? 
Better to make some other cool thing, I reckon.
What you need to do what I did with the golem:
-
An idea of how to convert materials that you can get your hands on into a cool creature. My eureka moment was that soft foam can easily be made to look like stone, would be flexible enough to allow movement, and could be used as long arm weapons.
-
Someone with l33t design and construction skills. Without my arty mate Steve, the golem would have either have been a cool idea in my head or a shambling pile of poorly-designed-and-constructed foam.
There’s no need to repeat my “soft grey foam looks like stone” idea, there are other ideas out there. There’s a lot to be said for novelty. Or, even if the foam-stone thing was to be used again, it doesn’t have to be designed as a pile of rocks. It could be a finely-crafted smooth living stone statue, for example. That’s more like the historical idea of a golem or living statue, as opposed to the old golem who really looked more like a stone elemental. Or it could be a gloopy clay golem. Lots of variations possible.

See, you get me 
I can imagine a gargolye type thing, something with a large wing span… could be hard to transport, but would look pretty cool
Absolutely, a stone gargoyle is something else that could look good with the foam approach. Lots of variations on the statue idea could work. Derek did a good a gargoyle for St Wolfgang’s, but with a mask rather than a full-body foam costume.
Personally I would tend to stay clear of big wings. Seen them done a number of times, and they seldom come out looking great. Hard to maneuver, hard to make them look good expanding, usually look kinda flat and unnatural, etc. And you can’t actually fly with them in a larp. The great thing about arms, legs, etc. is that they follow the wearer’s own body. The reason that video looks especially cool is that the guy wearing the suit is really selling the weight of the golem through how he moves (although that’s not so visible in that sped-up version), and it translates easily into the movement of the suit. Movement, sound, etc. is just as important as looks. Movement is much harder with non-humanoid aspects of a costume, like wings.
Maybe something with no arms, but three heads? Two of which happen to be on long, prehensile necks, and filled with large mouths of sharp teeth?
By using bright colours for the “monster skin” (i.e. “remote head” & its neck), and black for the arms and hands that operate the remote heads, the neck could be independent of the arm that is operating the head, as (particularly at night) the wields arms would by relatively unnoticeable.
The wielder’s legs, torso and actual head would be monster costumed, black arms, and the remote heads are essentially redecorated one-handed maces/battlehammers, with the non-head bits matte black. Add in some kind of flexible connection from the remote heads to the shoulders of the costume (although it would need some stiffness to behave properly like a neck), and voila! Three-headed shambling horror 
Not that I have the technical expertise to pull a design like this off, but it seems like a vaguely feasible idea.
Great idea!
Throw it at the guy who’s making Grey Veil, he has section for Russian myth creatures, the three-headed dragon (not necessarily big) called Zmey Gorynych will fit those settings perfectly.
