Leonardo Movie 1 costume restoration. LOOK
 

This is my dream to own one of the first TMNT movie costumes like this on that the lucky owner just had restored. Take a look at the link below and here is a pic from the site.

Oh wow!, they did a great job restoring the parts that needed to be fixed. Excellent find :D. It is also my dream to own a Movie 1 costume, along with others here who love TMNT 1.

Oh man I didn't know that this happened to the original movie costumes. They did a great job in fixing it up. I too want a original tmnt I movie costume, my favorite movie out of all! Where are all the other original movie I costumes being held now? Did they just sell them to places like studios or anywhere else?

Ok now I'm impressed. That looks awesome, totally freaking awesome. The bandana should be bluer IMO but even in the movie i think it was this pale. So what, he looks GREAT!

Restore me a TMNT1 Raph FULL body like this, coat and everything, I'd take one. If i had the $.
I just wouldn't want old parts laying around, disembodied heads and stuff.

Honestly I didnt know any one had the origial costumes still I figured they would have all been thrown away or something. I am really jealous of the guy who owns this suit. Although I would love to have it I would prefer Raphael from the first film. :)

This is fantastic! Thank you for posting the link!

I love the before pictures! :lol:
Some cool star wars characters there too. It's fun to see how bad they were before restoration. That Leo looked horrible before the makeover.

Wow they even restored other memorible movie muppets and masks.

But yeah, that's cool on how they're able to restore TMNT Movie 1's Leonard costume.

You, me, and Buslady makes 3. If only I had the green (sorry for the pun).

Man that's so awesome! I'd love to own that thing! Not only am I a TMNT fan but Jim's one of my idols. That's like the best of both worlds right there!

The head is a little weird looking and is clearly from TMNT 2

Actually this is the non animatronic head used in the 1st film. Each turtle had a separate head used for fighting scenes that had a fixed expression on its face. go back and watch the first movie again and look at Leonardo when he is fighting and you will notice this is exactly his mask. Leonardo in number 2 had a bigger head and looked different overall I am suprised you could not tell.

Nope, clearly TMNT 1 Leo stunt head.

TMNT 2 heads were completely redesigned and funnier looking

I thought it was 2 at first, but I think it may be due to the restorers emphasizing the spots a bit, but I could be wrong. That or the bandanna fabric....something makes it look a little like a SotO head. If only a little. ;)

Great job. Not only in restoration, but also in having it being able to stand up like that. After so many years and being worn so many times while shooting the movie, it must have been pretty worn out. But they are being quite accurate. Looks fantastic.

And I'm glad my pop-up blocker is back to normal again. Yesterday it would not let me view any attachments or links that opened another page.

There where stunt heads for the turtles?!?! No wonder why Mikey's face looked so different when he was facing that foot soldier in a nunchuck duel. Same goes for the other turtles in their moments. Thanks for clearing that up! :P But wait, where are the real heads where the animatronics are applied when they speak in a scene? Do they just take the electronic crap out when they need to?

No, they had 2 heads per turtle a stunt head and an animatronic head.

Clearly...:-P

I wish I still have the picture of the mechanics without the skin, they're freaky looking.

Wow that's really cool. I'm surpised that we see so less of TMNT costumes, because they made a lot of them for each Turtle.
