No doubt there were a lot of Foot Soldiers in the film, but who knows how much of it was destroyed vs. stored? I'm a bit confused to know one person upbid their own bid twice. It makes no sense.

[Mayhem]

You can upbid if the reserve isn't met. That's the most likely reason for doing so. If the reserve is not met, then the seller has no commitment to have to sell the item to the highest bidder.

I have actually corresponded with the person who destroyed most of the costumes from the movies.
After #2 was finished they put her in a room and it was her job to shred and destroy everything.
I will try to find her e-mail and ask if that included Foot costumes...I assume it did

Holy cow. What an utter shame! I wonder if it was something required by the studios or some protection order? Or maybe there was no space and no one wanted it so they destroyed it. Wow that would just be tragic being any of those pieces are such a great piece of film history. Or maybe back then no one knew the wiser that there was any value to those pieces.

Probably one of the coolest things I saw up close was from TMNT II or 3 up at the EMP museum in Seattle. Paul Allen owns and had on display a full perfect complete Ninja Turtle with a remote animatronic control. It was in beautiful shape. To him it was probably like spending $10, haha!

I believe if memory serves me, the Planet Hollywood here in Chicago has a full costume of Movie II Don. However, since they went out of business I'm not sure where it would have ended up?

I've heard the same, but had always assumed it was just the leftover Henson material that was destroyed. I could be wrong, but I believe Henson did just the creature work, not general costuming.

Ahh Planet Hollywood......I remember driving down there during the holidays to get the blackened cajun chicken sandwich and gawk at the Donny costume.

Daniel Pesina, the Foot Soldier who got roundhoused by Donnie in the Vanilla Ice club scene (he was also Johnny Cage if you ever played Mortal Kombat in the arcades), told me that the Turtle/creature costumes, specifically, were destroyed after filming wrapped. Before that happened, "one of the British prop girls" as he called her (I assume from Henson) gifted pieces as mementos to crewmembers. He received Donnie's elbow pad, Mikey's knee pad, and Raph's arm, the last of which he gave to Ho-Sung Pak (Raph's stuntman). Tokka and Rahzar's claws and arms were saved as well and given away. Daniel was able to keep his complete Foot outfit afterwards, too, but unfortunately some of it was lost over the years.

Really the one used in the movie?

[niennumb1]

Just a friendly bump... Under 2 days left! Thanks for watching!

[niennumb1]

Down to the last 16 hours!

$2,740.00 was the final price. Shredder would be proud.

So I finally found her e-mail and asked if the Foot costumes were destroyed also..and..she said "NO" most of them were sent back to wardrobe, as far as she could remember. So its surprising to me more don't show up from time to time.

It is a massive shame, considering how many were made! There are very few props from these films out there...

what an awesome prop and piece of tmnt history! a pretty impressive fetching price too
