[FS] ULTIMATE Ninja Turtle Costume won MANY contest movie accurate TMNT silicone prop

[jacobzking]

This is without a doubt THE BEST TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE COSTUME on the planet. In fact, we were presented a $1,000 check from THE Carmen ElectraI at Club One15 in Oklahoma City AND awarded the prestigious GRAND PRIZE (a new MAcBook Pro valued nearly $2,000, from the Instructables 2012 contest and also featured in a full writeup on the chive.com 'll even go so far as to say its better than THE ORIGINAL suits made for the movie. The original suits made for the TMNT movies were made of foam latex. Foam latex deteriorates on its own within about a decade usually. The majority of the original suits made for the movie have crumbled to dust. This custom made suit, however, is made of a high grade dragon skin silicone. Not only will the suit last forever, but its SUPER durable. I walked about 1.5 miles in this suit on Halloween this year (HUGE HIT) and the bottoms of the feet look good as new.

The suit is heavy as it weighs a little over 50lbs. However, the 50lbs are well dispersed in weight throughout your body, so it doesnt feel like your carrying 50lbs around. Also, its custom made for a guy about 5'11 and 200lbs. But when we designed the suit, we kept in mind that not everyone matches us in size. We made the limbs longer than needed so taller people can fit in the suit just fine, and shorter people can just overlap the longer parts where needed. I'm 6'2" and 215 and the suit fit great (tall with average build, average legs, etc...). The arms and legs would probably support someone as tall as 6'4" 230lbs and as short as 5'7" 160lbs. These photos were taken with Derick in the suit, he's the 5'11" guy. I CANNOT guaranty fitment for anyone, but the closer to 5'11" 200lbs you are, the better the fit.

Here's what's included: leg set, arm set, crotch piece, upper torso, front shell, rear shell with attached sides, mask with fixed bandana and removable eyes, wrist wraps, knee pads, elbow pads, belt and all harnessing. The suit is 100% complete and ready to wear. All harnessing is installed and ready to go.

There are only TWO of these suits on the planet. Mine, and Derick's. The 2 suits are identical. Derick did the sculpting, molding and casting. I did the painting, harnessing, pads, belt, bandana, eye install, photos, etc...

Due to the size and weight of this costume, it will have to ship via UPS ground (shell is BIG). Also, please note that the majority of the suit is nearly indestructible but the front and rear shells are made of poly euro foam and are susceptible to tearing if abused. The only part of the suit that has a tendency to peel is the front shell, but its currently coated with fairly thick silicone paint. I WILL warranty all craftsmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase, buyer simply pays for 2 way shipping if anything needs repair, or even repainting. NO ONE else would offer that kind of warranty on a replica costume.

Local pickup in Dallas is welcome.

I'll try and add some photos of the individual suit pieces in the next few days.

Here's a youtube video with the suit in action, first time the suit whole was put on. Sorry about the sideways video, was holding my phone up and down.

ps: the top of the chest wasnt attached in this video, but the harnessing has since been installed. also, we forgot to put on wrist bands before we shot this but they are included

Lastly, this really is an investment. D entered his suit in 3 contests and won a MAcBook Pro from Instructables, $1000 at One15 and $500 at another local contest.

Please allow a couple of days once this is paid for, to get it boxed up and to UPS.

WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED WITHIN CONTINENTAL US. NO OUT OF COUNTRY SALES.

Costume is listed on ebay for $4999 but will sell to any RPF or Technodrome member for $3999
