Original Coming Out of Their Shells tour Leo costume

Im pleased to present this unique piece of TMNT history to you. This is one of the original Leonardo costumes worn for the Coming Out of Their Shells tour. It's still in great condition for it's age. The original bandana is missing so an old blue sweatshirt was used to make a new one. The head is animatronic and the eyes and mouth are remote controlled. The costume has no shell, and no feet because the actors wore vests and running shoes for the live stage show. The green body suit is hooded and the arm parts and top half of the legs are glued on to it.

I want everyone to know that this costume is not mine. It belongs to my friend Jerry (jwiz154). When he joined the Drome I started talking with him through PM's and he mentioned this costume to me but he said he wasn't sure if anyone would believe him. Once I saw the pics I told him that he should post it, but as he says in his own words he's not really a computer person. So I offered to post this for him so that it could be shared with other TMNT fans. If you have any questions for Jerry regarding the costume you can post them here, or you can contact him by PM and he will get back to you in a day or so.

I hope you enjoy the pics!

Here are some close up shots of the Head.

The next pics show all the seperate parts of the costume, as well as the front and the back of the vest.

This is the body suit.

The hands are in slightly rough shape. The Leo is just there to give a size comparison.

This is the trunk the costume came in, along with the remote control, the battery pack (it goes on the back of the belt on the costume) and the chargers.
