[FS] Tmnt costumes

[dericrw]

Hey guys, I have decided to sell from my replica costumes of the teenage mutant ninja turtles and wanted to give this community the first opportunity.

Each costume is constructed from smooth-on's dragon skin silicone which should out last any other product. The shell is constructed from smooth-on's flex foam.

The suit was designed around my 5"11 body frame but I have suited up people from 5'7 to 6'1.

Selling to the continental U.S. shipping will be added to the total and will feature tracking, insurance, and signature confirmation.
Paypal only and selling fee will be added to the total.
Each suit is $3500 USD

I will need time to reproduce the heads before shipping because the original heads have been signed by Kevin Eastman and I would like to keep them. If having the head signed is something you desire, I may sell the original signed head but the total would be $7000 per suit.

I'm not sure of the wood. The chuks were purchased, not made.

Thanks! I get it on the price but they are not the cheap latex costumes that others have. Silicone is 5x better and 5x more expensive. Anyone who has seen both would understand.

oh i wasn't knocking your price, i just wish i had that kinda cash to have those costumes! haha

NOT SURE IF I SHOUD DO THIS:

If there is a buyer out there that wants ALL FOUR of these replica costumes.... I am prepared to offer a sizeable discount for a limited time. As the next movie draws closer the more I want to keep them. In addition more people will want them. So selling them now may not be the smartest decision but only time would tell.

SO HERE IS THE DEAL:

All four of these replica costumes can be yours for $20,000. I will look into the shipping and potentially take care of that as well.... All depends.
This price will not be permanent, but it is on the table today.

Not trying to be a dick, but I seriously think your asking price is absolutely absurd. I guess it's not really fair for me to say that without knowing how much of your own money you put into each one, but damn, dude, that's a lot of money for some foam that's not even screen-used. If you wouldn't mind telling us, how much of your own money did you actually spend to produce these? I'd like to know what warrants such a high price, other than they're TMNT replicas.

I wouldn't know first thing what it takes to make costumes on this scale. Can't imagine how many hours of blood sweat and tears it took to produce such replicas, and I do think you've done a fine job, so don't take this as an attack on you. What do I know? Maybe the materials you used were ridiculously expensive, and you're simply looking to make your money back. Whatever the case, good luck selling them.

The cost is all reflected in the cost of materials. Silicone is $200 a gallon the silicone paint that has to be used is $200 a gallon. The molding materials is $200 a gallon.... the price is the cost. The two years of work is free..... now you know.

If you were to build your own replica with the same QUALITY materials... it could not be done for less than $5000.

Happy Easter! These are still available for the Turtle Fan that wants the best out there.

[dericrw]

Open to reasonable offers

[dericrw]

Don is reserved. Still 3 available at 5,000 each

[dericrw]

Now $4500

[dericrw]

Edited to $3500... that's the cost of materials for crying out loud.

[dericrw]

Still available

This might seem like I'm out of my mind, but perhaps you could sell each Turtle costume separately for say, $400 to $500. Because not everyone may want to buy all four of the costumes and most of us seem to have a fave Turtle. If you can attract attention from more potentional buyers, then maybe you can also make other mutants from the movies or comics. That could be really cool.

Kudos on the downtown backstreet picture. That is a nice shot.
