Costume of the Week: Ultra-Man

[RSS]

As much as I'd like to say I own this killer Collegeville Ultraman suit, I don't. Fortunately for me, Corey volunteered some shots of his collection to the blog including the two variations of this classic suit, more after the jump.




Above is the first version suit and smock, I don't know why they chose gold but I'm just happy there is an Ultra-man suit at all!



This is the second version of the suit, which has more than one colour and frankly just makes it look nicer.






The mask has those safety reflectors on it.




Love it!

The artwork is several steps above most of the drawings used on Ben Cooper costumes. Some of those looked like they were drawn with Magnum .44 markers on cocktail napkins, while the artist was riding over gravel!

Yes! I once owned this costume!!! It isn't as cool as I once remembered.

It hurts to look at this costume. I use to have it mint in the box as a kid. I adored it so much, I only took it out to look at it. My mother threw it away during a cleaning excursion. Scarred to this day. Especially when I see what it goes for..

I love that Corey still has the one on its original display hanger. Very cool!

My brother and I wore the second version of the Ultraman costume way back when. I'll never forget that mask with the safety reflective circles on it - when night fell and we shined a light on the mask, WOW!

For the past couple of months they've been airing Ultraman 80 here in Belgium, something to look forward to every week
