Costume of the Week: Ark 2

[RSS]

It couldn't get more obscure or joyous for me. Growing up, I LOVED Filmation's post apocalyptic series "Ark 2" with a passion. So i nearly did a spit take when I discovered this Halloween costume on the ebay.

I would have fought tooth and nail for it but I was lucky enough to snag it for $10, which makes it all the more sweeter. As an aside, I wore that mask to bed one night and got the reaction I was hoping for. It was worth it...

And another thing I did not know about. Now, do you have the costume the made from "The Deep"?

[Megotu]

Yep, that is the exact uniform they wore on the show...minus the helmet, and the design on the shirt...And it looks like he has red pants....

Is the helmet face re-used from a Space:1999 costume?

Where's the jet pack? Still cool though!

How sweet is was, when you could go into a drug store and see shelves stacked with boxed costumes for Halloween. Such good memories.

I know! I miss that Ben Cooper/Collegeville plastic-y goodness!

If there was ever an example of TMI, I think this has that potential.

The reaction was terror. If it had been arousal, I'd have been really worried.
