    Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon Suit...???

    What color was the suit supposed to really be? I thought I saw a color pic at one point that was a light blue....Might have been a "colorized" B/W pic though I don't recall....

    I don't think there is any surviving color photos.

    Everything you see has been colorized --- which usually makes the shirt a blue-turquoise.

    Sometimes it's red.

      Just stumbled across this photo of a color cover to Look Magazine from 1938 which made me remember this thread.

        That's a neat photo. What sculpt would you use to make this figure happen?
        Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.

            I'm not the one making the figure but my suggestion would be a shrink of the Mego 9" Flash Gordon head...it would work for Crabbe, no problem

                  That is one sweet figure.

                  Love their Buck Rogers, as well.
