89Batman[TK] Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Excelent Paul, one step closer to locating the exact suit. The suit in these photos still resides with its owner by the way. What is he going to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riveting Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 What is he going to do with it? Hopefully the owner will get some molds off it? that would be a nice start I thought it went for a rumored $233,000 to an auction house??? mind you how I interpreted that could be a fault of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob .T .[TK] Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) The Prop blog was sent the pictures it featured by someone without permission to do so . Those pictures are now "out" and the owner is now O.K. but disapointed about that . However the discussion on the Prop Blog is totally fictional , and no credit to Dan Benton. The suit is still in the posession of its original owner , who is undecided weather to sell or not . The owner has given permission for these photos to be published,to show its is complete, but at this moment isnt ready to enter into discussion about the suit details or sale of the suit. If and when the decision is made to sell the suit , more photos may be released to allow prospective purchasers to view it . Edited October 17, 2010 by Rob .T .

Obievon[501st] Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Man that belt is really flexible. To me it almost acts like it could be made out of latex like the hand guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeR Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks for sharing Rob. Just don't let him go near it with anymore black paint or sandpaper. You lucky fellas seeing it in person, I bet you all had an amazing time. Seeing original stuff in person is very cool and makes you realise how santised most of the replicas are.

Rob .T .[TK] Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) It seems the Prop Blog page has been taken down . Simons email to him must have brought a few home truths to Dan ... maybe he`ll enrol on that Journalism 101 course now. Edited October 24, 2010 by Rob .T .

riveting Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 just wondered if the owner would share any more of the backstory on this awesome piece here? I'd be really keen to here what the kit has been upto over the years, where it was found? has it been stuck in the attic? displayed in the front room? any tit bit's? ect ect ect These original prop stories are always a cool read.
