Lev Andropov's light-up stunt spacesuit costume from Michael Bay's Armageddon. Andropov (Peter Stormare) wore his spacesuit while he traversed the asteroid with A.J. Frost (Ben Affleck) and Otis "Bear" Curlenbear (Michael Clarke Duncan) to meet with the other mission team.

This costume, primarily constructed of large-weave nylon-blended fabrics with resin and metal components, consists of a metal-and-resin cowl with sealing ring; front-and-back padded torso armor hand-marked "Lev Stunt" in black ink with an internal power system; leatherette gloves with aluminum locking rings hand-labeled "Lev Stunt" on tape; a utility belt hand-marked "Lev Stunt Clean" in red on tape on the interior; a long-sleeve top that connects via a zipper around the waist to a pair of pants labeled "Lev Stunt" and "Clean" on interior tags; and modified leatherette Vans boots with nylon-blend covers. The torso armor's fans and lights are powered via 12V batteries.

Also included is a gray fiberglass replica helmet applied with a USA flag decal at the back and engraved "USA" as well as "This helmet is a replica" beneath a clear acrylic visor to complete the costume. A mannequin hand for stabilizing the gloves is included as well. This costume exhibits fabric fragility on the gloves and boots, chipped resin, discoloration, cracked faux leather, frayed fibers, as well as loose and missing components such as the other half of the torso armor's buckles.

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
