Ender Wiggin’s (Asa Butterfield) Launchie Flash Suit from Gavin Hood’s 2012 sci-fi adaptation, Ender’s Game. In the film, Ender is recruited to lead the International Fleet against the alien race known as Formics. Flash Suits were used during the film’s Battle Room training sequences. Features of the suit, such as the neck piece and shoulder pads, were designed to be modular, allowing a suit’s color accents to be changed depending on what army was being portrayed. Many items of this lot are components of Ender’s harness Flash Suit and were likely worn by Butterfield while shooting Battle Room sequences.

This full Flash Suit costume consists of a jacket, pants, balaclava, posture vest, gloves, boots, yellow Flash Suit pads, a Launchie helmet, and a flash gun. The jacket is made of synthetic nylon material with a concealed zipper up the center of the chest. The jacket features no sizing information but is labelled “Ender Harness Suit”. The removable yellow pads are labeled for use with Ender’s suit. The neckpiece is marked “principle suit, the knee pads are marked “Ender Hero”, and the shoulder pads are marked “Ender”. The pants are made from the same material as the jacket and feature a bib style mesh top with black collar that is worn under the shirt. A small magnet on the right leg can be used to hold the flash gun. The pants, labeled “Ender Harness” also feature concealed clips which correspond to clips on the jacket.

The gloves are made from matching nylon and are labeled “Ender Suit 3”. The boots are constructed from a pair of Rhino shoes (US size 9) and are specifically marked for “Ender”. The Launchie helmet is made of resin with a clear acrylic visor and was cast from 3D printed master patterns specifically sized to fit the actor. The helmet separates into three different pieces; cap, visor, and jaw. The cap and jaw are labeled “Ender/Asa”. The piece features a hidden switch and battery compartment to operate an internal fan, which remains untested. An unlabeled dark grey balaclava is worn under the helmet and tucked into the collar.

The Flash Gun is constructed primarily of 3d printed resin pieces. The gun features small coils running inside the gun’s barrel and a magnet mounted in translucent blue plastic for mounting to a Flash Suit. The gun is detailed with silver and copper paint to appear metallic. The piece has slight wear from production use and measures 10” x 6” x 1½”. (25cm x 15cm x 1.25cm)

All components of this lot remain in great, production used condition.
