Petra Arkanian’s (Hailee Steinfeld) Salamander Flash Suit from Gavin Hood’s 2012 sci-fi adaptation, Ender’s Game. In the film, Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) 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 Petra’s Flash Suit and were likely worn by Steinfeld.

This full Flash Suit costume consists of a jacket, pants, balaclava, gloves, boots, green Flash Suit pads, and Salamander Army helmet. 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 “Petra”. The removable green rubber Flash Suit pads are all marked “Petra harness”. The pants are made from the same material as the jacket and feature a bib style mesh top. A small magnet on the right leg can be used to hold a Flash Gun. The pants also feature concealed clips which correspond to clips on the jacket.

The gloves are made from matching nylon and are labeled “Petra #1”. The boots are constructed from a pair of Rhino shoes (US size 10) and are specifically labeled for Steinfeld’s use. The Dragon 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, each labeled with sizing information “11 L”. The piece features a hidden switch and battery compartment to operate an internal fan, which remains untested. A black balaclava, labeled “Petra”, is worn under the helmet.

Included with the costume is a production-made foam bodycast that fits the costume. This bodycast was created by the costume department when manufacturing the costumes. The foam bodycast is in fair condition. When fully dressed the Flash Suit measures 68” x 25” x 13” (173cm x 64cm x 33cm).

The included mannequin has sustained some damage from production use including damaged connectors and chips to foam. All other components of this lot remain in great, production used condition.
