A White Ranger (Jason David Frank) costume from Bryan Spicer's big screen adaptation of the hit children's television series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. The White Ranger wore his battle costume when he joined with his fellow Power Rangers to protect Earth from Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman).
This costume consists of a white spandex blend zip-up jumpsuit accented with a layer of latex paint and affixed with black, white, and gold-coloured urethane rubber armour pieces on the chest, back, thighs, and shoulders; white leatherette accents on the forearms, shoulders, chest, and knees; a pair of white leather gloves with gold-coloured details on the wrists marked "JASON" on the interior; a pair of white leather boots with gold-coloured details; a pair of black and gold-coloured foam rubber shoulder pads; and a white leather belt. The original "Morpher" belt buckle and goldtone chest emblem were missing so replicas cast from original moulds have been fitted for display. Completing the ensemble is the nicest costume component--a black, white, and gold-coloured fibreglass helmet marked "HERO WORKING SET" (an additional note for "Dark Visor" is present but crossed out) with a foam-padded interior. The front and back plates of the helmet are connected by elastic and close with fabric and velcro straps on the interior. The helmet includes a smoked visor and a fabric mouthpiece that differs to the primary mouthpieces seen in the film; this mouthpiece may have been added later for display.
The white bodysuit and armour became discoloured over the years and were recently re-sprayed for a more presentable appearance, with additional work carried out to reattach certain armour components. The costume is in highly delicate condition with aging throughout including deterioration and some separation of the foam rubber elements, wear markings, flaking on the latex paint; additional stabilisation efforts may be beneficial for long-term preservation. The helmet is in a more stable fair condition with some wear from production and age. The costume has been mounted on a flexible-body mannequin for several years.
Estimate: £15,000 - 20,000 US
