Our expert's notes

A collection of gorilla armor and a gorilla mask from Tim Burton’s sci-fi remake Planet of the Apes. This lot includes a helmet, mask, chest plate armor, sleeved leotard, gorilla gloves, armored skirt, armored leggings, thigh guards, shin guards, gorilla shoes, and a full body unitard.

The hard shell armor is crafted from fiberglass and painted burgundy. The helmet includes a soft padded interior with leather straps and has diamond shaped chainmail covering the neck. Paired with the helmet is a gorilla mask featuring hand-punched hair.

The body armor has two separate units that connect with leather straps at the shoulders and nylon straps at the waist. The leotard is made of spandex with fabric tubing stitched over small strands of rope. Worn on the hands is a pair of fur covered spandex gloves with latex monkey fingers. Black patches of fur are applied to the sides of the leotard, and also to the waist armor, to show parts of the Gorilla not covered by the armor.

The leggings are made from spandex with the familiar tubing material, and are worn under thigh and shin armor that is cast from fiberglass. Also included is a pair of water shoes housed in leather boot covers. The shoes have latex gorilla toes attached to complete the look. This costume lot shows some wear due to production use and storage, however it remains in overall good worn condition. No sizes marked.
