A chimpanzee armor set and chimp mask from Tim Burton’s sci-fi remake Planet of the Apes. This lot includes a helmet, mask, breastplate armor, sleeved leotard, chimp gloves, armored skirt, wool leggings, shin guards, and furry boot covers.

The helmet is made of fiberglass and painted burgundy in color. The helmet includes a soft padded interior with nylon straps and has chainmail covering the neck. Included is a latex chimp mask with bared teeth. The mask is covered in hand-punched hair and attaches to the head using nylon straps.

Worn on the torso is a piece of fiberglass body armor with leather sleeves over a wool and spandex leotard. The armor shows winged and scaled apes etched over the breasts that are painted bronze. Dressing the legs is an armored skirt that is crafted primarily from strips of leather and dozens of wooden sticks that are threaded together. Worn on the hands is a pair of fur covered spandex gloves with latex monkey fingers.

The leggings are wool and spandex leggings that are similar in style to the leotard, and show patches of fur stitched along the legs. Two fiberglass shin guards cover the lower legs and display intricately carved apes into the facing, nylon straps are included for fitting. Also included is a pair of leather boot covers with an open toe and fur laid over the laces. Numerous components in this lot have been marked for use by stuntman “John Alexander.” This costume lot shows some wear due to production use and storage, however it remains in overall good worn condition. No sizes marked.
