A set of turtle stunt costume components from Steve Barron's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Michael Pressman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze. The groundbreaking turtle suits for the first two films were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, with the first film being one of the last projects that Henson himself worked on. It is not known for certain which of the films, the first or second, these components specifically originate from.

This lot consists of one head made of green foam latex over a fiberglass skull hand-marked "Don" and "Donatello" with a metal jaw, resin teeth, urethane eyes, a mesh lining, and a purple fabric eye mask; one brown and green foam chest and shell component, hand-marked "Leonardo Stunt" and "NI" in blue ink, with snaps and fastening strips for attaching other components; and one pair of green foam latex thighs attached to a mesh inner layer with brown nylon strap suspenders with padded shoulders, black plastic buckles, and labels hand-marked "Stunt-Nam." and "Josh No. 3," believed to be referencing turtle stunt performer Choi-Nam Yip and original Raphael suit and voice performer Josh Pais, respectively. The head is mounted to a mannequin head for stability. The foam latex in all elements exhibits hardening and has grown fragile with age, much of it crumbling away, and the components should each be handled with care.

From the collection of Planet Hollywood.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
