Rick Baker\'s Shop Gorilla costume display is for sale = $10,000 obo

A complete \"shop gorilla\" costume display from Rick Baker\'s effects company Cinovation Studios. \"Shop gorillas\" were generic costumes made available for rental on commercials and smaller-scale projects. This particular \"shop gorilla\" is believe to have been used in a series of 1980s-era Los Angeles Times movie theater advertisements profiling locals with interesting careers.

This costume consists of a foam latex gorilla mask with a fiberglass underskull, resin teeth, and snap buttons for attaching to a hair suit; a nylon hair suit; a two-piece foam-padded muscle suit consisting of a nylon blend shirt and black denim jeans hand-labeled \"John\" in marker; two \"knuckle walker\" rigs featuring plastic shells mounted to hand-painted black foam latex hands and snap button closures; and two latex feet with snap buttons on the top. Black, brown, and silver-color hair is handpunched throughout the costume.

This costume comes dressed and posed on a full-size foam mannequin display mount via metal pipe and wiring to a black wood base. It exhibits some tearing, stiffening, and some fur loss throughout from age and exposure. Dimensions (displayed): 24\" x 30\" x 48\" (61cm x 76.25cm x 122 cm).
