This armor is cast fiberglass. This was used during filming. It has some scratches, scuffs, and chips. It has seen some battle, but overall this set is in superior condition compared to most we've seen. It has some unusual gold highlighting in the paint on the shoulders.It has 2 piece articulated shoulder armor and a cool braided wrap on the shoulder straps. It has an extender plate hanging from the chest. This was designed by Colleen Atwood the Academy Award winner in 2003 and 2006 for best costume design. It is adjustable and would fit most larger gorillas (it was designed to be worn over a large gorilla muscle suit and other armor).
