Bigfoot's (Ray Young) Hair Costume - THE KROFFT SUPERSHOW (1976 - 1978)


Bigfoot's (Ray Young) hair costume from Sid & Marty Krofft’s children’s variety series The Krofft Supershow. The body suit is entirely fabricated of human hair that is hand-tied into a fabric foundation. The hair itself is multicolored, with shades of blonde and brown present, creating a gradient effect like natural highlights and lowlights. The beard features matching hair with an elastic strap. The feet are highly detailed and made of heavy rubber, carefully molded to capture each knuckle, toe nail and toe wrinkle. The feet are covered in human hair, on which each hair track is individually adhered to the rubber. There is an inventory tag present with details from a Sid & Marty Krofft preservationist.

The costume remains in fine, production-used, vintage condition overall.

In Bigfoot and Wildboy, a recurring segment from the series, Bigfoot teaches a child (Joseph Butcher) he finds in the wilderness how to fight crime, and he wears his costume throughout the series.
