VARIOUS PRODUCTIONS - Complete "Shop Gorilla" Costume Display by Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios - 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 lot is believed to have been used in a series of 1980s-era Los Angeles Times movie theater advertisements.

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. Salt-and-pepper hair is hand-punched throughout. This costume comes dressed and posed on a full-size foam mannequin mounted via metal pipe and wiring to a black wood base. It exhibits tearing, stiffening, fur loss throughout from age and exposure, and the head has undergone sympathetic restoration. Dimensions: (displayed) 24" x 30" x 48" (61 cm x 76.25 cm x 122 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
