TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE (1991) - Foot Soldier's Mask - A foot soldier's mask from Michael Pressman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Ninja soldiers of the Foot Clan, revived upon the return of their leader The Shredder (Francois Chau), wore masks to both hide their identities and blend into the shadows.

As with its predecessor, this sequel took inspiration from both the original Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comic books as well as the extremely popular 1987 television cartoon. The groundbreaking creature effects for both of the first two Ninja Turtles films were created by Jim Henson's creature shop, with this film being dedicated to the late Henson. Originally obtained from someone who worked on the film, this mask is made of a black Spandex-blend material with painted mesh guards over the eyes, metal rivet breathing holes over the mouth, and a red bandana embroidered with the kanji Oni. The neck is line with fastening strips, and the interior is hand-marked with an illegible name and the number "36" in blue and "Kowell #45" in black. The mask exhibits fading to its black fabric, some paint loss on the eye covers and loosening to the mouth rivets, and remnants of red material on the fastening strips.

Estimate: $5,000 - 10,000
