A Black Ranger (Johnny Yong Bosch) costume from Bryan Spicer's film adaptation of the hit children's television series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. The Black Ranger wore his battle costume when he and fellow Power Rangers protected Earth from Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman). This costume consists of a black Spandex blend zip-up jumpsuit accented with latex paint and black urethane rubber armor pieces on the chest, back, thighs, and shoulders; black leatherette accents on the forearms, chest, thighs, and knees; a pair of white leather stunt gloves and white leather boots with black diamond pattern leatherette details. Included is a black, silver- and gold-color fiberglass helmet marked "HERO DARK WORKING SET" (dark indicating a dark visor version) with a dark tinted visor and a padded interior. The helmet retains its original removable mouthpiece, and has front and backplates connected by elastic that close with fabric and Velcro straps on the interior. The costume's gold-color chest emblem was missing, so a replica cast from original molds has been fitted for display; the belt and "Morpher" buckle are not present. The costume is in highly delicate condition with aging throughout, including deterioration and some separation of the urethane rubber armor components (some recently reattached), a section of armor torn away at the abdomen, and flaking to armor and bodysuit finishes; additional stabilization efforts may be beneficial for long-term preservation. The helmet is in fair overall condition with some wear from production and age. Estimate: $12,000 - 16,000
