Description

"Swamp Thing" creature suit display from Swamp Thing: The Series. (USA, 1990-1993) This impressive, life-sized creature suit stands approx. 80.5 in. tall, and is instantly recognizable as the hulking half-man, half-plant mutant that "Dr. Alec Holland" (Dick Durock) becomes after being set on fire, doused with chemicals, and dumped in a Louisiana swamp by his evil coworker. The highly detailed suit is mounted on a professional mannequin and display stand. The suit is constructed over a green spandex undersuit covered in foam latex and polyurethane foam elements painted green, yellow and brown to simulate vines and algae from a swamp. The character design is based on the Swamp Thing comic-book character, written by Len Wein and illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. The zipper closure in the back is concealed with studio "swamp" debris. Shows light production wear. Some of the vegetation is coming loose but overall displays very well. This item is located in the eastern United States. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
