Green Goblin Movie Suit

AZspidey · Aug 4, 2009

Ive seen the topic brought up a few times, but nothing really in depth on the actual suit. So I am starting this thread to see if you fellow rpf members can identify certain pieces of the suit. We all know where the helmets come from, so lets focus on the suit. I am most confused as to what they used for the arms and the neck pieces (ribbed material). Any help would be great.

Would be a great costume to do, the body armour is cool!

I have all the fiberglass pieces that someone offered here a few years ago, I was hoping people with better skills than me might be able to offer suggestions for the other pieces.

I worked at ADI when they did the Goblin suit. The helmets where all fiberglass from a silicone mold of the original sculpt.

The suits where then completely custom made out of a leather material out of house and all the armor where separate vacuu formed pieces of plastic covered in more of the leather like material. These where then glued onto the suit.

The helmets had a special paint job done to get that green, blue, purple, silver chromatic sheen. it was an expensive multi step automotive paint process and I believe the armor was hit with a few of the steps to add the sheen effect to them.

At one point there where fiber optics running along the seams of the suit that would have had a green laser sent through it to glow which was pretty cool.

Nice, I have a couple of friends ready to sculpt the complete suit if we can find enough interest in it....

I'd be interested pending price/trade value. That'd be a cool project. However, you'd have to find someone to do the bodysuit...

That is some very good information

I have a couple of well known sculptors ready to go. I am thinking the complete suit/armor will retail around $2900.00.....

To me the pieces look like they could be stitched color changing vinyl, like skintex chroma. http://www.yourautotrim.com/chcochvi.html
They have an "Emerald To Purple" that looks like it could fit the bill.

I have some great pics someone posted a while back of the screen used suit on display somewhere.

If it will help I can post them here.

Those are great pics. Anyone else notice that it doesn't look like the back of the helmet is connected to the rest of it?

Hi guys who actualy does the mask or is it not made anymore down under her in australia it seems to be hard to find info or bits for many things 1/1 scale like this or my terminator project

There was a pep for the helmet floating around somewhere, I believe it was by Dungbeetle. Maybe we can sweet talk Robo into doing a pep of this suit after he finishes his stormtrooper one :love

The "leather" fabric looks A LOT like the new Battlestar Galactica flightsuits. I know a lot of work went into sourcing that stuff a few years back for all those Viper Pilots, It may be worth resurrecting some of those old sources to compare them with these photos.

The leather bodysuit, if it is put together like I think it is, is INSANE! Mind you this observation comes from someone with years of experience in costume construction specializing in patternmaking and tailoring. It looks like they took that green metallic leather and pieced it out in a way that alternated outside to inside. For instance, the ribs on the arms aren't ribs, but narrow strips of leather sewn together alternating which side faces outward. Does this make sense to everyone?

Edit: Upon further inspection it looks like there are several techniques at work. At the top back of the neck you can see where some of the ribbing is topstitched onto the backside-up leather and clear tubing is inserted. The rest of neck seems like channels sewn into the leather. The gloves just have decorative topstitching. Complex piece.

Its a pretty laborious undertaking. I personally would charge 2k just to put the bodysuit together. Crazy! Then again when you consider that the studio dumped 10k plus for each of these, you can't really expect to make one for $200 bucks.
