Years ago I saw this show up on the costume scene and instantly fell in love with it. I had thought that it had fallen off the face of the earth. Recently I tracked it down and negotiated a trade with the owner. Three years later and this puppy is all mine...just pulled it out of the boxes about an hour ago. I wish my roomates weren't out of town or I would have this baby on and take decent pics, but alas photos of it sprwaled out on my floor will have to suffice. This thing is a Monster!!! very well made and sturdy..hard plastics, metal and fiberglass make up most of it's composition. I am adding super bright EL wire inside, around the eyes to give them that "hell spawn" glow. Not pictured is the back "bug" I still have to re-attach all the arms.

I think I saw this one up on EBay about a year ago. My wife was drooling over it. She loves Spawn and Manga. Great acquisition!!!!

~DD
 
That thing looks nutz! What a great piece. A lot of labor went into that bad boy. Get a pic of you suited when you can.
 
DAMN!!! That is one sweet & MASSIVE suit!!!

FYI - I read this online yesterday, but if u haven't heard...A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW SPAWN MOVIE IN THE WORKS!!!
Here's the best part, Todd McFarlane himself is going to be funding this new SPAWN film! I guess he (& many others) was extremely disappointed by the version that came out a few years back, so now he's taking it upon himself to make another one that'll be more like the comics & less of a cheesy knock-off. This is going to be his biggest endeavor yet, he's still in the process of writing up the script & says he's doing the entire story much darker & also it'll start right from the very beginning...again! It all sounds like its gonna be one helluva ride for him to see it through til the end! I wasn't a die-hard Spawn fan, but I greatly admire & respect the amount of passion he's putting into this new project to make sure it's done right this time!

I came across this today while checking over my Dragon Con pictures. These should hold you over till you can don the suit yourself. Great score!

Welcome to spawn alley!

This Moble Armor Suit was inspired by Tod McFarlands ''Manga Spawn Action figure!

We're proud to bring you this SUPER MANGA SPAWN, FULL ARMOR COSTUME/DISPLAY PIECE!!! This is a one-off build costume. Featuring real metal machined parts and strong ABS high impact industrial plastic that is factory colored, no paint chipping.

This is a very well made walk around costume. This is used only 7 times and its about 2 years old. Made to fit the builder but can fit a few sizes bigger or smaller. Model/builder was medium build 175 pounds and 6'2 at the time of the costume's build. Size 10-11footwear. The actual piece weighs around 100 pounds and is well spread and balanced throughout the body. COMFORTABLE. Helmet's base of one standard sporting helmet and should fit most people. The eyes actually glow on the helmet!! Eyes have a slot that fits one mini glow stick each and are painted with glow-in-the-dark glitter paint, GREAT effect. This is one HUGE costume!!! Shoulder span is around 41/2 - 5'. When fully assembled this monster is about 7' 6" tall! This costume adds about 7-8" of extra height. -The grafitti wall in the first pictures is an 8 plus foot city alley wall! This would be compared to size with Power Rangers villan costumes. ~ The costume has taken many show's best awards, including one 5000 dollar cash prize and many other top dollar cash prizes.... not to mention the many trophey that this has brought home!!! This is a three time best of show at the hard rock cafe here in Denver!!!

The builder of this costume has even sat down and chatted with the REAL All Simmons and discussed some of his costume's build. This all took place at the MAJESTICON 2000 (JLS' original spawn costume. )) One quote from the real Al Simmons was " They sent me around the world with the movie costume to different conventions but I'd of rather have taken YOUR costume instead of te movie costume because this one is soooo good and well fitting!!!

Condition of the costume is showing very few flaws with most of it still looking totally awesome!!! This will be ABS polished before it is shipped . The hips on this grand costume feature ball bearing hip joint mechs from 6061 T6 aluminum stock as well as the manual turned huge aluminum spikes. Hand formed armor on shoulders and knees are nickle plated stock. More than 2000 rivets on this costume! All ABS sheet material is strong and sturdy .090 - .060 industrial stock. All plastics used here are "plastic welded" with 2345 weld-on solvent... this means that it is bonded for life and SUPER strong. This is rock solid.

ANy questions can call the costume's builder personally, ask for Jeff. Phone number is: 1-303-403-1652 . Mountain times are in consideration but you can call anytime you want, feel free.

No short cuts with detail, all here is made to be ultra pleasing to the eyes. BACK SPIDER / huver is a whole piece within its self!!! It attaches to the costume... it features titainum wire rim with an - -- mylar fabric wing... glow in the dark eyes! ... made from ABS....
 
Yup....those are the picture that made me first drool over the suit...Thanks for posting this...I was looking all over the net for these. I'll have some new pics up sometime next week.
 
I was one of the bidders on this suit when it was on e-bay and obviously lost.. CONGRATS!!

I actually lost on that auction way back when as well...I just happened to remember the winner...Flash foward, he contacts me about a costume piece that I had, and a trade was negotiated. Funny how life works out sometimes, isnt it?
 
WICKED SUIT MAN, BUT I GOTTA ADMIT THE ORIGINAL SPAWN COSTUME IS STILL MY FAVE.
ANYONE ON THE FORUM TRIED MAKIN ONE OF THOSE YET ?
