well I think the armor we made back in 83 was used by Jackson
and is on display in the Grammy museum
I was watchin CNN and they showed it....
We made Legg gauntlets ( scaled leg armor ) and the ones they
had looked like ours however modified
The story behind the armor - I was at a auction and bought a semi
load of white Footbal shoulder pad parts,,
I called Lucasfilm to sell it to be used as Stormtrooper armor...
they had just shelved the Star wars franchise.
So I called Doud white makeup effects... he bought some for a gilm
called metalsorm... Peter mosen of starlog
Bought some to make a ceylon centurion and also a Rock group
called THOR.... also Clyde Calwell a artist
of Dungeon and dragons fame used it for packageing..\
Basically we took the pieces and plated them in Chrome... sold
through Morris costumes in Charlotte NC.
We also made some spiked leather and accessorys and advertised in
back of Starlog.... sold as
Warrior fantasy Armor..... actually used a local Female
impersonator in the photos because he was the only
one that would dress that wild in 1983.... Funny eh?? Now is the
norm.. go figure,,,,
So it appears Michael Jackson did use our armor.... or at least
parts..
we also had contacted WB about making Mad max jackets as we had
the exact parts.... However they wanted 50K upfront//// so we
never did them
The idea was to have Miller and Gibson sign them and do a
collectable piece.
Ohhhh.... when I bid on the shoulder pad parts... the auctioner
thought I was a nut as no one wanted the
Lot... so when I offered 2.00 for a 48 foot truck full... he
pointed and said SOLD!!!
It cost several 100 to move
Our 1st order we sold 12,000.00 not bad ROI eh?
We sold it until like 86 when i thought my son would wonder what
the heck his parents did .
well when he was older he said what?? you gave it away.. and
cried... and said " I couldd have made Robocop costume of that !!
