ORIGINAL ROCKETEER COMPLETE COSTUME |
Updated: November 26, 2006
Complete costume from The Rocketeer. (Disney, 1991) This
complete costume includes a pair of khaki pants made of a
quilted fireproof material with elastic stirrups and zippered
flares, used for the special effects sequences; a custom-made
jacket of distressed tan leather with a fire-retardant quilted
lining and brass-finished buttons, also used for the special
effects sequences; a static rocket pack constructed of
fiberglass/resin painted silver with black exhaust nozzles
(some paint chipping and nicks to the fuselage from production
use); a pair of black leather knee boots with lace-up closure
at the uppers; and a fantastic original hero helmet as worn by
Bill Campbell in the title role as Cliff Secord, the young
pilot who is transformed into the high-flying masked hero,
"The Rocketeer". Each piece exhibits usual wear and distress
from normal production use. The costume comes with
certificates of authenticity from Disney for the jacket and
pants. This is the only complete Rocketeer costume ever
offered to collectors and may be the only opportunity to
acquire one, as most existing pieces of the costume were
broken up and sold individually.
Value: $20,000 - $30,000
