nicholas hammond style costume???

[tspider]

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a classic spiderman appearance costume, just like the one they used on the spidey tv show with nicholas hammond back in 1977. I saw one on ebay about a month ago but none since. I believe they called it the angry eyes style costume. Any info from anyone would be much appreciated as I really want to buy one. Thanks, Tspider.

[Spideyohio]

Make that two people that are interested in that costume...I'd love to have one too.

[reveal]

This costume is very rare.
there have been people that have made replicas of them, but my advice is to keep an eye on ebay.
This kind of costume pops up on ebay every now and then...

[Dangerous]

Hmmm I wonder how many are out there, originals from the TV serial and movies I mean..
They made three features and lots of episodes and I know the costume was altered from 77-80 so there must have been a few.

[tspider]

Hey everyone,
thanks for the replies and info. I last saw one of these on ebay some time ago and it went for 600 bucks!. I unfortunately didn't have the funds or I would have got it then and there. I believe it was a replica also. If anyone has any pics of these costumes, originals and replicas, I'de love to see em. Thanks again.

$625 UDS (including S&H to be exact).

This was the auction description (modified) if it helps. This description is full of information regarding this suit:
Replica of the "Classic" Spider-Man costume / appearance suit prop from the late 70's through the mid 80's. The style of this suit is affectionately nicknamed "angry eyes" due to the face mask's eye shape a'la "Steve Ditko". The original suits were manufactured by the Eaves Brooks costume company and was the basis for the early Marvel Tour and Appearance suits (showcased in numerous promotional material). This style was also modified for use in the short lived 70's Television series starring Nicholas Hammond.)

The Amazing Spider-man comic # 262 showcases a photo cover of a "decapitated angry eye" Spider-Man suit worn by actor/stuntman Scott Leva.

The Replica one piece costume is made of 4-way high quality stretch spandex and 2 special silkscreened inks are used for the highly accurate webbing. The face, the back of the head, gloves and boots are screened with a "reflective" ink that gives this suit a special 3-D highlight while the rest of the body screen is in standard matte black ink. The patterns and web lines are all based on the original suit. All the details are faithfully captured from the stitching of the suit, the embroidery of the back spider aplique, all the way to the metal back zipper and the accurate leather feet bottoms.


slight modifications have been incorporated into the design in order to set the replica apart from the original.
· The first being the 2 types of ink used in screening the web lines as listed above.
· The second is found on the back Spider. The Replica has a RED EMBROIDERY while the original has a BLACK OUTLINE.
· Finally, the last modification can be found in the belt area detail.

The original tour suit's belt comes to a "rounded elliptical point" with the actual belt having TWO web lines horizintally across. The replica has only ONE web line across and the belt comes to a more "angular point".

This suit was NOT created for mass production sale. (There should be less than twenty assembled.)

Hope this helps.

Hey alterego2,
thanks heaps for that info buddy, my computer crashed just after that auction and I lost all those details. I was racking my brain about who made these costumes. Since my last post I have found the guy who makes these replicas and I'm now in the process to try and sell off my old classic spidey costume plus some star wars gear on Ebay so I can get the cash. I was told I'm looking at around $1000 bucks so it looks like I've got alot of selling to do. Anyway thanks again for the info,
Cheers, Todd.

[Alterego2]

Can you share who your contact is for the suit? I was told by another that the maker was located in Italy? What type of suit is your comic style costume...got any pics?

[tspider]

Yeah,
It's a website that goes by the name of action-actors.com and they have top quality costumes. I don't know too much more but when I'm ready to get one I'll be talking more to them. Mine is the standard comic style which I purchased some time ago for $500 off a costume company. It's made just like the one I want, very professional and I've seen it used at theme parks and store appearances, but It's not what I want and have been looking for the old style appearance suit for ages. Give me your email and I'll send you some pics.

WHY? WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT THAT SUIT, UNLESS THEY JUST WANTED TO BURN NICHOLAS HAMMOND IN EFFIGY? :down:(

WHY? WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT THAT SUIT, UNLESS THEY JUST WANTED TO BURN NICHOLAS HAMMOND IN EFFIGY?

That is a mighty strong statement....I, for one have always equated that suit with the first "REAL LIFE" Spiderman. I remember vividly watching that show on tv and waiting for the next weeks episode...NOW..in my later years I recently purchased a set of VCD's that has all the episodes of the show...and to be quite honest...The show did a very bad job of portraying Spiderman..BUT...that being said, it was still one of the stepping stones in the Spiderman franchise and must have played a role to get us to the point we are today with the franchise????

Thanks for the pics. I cannot believe that the suit used on the show was actually "angy eyes" with a modification to add the lenses!!!!!! I guess my memory did not serve me correct..thought it was designed in a similar light but was at least somewhat different.

[inkmonkey]

Well here's one that just popped up on ebay. Good "buy it now" price too.

Tspider,

Be very careful with Action Actors. I have not had first hand experience but I have read some scary reveiws on other boards. Here you can read it for yourself http://com1.runboard.com/bbrotherhoodofthebat.fmoviescartoonscollectibles.t 5168

P.S. Use the other links in the second post on that page to read more.

[tspider]

Thanks again superpower,
I'm now treading very carefully and am in 2 minds about what to do. I have been told that he can provide me with a classic appearance costume for $1000 bucks and I am considering it providing I see pics forst and the cash exchange is safe. I'm not sure what to do as I have never dealt with him before and hate to judge. So far communication has been good so I don't know, anyway thanks again for the info.

Well I wish you the best of luck Tspider. Do shop around though 1000 is real high for that suit.

[Alterego2]

Hi everyone,
thanks for all the comments regarding this thread. My search has ended as I have just purchased the suit I have been after for ages. I'll post some pics when I learn how to.

Yeah, thanks buddy that would help heaps. I purchased the item from Corey Sosner at Action Actors.com. The costume is very well made and high quality, not like the super deluxe spidey suit I purchased a while ago. That was ok, but poorly made considering the price.

Here you go...

Sorry not the best quality...Pic you sent was HUGE..had to modify to allow me to upload it to image site.

[Alterego2]

NOW THIS IS IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TSPIDER asked me to post these pics of an "angry eyed" classic Spiderman suit that he modified (he's got balls of steel) to look like a Nicholas Hammond version of the suit:up: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/856124/01.jpghttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/856124/mycstume1.jpg

Alright Bro, Now you have to make the "seperate-styled" Plastic looking boot to be done-on accurate :)

[Alterego2]

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/856124/mycstume1.jpg

and another pic....which is the "REAL" Spidey? top or bottom?

[tspider]

Hey thanks heaps again for your help buddy, yes while the mask is near accurate I have some more stuff to do. My next project which will be here next week will be the belt and webshooter. It's a resin kit that needs to be painted and when thats complete I'll send you some pics. I also have some gloves coming which I will have to detail with fabric paint. After that I'm then gonna look for the boots to match which will also need to be detailed. Everything is coming along nicely, and while most love the new movie style spidey costume including me, I still love the tv style the most.

the costume looks great!:up:

[Duneboy]

yes, the Hammond outfit always rocked (despite the metallic bracelet & belt). It's got that "down to earth (believability)" quality to it. When the heck are they gonna release that show on dvd???

[tspider]

Thanks for the compliments on the suit guys. Yes I also want to see them release the series on dvd, as I only have the cheap Ebay copied dvd's you can get which aren't really good quality.

[tzarinna]

That is a good job.

Those jokers are siting on that DVD release for some reason,I love living in the past.

Il tell you sumthing, for all the naysayers these early suits are a hell of a lot more authentic and realistic looking than the one if the Sam Raimi films.

If they could have given the angry eyes suit decent eyes and modified front and back spider designs, I would have easily prefared them to use this suit in the current films.

[Dangerous]

And yeah, now that they have given us the 60's show boxset we need the rest of the stuff-

-70's live action series dvd
-70's live action films (3) dvd
-Spider-man and amazing friends boxset dvd
-Solo Spider-man 80's boxset dvd
-90's Spider-man animated show boxset

[Alterego2]

I too am a big fan of the nicholas hammond style costume but I would love to get my hands on the Universal Studios suit!!!

Anyone have any info they would care to share?

Thanks in advance

Thanks man, that just made a crappy day at work a little more tolerable.

[raven28690]

thought i would revive this old thread and chime in that while the new movie suits look impressive, im more apt to the older suits as well as i believe alot of the older generation of fans are more keen to those suits since we grew up with them.
while most younger fans find it hard to believe, im one of the few who like the hammond suit over the movie one. if i had to explain it i guess it would be since that was the first "real" spiderman i had saw .

which leads me to ask, is anyone even still making the older and classic suits besides AA?
