Re: studio used cylon photo
Yes, I've seen it on yourprops.com some time ago.
The owners' website on http://www.moviepropsmuseum.com/thecollection2.htm does have two more pictures of it.
The whole costume looks pretty well beat up, not to mention the missing parts like the smooth part of the wrist armor and one glove. Also note the weird replica mouthpiece, which seems to be made out of leather (!)
Getting curious about the item I've contacted the owner once for some additional pictures, but without success.

Re: studio used cylon photo
If anything I would say it was one of the ones they "blew up" on the show... and the mouth piece is all sorts of wrong, yes. Also, missing one arm armor, and the one he does have on - is on the WRONG side! Goodness... there is a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong and EVERYONE always gets it wrong!! *slaps forehead*
Also, $60,000 price tag? It better be a real working robot for all that money. Crazy.

Re: studio used cylon photo
I heard about this about 1 month ago, and I had idea where it was located at. Some friend of a friend of a friend type of deal, man what a mess that was. Anyway that is man a guy with balls. Show off a prized collection piece as it is trash, and ask for money than ever asked before. Marketing skills man, markets skills. Anyway it was sold back in November, but I have no idea how much it sold for. 60K....a pipe dream, or someone that a lot of extra money to throw away.

I contacted the guy that had it, ask him a few polite questions, and he replied back asking who I was. I replied back, and heard nothing back.

Re: studio used cylon photo
Why would anyone reply back "well who are you" to a question about something for sell??? Guy is crazy and must not want to sell the thing to anyone. (Like he ever will for $60K, unless they have more money than brains.)GoldCylon wrote:I contacted the guy that had it, ask him a few polite questions, and he replied back asking who I was.

I just noticed that he's missing a glove too. And the way the photos are done... I wonder what there is from the belt down, what is missing, or how messed up it is? You would think since any questions seem to be a bother, there would be better photos of it up front. Especially for such an asking price.

You mean you didn't notice a wrist armor piece was missing also, and yes how much was missing below the belt. I can ID this suit as one that was used in "The Young Lords"

Yeah, I saw the arm armor was missing in the first post by Red Eye.GoldCylon wrote:You mean you didn't notice a wrist armor piece was missing also, and yes how much was missing below the belt. I can ID this suit as one that was used in "The Young Lords"
It is a crazy item - the missing stuff... the extra stuff... the PRICE! C.R.A.Z.Y.

From all the fading color it appears to be one of the Cylon costumes that was dragged through the swamp in "The Young Lords" episode. What a darn shame.

Yes, plus are the big old water spots on the chest from the 70s too?!

Re: studio used cylon photo
I really like to see some detailed pictures of this costume.
I'm curious if the boots and the gauntlets are still present...
