LOL, That is good! Nice find TJ.

I agree. Nice find and awesome Eagle costume. The helmet looks great!

Very awesome costume! And it certainly does answer the question!

Yes, the costume looks great -especially the helmet! I can't help but think that the latex or PVC that the costume appears to made of wouldn't be the most comfortable thing to wear for extended periods though. He's probably sweating -could explain why this Eagle appears to be drinking Gatorade!

Are you, like me, starting to really think "Where did they get that?" or "How did they make that?" every time you see a really good helmet? I came across this at this site (and used google translate) http://www.n-pachi.jp/topics/gacchaman/index.html Aside from being highly amused to think what an all-female Science Ninja Team might turn out like, the helmets on display in the case got my attention. I find myself wondering if they're something that was ever mass-manufactured, and if there are ones out there, somewhere, that can yet be purchased...

Great article, LB! Thanks for posting! The helmets in the case look like the one that girl at SDCC was wearing. They said they bought them in Asia... but didn't give any details. Although I got the impression that it might have been a bootleg item, because they implied that Tatsunoko forced the company to stop selling them. In any case, yes, I have been thinking about helmets...
