Description :

Very rare "Revenge of the Jedi" boxed costume from Ben Cooper Company of Brooklyn. Portrays Star Wars' Klaatu (Jabba the Hut's associate). REVENGE of the Jedi is printed on the costume front, but the box states RETURN of the Jedi. This may be due to the fact that George Lucas changed the title of the film after trailers and some promo products were already in production -  he felt Jedi would never actually seek revenge. The movie was released as "Return of the Jedi" as were virtually all promotional products with the exception of a few like this costume that we think was produced during that transitional period.

The costume & mask appear to never have been worn. The box is original and is in great condition (slight protrusion where nose of mask touches lid). Box says New Star Wars Klaatu 738 TM & Lucas Film (LFL) 1983. Costume made in Taiwan while mask was made in the USA. Child's size medium (fits 45" - 50" tall child) and is made of flame-retardant vinyl. 

Amazing find not only for condition, but for contradiction between packaging and product itself. 

Shipping available only through Fed Ex Pack & Ship
