You Could Own The Worst King Koopa Costume Ever | Kotaku Australia

Quote:

A charcoal coloured two-piece faux snakeskin distressed costume worn by Dennis Hopper in the production of the motion picture Super Mario Bros. (Allied Filmmakers, 1993). Hopper played the character King Koopa in this live action film version of the Nintendo video game. The top is marked “Stunt” in silver ink, while the pants are marked “Hero”. Costume is in fragile condition. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Acquired from Rob Burman, the prosthetic makeup designer on the film.

So it's actually two halves of different sets of the suit.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Not to mention the top half looks like it was ripped up by an angry fan.

If barely anyone saw the movie, I doubt they're gonna want to buy something from it.

I could probably make an outfit just like that for a lot cheaper. -CSM

But it wouldn't be Dennis Hopper's King Koopa costume then. It'd be just...some suit.

But then again, you could wear it without it disintegrating then. Of course, having the original to help use as a guide for making a new one would be the best compromise.
