Pink Croc
|
|
Pink croc is a fully handmade inflatable latex/rubber costume with two exceptions the internal molded rubber gloves, and the shoes. The main feature, its head is based upon a solid head box, a plastic skull so to speak. This makes it easy to put on and remove the head once inflated unlike a hood based product of a similar nature. This also allows for breathing as air can flow in and around the face.
The entire costume inflates using as few valves as possible usually one per item, one in the head, one in a boot... ect. The valves used are recycled bike valves making it very easy to blow up the costume using a variety of inflation devises from large foot pumps to small discreet hand pumps. Deflating is just as simple with the use of a valve remover to unscrew the core allowing the air to flow out.

Pink croc is one of my own designs taken from wildlife images of real crocs, the colour however is due to pressure for a younger sister to create somthing pink! This costume features clawed gloves and long tail (held up via clear elastic attached to the rear of the top) with ribbed looking under belly running through to the front of the shorts. The head to this costume is a reasonably weighty peice with its large jutting jaws. Vision provided via the open mouth where it has a seprately inflated tounge.
This costume can be ordered made to measeure for boys or girls. it is more than feesable to purchase it in parts or adjust said parts to your desire, say to make head with a big bow, a pair of clawed gloves, or preahaps even just a pair of tailed shorts!
