Ok. Doc is that a Devo suit? Never mind that now, never mind that now. Slinky week continues with a costume made from giant Slinky like materiel. The costume has a look reminiscent of Marty McFly’s yellow radiation suit from Back To The Future. It also has the retractable arms he had on his self drying jacket from the future. Coincidence? Well it’s from 1987, in between the first two movies. The description states: In recent years the public’s increasing fascination with high technology has led to a greater demand for “space-age” costumes which utilize new materials and which are futuristic in appearance. Typically, these costumes depict such characters as astronauts, robots, androids and various beings, both human and non-human, from popular science fiction books, movies and television programs.
