Agent C. M. Kruger's (Sharlto Copley) light-up, battle-damaged H.U.L.C. suit costume and bloodied lightweight katana from Neill Blomkamp's Elysium. In the climactic battle, Max da Costa (Matt Damon) and Agent Kruger fought in their H.U.L.C. suits, with Max ultimately victorious.
Elysium - Copley's second of three collaborations with District 9 mastermind Blomkamp - was nominated for eight major awards, earning a Leo® (British Columbia's equivalent of the Oscars® and Emmys®) as well as $286 million at the global box office. The film's acclaimed dystopian aesthetic, including its costume design, was inspired by futurist Syd Mead and NASA technologies of the 1970s.
This ensemble consists of:
A flexible urethane H.U.L.C. exoskull attachment with a patch of synthetic hair.
A flexible urethane H.U.L.C. exoskeleton painted to appear metallic, inset with LEDs in the chest, and affixed with two metal carabiners, fastening strips, and metal bolts for securing to the costume components.
Two pairs of plastic and rubber goggles with elasticated straps.
A two-piece, zipper-connected cotton and spandex blend undersuit with a top labeled "Kruger 4" and bottoms labeled "K2."
A pair of rubber-padded leather fingerless gloves, one of which is affixed with a nonfunctional wired gauntlet applied with a screen-like decal to appear mechanical.
A matching nonfunctional wired gauntlet.
A pair of cotton military stunt pants marked "Kruger Stunt EXO."
A nylon utility belt with a metal buckle.
A pair of leather Original S.W.A.T. lace-up combat boots (Size 10.5 M) with custom urethane armored plating on front.
A vinyl-wrapped, blood-stained lightweight polyurethane katana sword.
Also included are spare screws, bolts, and cording for the suit, as well as a custom mannequin for display. Following production, the costume was sympathetically restored and reassembled, including with the installation of a new power bank on the reverse for the LEDs in the chest. The LEDs currently illuminate when the barrel jack on the bank is plugged into power.
The lot is intentionally distressed throughout to appear battle-damaged with nicks in the katana, fractures in the goggles, tears on the stunt pants, and peeling throughout the H.U.L.C. suit. The lot also shows evidence of wear consistent with on-set use, handling, and age. Dimensions: (displayed) 30" x 16" x 74" (76.25 cm x 40.75 cm x 188 cm)
