Do you think Vinnie still owns some parts of it ?
i wonder who has this costume now after it went auctioned in 2000

Maybe one day we'll find out where all this stuff is now as time goes on and people come out of the woodwork to let us know what they have.

I assume it all got sold back then, there would be some Kiss fans out there who have this.

Something tells me that Paul and Gene have most of this stuff still. I could see them either selling it TO THEMSELVES through a third party or buying some of the essentials back. If a Hard Rock Cafe bought them, I'm sure there would be some clause in the contract that Kiss gets first chance at buying stuff back. Just speculation of course.

Has anyone else noticed this?

In the Kiss Rise to It video, the bit where they're in make up backstage, there's a drummer warming up (it's not Eric or Peter) he's wearing Vinnie's waistcoat from the COTN tour!!!!!!

See right at the start...

Costumes were all fucked up on that video shoot. It is meant to be Eric drumming (pretending to be Peter).

I think they just raided the costumes and put on whatever fit!

I don't know how many costumes there were. But parts of his creatures costume were for sale or sold a while back. Most the pieces to the costume were on a Kiss fan site that sold lots of stuff like their Costumes. The costume pieces I saw that sold went for pretty fair prices not cheap but not expensive for what they were. I don't remember the name of the site though. I remember they had lots of Eric C's stuff. There is a story that Eric, and V had to wear Ace, and Peter's costumes for 1 live show, cause there was a lot of snow at the particular event, and they're costumes didn't make it. It may be safe to say that there was probably 1 costume, if not maybe a spare or two. Just a guess though.

you got to weigh no more than 90lbs and be under 5ft 5 to get into his costumes that pre-date 1989.

Eeeeeeeeuuuughhh! I hope whoever had to wear Ace's pants wore a Hazmat chemical set of pants underneath!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
