Product Information

I cut a hole in the bottom front of the box and took a cheap flashlight from Home Depot (or Target or gas station) unscrewed the top light and placed it in the hole.

This Cyberman Controller helmet was used in the 1967 serial The Tomb of the Cybermen starring Patrick Troughton as The Doctor and represents one of two helmets made the story which introduces the Cyberman Controller portrayed by Michael Kilgarriff. You'll do yourself a huge favor if you wear under armor form fitting shirt and briefs/shorts underneath to help absorb the inevitable sweat you'll have while wearing this.

To help keep the buttons attached, I used a knife to create small slits in the fabric and slipped the back of the buttons in with the glue.What I did was to cut the straps off of the overalls, and glue (and then wire-mount) the ends to the back of the console. Still not quite sure what the BBC used for these as they certainly look like they had pretty full range of leg and arm motion on these.

I still had restricted movement but I could walk with that slow Cyber-lumber and the knee joint held so I was happy.The suits are now silver, consistent with the general look of the Cybermen which has long been established, but they do retain the metal rings over the limbs even if the colour of the suits does differ slightly. Some velcro strips on the back of the console, and stitched to the front of the suit, help to stabilize the chest piece while I am in motion. The head is constructed of fibreglass with thick foil around the eyes and mouth which are backed from the inside with mesh, the ear pieces are clear flexible tubing with solid perspex pieces at the top and bottom to form the curved shape and the interior of the helmet features a black elastic loop which was used to hold the torch in place. so I added a dark blue photography gel to the eye holes inside and a stetch of black nylon from some pantyhose for the mouth and they worked fine.
