Mayor McCheese costume
http://ping.fm/8oxvM
Full sized McDonaldland Mayor McCheese.
HEAD: Original 1970s fiberglass head. Was purchased by some McDonald's back in the day for special appearances. Not many were purchased, and even fewer survived. I bought this off eBay years ago. It was in pretty bad shape. I scrubbed and cleaned it all up. The cheese was destroyed, but I replaced it with custom dyed upholstery foam (just as the original). One of the clear eye pieces was missing - I replicated an exact duplicate and replaced it. Head is now in great condition with just some minor paint dings and scratches here and there. It's not terribly heavy and I made a custom harness that wraps around the chest to support it. There are holes in the front of the burger and below the chin for fair visibility.
COSTUME: Custom made by me using old original pix for reference. Fits average sized person (5'8"-6"). Glasses are styrene w/ vacuformed lenses. Shoes are size 10, but could be replaced easily with any common patent leather shoes.
WEARING IT OUT: The costume is actually fairly comfortable to wear. With the harness inside holding the head, there is little weight on your shoulders. Visibility is fair, but it's a good idea to have a handler with you at all times. There is a lot of space inside the head, so you don't get too much of a claustrophobic feeling.
SHIPPING: Due to the enormous size of the head, shipping would be $100. SORRY, NO FOREIGN ORDERS! Local pick up is fine (I'm in Minneapolis). And for a fee, I'd be willing to "meet you halfway" if you are in the midwest.
I had a lot of fun refurbishing this head, creating the costume and wearing it out in public but it's time to pass it on. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. Be the hit of the next costume party or convention!
