well, the one major thing is it's not William Katt but other than that... You don't want to know my answers.

Then again, my Doctor Who outfit has no real reflection on any of the versions save a patchwork jacket. Even there, it's in browns and blacks, not the kalideoscope one that Colin Baker wore (which, IMO, has a great what-if lined up there, but that's another board. )

I'd have to look at the season 3 pics regarding the cape, but at least parts are recreated bits, such as the belt buckle. The rest could possibly be very much worn by the man during season 3, as he didn't have the spats that season, just flares essentially that covered the laces on his boots and hooked on. The reason I doubt the buckle and belt are authentic because there was a small amount of black between the top point and the silver circle. It also looks like Fimo clay, not metal. The cape usually was a button, not a snap and hook, but I'm not sure Season 3's cape, so that one can be 50/50. The tunic's emblem is either the real McCoy or very well done and they spent a lot of money on it if, ex. authentic patches at ballgames can cost you $40 or more.

It's neat that people are caring to even make up the story though in order to sell something that has been off the air for years.

True...but it's pretty interesting given that supposedly there's I think five that are known, as well as at least one Holly Hathaway version one in existence. Plus side... at least it is not a "GAHeroine" Ralph suit. That looked so bad on Katt it wasn't even funny. Makes me wonder if that was how it was going to look if Katt did choose to return to the show.

I think that one would be worth the most money.

I think that one would be worth the most money. Holly's? Yeah, I'd have to agree given the number available. Still doesn't mean I have to like the style of it.

I was thinking of the one Katt wore too actually.

I don't know if the shiny ones Katt wore are in existence (though there were more than one made - based on the start that the ep was going to be two hours), but I do agree with a regular one. If I understood correctly, Marci said that Katt said about five were around when the show was cancelled.

Just because they were not around does not mean that they were burned or anything. Someone could have taken them as mementos or something.

I don't know about the ones he would've worn in "Heroine," so I don't say if they were burned or taken as mementos or not, but I know the originals weren't. Maxwell-FBI has one of the ones from the series.

I am talking about the one he did wear. And yes, I am aware of Frank's.

(The other was just stating that I knew for sure that the original series ones weren't destroyed because Frank had one, but not sure about the GAHeroine one. )

I know. I was aware of that too. However, it doesn't mean that some of the originals were not burned or taken though.

I said I didn't know if they were taken or not, so I do not say that they were. For all I know every one Katt wore is in existence, but then again, Frank could be the only one to have one real one. We don't know and probably will never know.

For all we know, Frank may not even have a real one.

For all we know, Frank may not even have a real one. His I believed was verified by the company and others who were involved in the show in some form or fashion. The one thing that'll get people is that it has an NBC tag in it, but back then it was not uncommon to have any sort of network tag in the clothes.

Because you were on the stage back then to know that for sure? And I am sure Frank's is real, but there is no guarantee of it either.
