Bender and Leela Fan-Made Costumes

By Alex in Fashion, Film on Aug 22, 2007 at 10:33 am

Chris and Kim Knight love to create costumes and props for themselves. For example, here are their Bender and Leela costumes. How they made Leela’s mono-eye is interesting:

The eyeball was originally a tap light. When that didn’t allow much visibility, we switched to the plastic blister pack from the same tap light cut a little bit smaller than the first version and painted with a very light dusting of white on the inside. Even though visibility was much better in early testing, she was blind once again when it was actually glued to her face.

    Since Bender’s catch phrase was “bite my shinny metal ass”, is the ass piece of Bender’s costume shinny & metallic?

    “Leela took some weight…”

    With only one eye, it’s probably harder to judge portion size.

    For a one eyed chick. Leela is hot.
    For a one or two eyed chick, Kim is not.
