Chain: Plastic "Pimp Chain" purchased from the Spirit Store to resemble the chain Evil Ash wore to hold his cape spray painted to match armor.
Forearm Armor: Kids Star Wars Costume Piece we found at Dollar Tree, spray painted to match armor.
Rib Cage Armor: Latex Skeleton Wings purchase from the Spirit Halloween Store.
We cut a section of the wings off and spray painted them.
Shirt: Target sales rack
Pants: Purchased at the Flea Market ($ 5.00)
