Mr. Peanut Costume

Mr. Peanut 2011

Costume type:  Costumes for Adults
Categories:Halloween Costumes, Movie and TV Show Costumes

This homemade costume for adults entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Stephen, the 'Mr. Peanut' costume creator:

I am really into making iconic figures for my Halloween costumes. After seeing the claymation videos of the "new" Mr. Peanut, I knew I had to be him. I (Steve) am inside the suit. The costume took me 5 days to make and is constructed entirely out of foam. The main armature and structure is made of camping foam, and is later covered by a veneer craft foam. I had to sew a suit (which was the most difficult)to fit around the body. The suit covers a parting line where the head and body separates at. After stepping into the lower shell, the body is pulled up and capped by the head. The viewing window is Mr. Peanut's mouth, being a 4x2'' smile. I had a great time with this one, and hope you enjoy it as well!

Hi!
Was wondering if you were still renting the costume and for how much. I'm in Los Angeles.

#6 comment by Moya April 11, 2013

Is this available for sale?

#7 comment by Kim Poole April 21, 2013

I would love to rent this suit as my daughter just got a job with Kraft as a Peanutter. Driving across the country in a peanut moble. I would love to rent this suit for her graduation party from college, which is May 18, 2013. We live in PA. We do have a friend in Maryland who can pick it up. Where are you in Maryland and how much would you charge?

Can I rent or buy it? I am in LA

#9 comment by Stefanie July 31, 2013

I really want to make this for a costume contest this year... Can you give me the exact instructions??? Please!

#10 comment by Stephen Simantiras August 1, 2013

Thank you for all the interests! Unfortunately, I cannot rent out my costumes, being that that they usually got through wear and tear during my one time usage. I would be interested in selling as is. All my costumes are constructed from various foams and soft good materials. Unfortunately, I do not have instructions to build these, being that I make them up as I go. Again, thank you for all the interests!

Hi, I'm confused about how you used foam. Do you 'unstuff' the foam? How do you get it so that you can fit inside of it and slip inside? Sorry, does my question make sense to you? I'm not sure how to say what I mean haha

#12 comment by kaela September 25, 2013

Hi Stephen,
I'd like to inquire about the cost of this costume, if you are still interested in selling. I'm in New York. Thanks!

#13 comment by Ste September 26, 2013

Hey everyone,

Michelle, to answer your question: The foam is actually a two part process. The main shape is built from camping mat foam. This can be bought from Walmart for $10. After the shape is made, I laminate the form with EVA craft foam from Michaels. I usually attach this with super 77 and hot glue. For contours, I hit the foam lightly with a heat gun. I will soon put up a link to my process on FB for anyone to follow.

Kaela, Please contact me at 240 426 0797. Thank you!

Hello there,
Just wondering if you make costumes for order or if you're willing to sell your mr peanut costume? many thanks

#27 comment by Ruben Rodriguez July 2, 2015

FYI before you start making money selling copyrighted or trademarked items you may want to see about licensing. This is not fair use.

#28 comment by Mary February 14, 2018

I have been looking for a costume like this for about five years..... I would love to either buy this from you or rent it.... you can contact me via email, but I would love to hear from you.
