The Warriors Movie Site Forum

I believe she was the costume designer of the Warriors (WARNING: Partial nudity) http://www.bobbiemannix.com/index2.html

great find! maybe we can contact her about the moonrunners jacket?

exactly what i was thinking

Been there and done that.  I got a reply from her assistant but heard nothing else back.
Bobbie didn't design the logo's/patches though.  That was (off the top of my head) Mary ellen Watson.  Theres is someone with the same name that runs a costume business in new york city.  No idea if its the same woman.

9th and I have contacted her a couple of months back. It fell off really:

PM I got from 9th (sorry if u didn't want me to post)
I recieved a reply from Bobbie Mannix's assistant, so at least we're not falling on deaf ears.  I'm not going to mention anything about making replica costumes.  I'm going to give the link to the costume page on this site and say we want to use them as part of a presentation email to paramount studios to show them what the fans want as extras for a future dvd release.  She took part in the last one, so she might go for that story.  Anyways, here's the reply I got...........

This is Bobbie's assistant, Debbie Tos-Colombo.  She wanted me to thank you for your interest in her work.  She's flattered.  However, could we have a bit more info on where these images would be seen, etc.  Unfortunately, we are in the throes of 4 commercials and a movie teaser so she is hard-pressed to dig anything up at this moment.

Then
No word since that first email.  She did say they were busy with 4 commercials. wether they remember about the request afterwards or just brush us off remains to be seen.

Maybe someone else wants to give it a shot. Good luck

that sounded very genuine to me... maybe we'll have some luck in the future

The Mary Ellen Winston that 9th was referring to:

Mary Ellen Winston Inc
11 E 68th St, New York, New York 10021
212-879-0766       

Anyone want to give her a try? She does costumes, maybe she still has patches laying around. We can only hope!!

i just spoke to mary, a very lovely lady.  she asked me what logo i was referring to exactly since he has made 7 other films since the warriors.  she didn't have any pictures or patches of the logos but she did share w/ me that the patches themselves were more expensive than the vinyl moon runner jackets and that the patches were made in an embroidery shop out in the east coast, she was working out of California.  she said my best bet would be to contact Paramount.

she'll be like "ohh yeah by the way i do have these "moonrunners" patches lying around since the 70's".. haha imagine

whoa whoa whoa wait up... you just spoke to mary? and has a brief warriors chat? thats awesome!!

AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME. I knew the patches cost more than the rest of the outfits. I can tell you that you will get NOWHERE with paramount. Too bad she doesn't still have the designs.

all of this trouble is only gonna make it that much sweeter once we get it all sorted. put me down on the waiting list for one of these lier.

I added you. I am going to let the seller know we have 7 people who will buy a full jacket and 1 who just wants a patch. I think he needs 10 to do it.

i'm really excited now!!!! think you could get a blue jacket just like the electric eliminator one we both have? i want them to match.  oh and whats this gonna run me homie?

  I beleive the MR jackets are SILVER, not BLUE. Also, I am NOT the seller so I do not know what he will charge. If you have the EE, you know it is reasonable.
