Picture A shows the prototype of Ace's Destroyer costume. The most noticeable difference is the top. If you look carefully, you will see that the silver line that surrounds the triangle is only a single line. On picture B you see the common version, which has two, broader lines, and much puffier "wings"! Another difference was the boots. A few pictures were taken of the prototype, where you can see that the boots were shiny black, unlike the silver boots on picture C that Ace later wore with the outfit. I may be mistaken, but I think the black boots might be the same as on picture I in the Ace part of the 1973-74 section.
Picture D shows the cuffs for the costume! Like the rest of the costume these were a black material with rhinestones, and had silver borders. Compare the cuffs from the prototype with the finished version on picture B... like the top these had a double silver line, unlike the prototypes single line!
A slightly puffier top was added to the costume, when KISS started the Rock And Roll Over tour.
Picture E shows Ace's costume from behind! As you can see, the space theme also extended to the back!

ace76b.jpg (58975 Byte)Picture F and G shows the Psycho Circus variation, which has an even larger, puffier top. Larger than any of the previous versions. The leotard was originally plain black, just as the original costume was. But later Ace changed to a leotard similar to the one used for his Love Gun- and Reunion tour costumes, which is decorated with rhinestones (picture G).
Picture H gives us a rare glimpse of the Psycho Circus costume from behind. Compare this to picture E, and you'll se it's close match to the original!
Picture I shows Ace at the St. Louis concert on August 26th 2000. Apparently it was extremely hot in the arena that evening, and Ace appeared on stage for the encores wearing a KISS T-shirt instead of his usual costume. Very unusual!!
