Since the shell part is so colorful , maybe after the Velcro and metal have been removed, the shell could be situated in a garden with a plant growing up through as a kind of funky outdoor vase.

This is an excellent suggestion. You may have a group like the SCA (www.sca.org) around that would love armor parts.

Freecycle is a great idea, too. You never know who’s looking for exactly what you have…

Could they be donated to a daycare or somewhere where they can be used for dress up or costume parts.

*thinks* this is a tough one.
You could definitely reuse any velcro or straps or metal bits on other projects , and then maybe I could pull out the standby-suggestion-for-everything : chop it into bits and use it in the bottom of plant pots?

Oh! Oh oh!
If you know anyone who is really into steampunk this would be PERFECT to repurpose for corseted costume or as some sort of “armor” etc.

I notice no-one has replied to this , perhaps because it is not something that most of us have come across.

The velcro could easily be re-used.

But without seeing it in reality I have drawn a blank.
