From the look of it, the plastic sheet looks a lot like the Sintra PVC Foam board that I used to make the "armour bits" for my Darth Vader costume several years ago.
One source is
http://store.foamboardsource.com/ But I looked around at my local plastics supply shops and sign shops. It is primarily used in sign making.
The reason that it is great for costume making, however, is that it can be thermoformed at very low temperatures... I could put it in the oven (yes, in the kitchen) at 225, leave it there for a few minutes then take it out wearing my winter gloves and wrap it around my shin (I had jeans and boots on) and hold it there while it cooled. It formed up quite nicely and has held up through several hallowe'ens.
