It’s been over a year since I unveiled the web page to my obsession with collecting things related to the 1976 Saturday morning series “The Monster Squad” and I’m happy to report that I have some new additions, a couple of which I had no idea existed until I found them: Finally unearthed a pair […]
I honestly never set out in this life to collect Halloween costumes, I blame working on this site because now I’ve got a bunch of these things littering my house and I thought I’d share. It all began with the Ben Cooper Frankenstein above, which I bought two years ago yesterday at a toy show […]
Awww yeah, we wrap up our month of Halloween with our third dip into the “Collegeville barrel” with this grooving catalog from 1979.’79 saw some great new additions to Collegeville as they scored some major licenses most important at the time would be KISS, the rock band that wore Halloween costumes 24/7. For the space […]
What a tough choice kids had in 1979, smooth as glass spy James Bond or those “Whacky” Village People? In 1979 it was an honest dilemma, now those pictures look like different sections of an adult video store. “I’d get the biker son, he looks tough, that Roger Moore is a cissy!”Please tell me that […]
With it being October, I tend to get a little nuts with the Halloween costumes especially my favourite company Collegeville.1978 was a fun year for Collegeville, sure they didn’t have Star Wars but did Ben Cooper have the Hardy Boys? Not a chance. The 1978 Collegeville catalog is exploding with characters and creations that made […]
Followers of this site and blog will know that Collegeville is a favourite subject around here, that’s likely because I got a ton of these as a kid combined with the fact that they got some really cool licenses.1973 was a cool year for Collegeville, in addition to their line of generic monsters and familiar […]
Lots of new faces (well, in the form of Masks) could be found in the 1983 Collegeville Catalog, while the company was still selling various knock offs such as the Spider (a very healthy run since I wore that same suit in the mid seventies) there was also a staggering amount of licensed goods available. […]
Kicking it off today is my pal Lee wearing a Ben Cooper Hulk suit, nobody loves the Hulk more than Lee. Speaking of big fans, here is Lou in a Collegeville Jaws costume, Lou is still actively involved in Jaws Fandom, check out this youtube link. I’m Batman! Here’s Chris Franklin as the caped crusader, […]
Some cool items to highlight on this fine October day, this is a 1983 Collegeville store display for “Halloween Accessories” which is stuff similiar to the Imagineering stuff from yesterday. I dig the fangs and fake blood but the big ears are a little weird. This display of Collegeville rubber masks has special meaning for […]
When it came to Halloween costumes, the two biggest names in the 70’s were Ben Cooper and Collegeville. If one didn’t have a specific license, the other surely did. In the mid seventies, Ben Cooper had a lock on some prosperous licenses namely The Universal Monsters and Superheroes from DC and Marvel houses. This left […]
