As much as I’d like to say I own this killer Collegeville Ultraman suit, I don’t. Fortunately for me, Corey volunteered some shots of his collection to the blog including the two variations of this classic suit, more after the jump. Above is the first version suit and smock, I don’t know why they chose […]
It couldn’t get more obscure or joyous for me. Growing up, I LOVED Filmation’s post apocalyptic series “Ark 2“ with a passion. So i nearly did a spit take when I discovered this Halloween costume on the ebay. I would have fought tooth and nail for it but I was lucky enough to snag it […]
Lovin’ this selection of Party masks I found in a UK toy catalog, I’m assuming those are the Ben Cooper Universal Monsters masks being sold as a set without smocks, the things you learn!

Based on the movie of the same name (which is also a great episode of Mystery Science Theatre […]

For the space […]
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 […]
