These costumes are really sentimental for me. My dad took me downtown when I was a little kid on October 30 and I picked out a Boba Fett costume. We got it home and out of the box and I looked at the blurry picture of Boba Fett on the chest, I liked it, but my dad shook his head and said it was a disappointment. My dad was a brooks brothers tailor (he once made a suit for Harrison Ford), so that night, my dad sat my 12” boba Fett next to his sewing machine as a reference model, and while I slept he made me a PERFECT kid-sized costume. Grey jumpsuit, yellow shoulders, green chest, every detail was there. When I got up to go to school the next day, I put on the costume and the Ben cooper mask and went to school. That’s my best Halloween memory, hats off to you, dad.
id always cut my tongue sticking through the slot. I knew it was gonna end bad, but I did it anyway
I had the Spider-Man costume in 1976
I had the Ben Cooper Darth Vader costume. Well, we went trick or treating on the rich side of town when suddenly I seen a kid with a full head Darth Vader helmet. He had a black outfit with a long flowing cape. He had a realistic chest plate & lightsaber covered in aluminum foil. Homemade but super cool like cosplay today. I was emotionally blown out of the water & could never shake that awful feeling away. Until I met Darth Vader at Gottschalks & received an autographed black & white pic of him!
Kids today don't know how lucky Halloween costumes are so detailed and made of better quality than the junk vinyl us kids suffered through in the 80's and 90's.
I had Luke Skywalker's Ben Cooper costume. Of course my little brother HAD to have the sam one. Stupid kid brothers. Lol
I had a homemade costume of superman that my mom made me that I traded to my cousin fer his ben cooper batman costume......she dang near tanned my hide.....lol
The stare on the boba fett costume and googly eyes on vader is hilarious.
When I was young I use to live in my Star Wars costumes, Now sitting around in a Boba Fett Helmet and t-shirt and some cute jammies is just as satisfying.
mom would never let me wear that "cheap junk" My costumes were usually DIY because she could sew/
So cool thanks junkman for this history lesson
I had Casper the friendly ghost one year and the following year I had Frankenstein 1971-1972 .I remember the mask smelled funny.
I definitely remember having one of these... my parents forced me to be a hand me down Mickey Mouse coustume year after year... not because they were poor, because they weren't... my parents were dicks. Anyway... interesting video.. well done.
Loved the history lesson.
I don't know if I ever had an actual Ben Cooper costume, because I'm from the UK and I'm not sure if they were ever sold in my country. At least during my childlike, which was around the late 80s early to mid 90s.
Been collecting Ben Cooper for many years, was born in 1966. I've amassed quite a collection and enjoy adding rare ones when ever I get the chance.
There is a documentary on ben cooper , college ville etc. Halloween in a Box I watched it a month ago. I alway looked through the boxes to find costumes where the smock had the characters body rather than a picture of the character
I remember getting a Charlie Brown costume one year, I also remember making my own a bunch of times, and asking my grandmother to sew me a cowboy vest when I was only a few years old.
I had that Superman costume in the 70s. I loved it.
I had the Luke Skywalker A New Hope one...I remember getting it because it was the only one that had a detailed costume and not a picture of who you were supposed to be on the front. I always thought, even as a young kid that the pictures on the costumes were usually super lame.
