8. Ben Cooper and Collegeville Character Mask Boxes
While technically costumes, the iconic window-box packaging of Ben Cooper and Collegeville costumes made them a prominent decorative feature in 80s bedrooms and playrooms. These costumes consisted of a thin, highly flammable plastic smock featuring a graphic of the character, paired with a brittle, vacuum-formed plastic mask held on by a thin elastic band. The boxes featured vibrant, spooky graphics and a cellophane window that showcased the mask inside. Today, collectors display these unopened boxes on shelves as stunning pieces of pop-culture wall art.
