MY MYSTERY MONSTER MASK
One of the many mystery items I've bought this last twelve months was this small plastic horror mask. It remain unidentified, if you have any ideas readers.
Its a sort of blue, squidgy, gooey monster face

ARTO'S MYSTERY BAT SUIT
Arto kindly sent me this snap of his late December find, a fabulous vintage vinyl Bat Suit.
Can anyone shed any light on the make of this old costume?
Do you recognise it?
Or the catalogue shown open in this old Catawiki sale picture?

Mask Me Another
I saw this costume on auction and thought, hmmm, is that mask a Lady Penelope? What do you think?
No idea about the blue costume.
I had thought it was Ben Cooper brand but looks like Collegeville is the make.

HOLY SPECTACLES!
I saw this recently on auction and I thought, Yes!
The memories of wearing some of these came bouncing back, such a classic design.
I wonder if these were licensed?
Did you have a bat mask?

TONY'S BEN COOPER' BATMAN MASK
Hope you're keeping well and making a good recovery from your hospital stay. I really enjoyed your Don Post masks posting. Those vintage movie monster masks are brilliant. So detailed and cool. I've attached a couple of pics of my 1974 Ben Cooper Batman mask. It's a simple design, but I love it.
So much so, I put it in a car boot picture frame for safe keeping and display. I took it out for Halloween and put it on a Batman bust, whose expression suggested he may not have shared the comic irony of his cunning Halloween Bat-disguise :D
Take care Woodsy and speedy recovery mate.
All the best, Tony K

McHales Navy, Don Post, Ben Cooper and Monster Masks
Not one I know, what really grabbed me though where the old Don Post Monster Masks I oggled over as a kid at the back of Creepy and Eerie comics. All the classic Universals are here and wait for the last one a little later in the clip!
