Ben Cooper produced more Halloween costumes based on comic and cartoon characters than did any other company. Here are a couple of pictures of the Ben Cooper Superman costume:





The face sculpt of the mask is rather good, and the costume isn't too bad either.

Here are a couple of pictures of Collegeville's sensational vintage costume of the Metaluna Mutant from Universal's 1955 release of This Island Earth:

Here's a variant from later in the 1980's:

That's the Rubie's from 1991. There was a bagged version that had the same mask, but a different costume.
