nasa spook in space or space spook halloween costume

[Hepcat]

Finally got one of my Halloween costume grails last night. THE ASTRO SPOOK.  i paid a whopping $120 for it.

Great stuff! Where did you find it?

it is boxed and has a HOOT & TOOT in the mouth. i have seen many of these masks but never one with a hoot & toot mouth....

Huh? Like this one?



What exactly is a hoot n' toot mouth and what does it do? Does your Astro Spook box also feature the words Hoot n' Toot on it as does the Huckleberry Finn box above? Was this hoot n' toot feature a Ben Cooper exclusive?

I soooo remember the Astro Spook. Congrats on the awesome find.

Hoot n toot?! That makes this mask even cooler!! Didnt think it could be possible...

[Radioactive Rod Whitenack]

Wow, seeing the costume smock art kind of blows me away! At one point, we were wondering if the Astro Spook was ever really released or if the masks we were seeing were just prototypes. This proves without a shadow of a doubt that it was a real Halloween costume.

They exist! Let the gold rush begin!

Nice set Freddie.
