NECA Celebrates a Retro Halloween With Full Line of Toys Based on Vintage Ben Cooper Costumes
Remember those classic Ben Cooper Halloween costumes? The plastic masks? The vinyl smocks? The iconic American symbol of Halloween is being celebrated by NECA this year!
Previewed at Toy Fair earlier this year was a line of Ben Cooper-inspired action figures from NECA, and this week the company has unveiled the full line with official photos.
Five classic Ben Cooper Halloween costumes have been immortalized in Series 1.
NECA previews, “Introducing the Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection, a figure series based on the popular kids’ costumes from one of the largest Halloween costume manufacturers from the 1950s through the ‘80s. Standing approximately 6 inches tall, these fully poseable figures wonderfully capture the vintage horror spirit and are ready to make some spooky mischief on your collector’s shelf. Series 1 includes Creature, Devil, Frankenstein, Mummy, and Skeleton—classic Ben Cooper costumes worn by an inclusive group of kids.
“Wearing a mask styled after an original Ben Cooper design and soft goods clothing replicating the vinyl look of the classic costume, each playful figure comes complete with a trick-or-treat bag or pumpkin bucket accessory. Every figure is sold separately and packaged in a numbered, retro-style window box that pays homage to the original costume packaging.”
These figures are shipping in May 2024 EXCLUSIVELY at specialty retailers.
Funko is getting into the Halloween spirit already. Spirit Halloween and Funko are teaming up for an exclusive, limited-edition Funko POP! Movie Moment from Bride of Chucky that’ll leave you saying “I do.”
The Chucky & Tiffany Funko is available exclusively at SpiritHalloween.com now and at Spirit Halloween stores opening nationwide starting in August.
The new Movie Moment figure is “Standing at 3.5” tall, the Chucky & Tiffany Funko proves that love hurts – but there’s no doubt these two were meant to be. Featuring a blood-stained checkered floor base and fireplace background, this duo is a chilling tribute to horror’s most iconic declaration of love.”
In Bride of Chucky (1998), “Chucky, the doll possessed by a serial killer, discovers the perfect mate to kill and revive into the body of another doll. Tiffany is born.” Directed by Ronny Yu, the raucous horror comedy doubled down on the dolls, pairing Brad Dourif‘s iconic killer doll with Jennifer Tilly, who would become a horror icon in her own right as Chucky’s bride Tiffany.
Of course, Chucky and Tiffany’s dysfunctional romance is still going, er, strong today with “Chucky.” The series just wrapped its third season, which saw the on-and-off-and-on again lovebirds reunite. Here’s to hoping a season renewal is on the way soon. In the meantime, at least this new Funko POP! exclusive immortalizes the pint-sized killers in happier times.
