NECA have announced a new series of figures that pay homage to the Ben Cooper Halloween costumes in the US between the 1950's and the 1980's. Each articulated figure will stand approx. 6 inches tall and will be wearing a Ben Cooper Halloween costume and mask.
The first wave will feature Creature, Devil, Frankenstein, Mummy, and Skeleton. Each figure will come with a Halloween Bag or Bucket Accessory. They are due for release in May 2024 at specialty retailers - we will have to wait to see if there is enough interest in these for stockists here in the UK to bring them over?
It’s always Halloween at NECA! 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.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
