Thanks MJ. The good thing is, most of these items are small, so they don't take up a lot of room. Nowhere near the the amount of room this bust/statue hobby we all have takes up!
More to come...

This piece is extremely important to me because it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I found this on ebay several years ago and had to have it!
For those not familiar with Ben Cooper, he was a Brooklyn based business famous for those Halloween costumes we all wore as kids. Y'know the kind with the plastic mask & cloth or plastic outfit (depending on how old you are!).
This fig is about 6 inches tall. I remember there being a Superman and Batman too.

Holy ****!. Good times, good times. I had him too. I also had the Batman and Superman. I got em' at Coney Island in NYC when I was a kid. Damn I would love to find one of these on ebay too. How much did you pay?

Well guys, glad I did good this time!
That's what makes this hobby so special to me. These comics and collectibles take me back to a simpler time...no job, no bills, no worries!
I forgot how I came across this, but if you search Ben Cooper, a bunch of stuff comes up. I used to just go through pages and pages of listings under Spider-Man. You'd be surprised the things you find!
I believe I paid around $25.00-$30.00 for it. Worth EVERY PENNY! The thing is in MINT. Plus it has the tag! For me, it was a real find!

Those things were great! Remember every last detail...even down to the copyright impression on the @ss. If I remember correctly, my bro had a Superman too. Got them at a local shop although they were all over Coney back in the day. Man, Coney Island rocked back then...before I grew up & realized it was a dump.

I noticed your avatar change too, MJ. Why Nightmare? Are you lobbying to get him busted?
