NECA Ben Cooper Phantom

I'd resisted buying more of these fantastic NECA Ben Cooper kids until I stumbled onto the glow-in-the-dark Phantom figure at a local Target earlier this month. I love the retro packaging on these figures and the insert that converts to a makeshift display diorama. The printing on this glow-in-the-dark figure has a texture to it as well- an almost flocked, sand papery feel.

...the face mask and costume vest glow in the dark quite effectively....

I also have a NECA Ben Cooper Batman figure that I am mad for!

And I'd be remiss not to include my NECA Ultimate Phantom of the Opera ...!

Happy Halloween! Make it FUN!

Just Play Peanuts Halloween PVC Figures

While not a collector of related memorabilia/product, Peanuts was just a staple of my '70s childhood, and Halloween would bring the annual viewing of It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, played in constant syndication since 1966. I couldn't resist this Peanuts Halloween PVC figure set from Five Below, Charlie Brown measuring 3" in height and Snoopy at 2". 

Take note of the orange piece of candy stuck to Charlie Brown's left foot, and back full of treats- no rocks this year! Snoopy looks adorable in his skeleton costume with jack-o-lantern pail! Neither are wearing their costumes from The Great Pumpkin, but they seem to be having a better year.

On a related note, I found these Peanuts Halloween stickers at Target, which I gifted a friend, along with her own set of the PVC figures in this post. Halloween is my personal favorite holiday season, for all the spooky fun, masquerade, parties, and candy! I hope you have a great one this year!

More Later- Happy Halloween!
