Vintage Halloween C-3P0 Mask and Costume in Original Box Golden Robot Star Wars Empire Strikes Back shops Ben Cooper
In a galaxy far, far away in the simpler days of the 1970's, Ben Cooper Inc. produced our C-3PO robot costume, after they had acquired the license to exclusively produce costumes from the Star Wars franchise. C-3PO is one of the more beloved characters who was original to the first 3 Star Wars movies that hit in the 1970's, making our mask and costume desirable to those who love Star Wars and to those who love vintage Halloween. Ben Cooper made inexpensive masks and costumes that anyone could afford, using cheap materials that weren't made to last from year to year, and by today's standards they are completely ridiculous looking. But to those of us who love Halloween memorabilia, Ben Cooper Halloween masks/costumes are vintage gold. Our metallic look mask features the blank look of the beloved Star Wars robot, although we all know that emotion runs deep in C-3PO. His humanoid face reveals nothing but empty eye sockets under a bulging forehead, a sharp nose and a slit for a mouth. The graphics on the gold colored vinyl costume look vaguely like the Star Wars character and would look fabulous displayed on the wall with the C-3PO mask for a splash of color and fun. Perfect for anyone who loves vintage Halloween, or collects Star Wars, our Ben Cooper golden robot costume and mask will bring back memories of Halloween excitement and remind your guests and family what it was like back in the good old days.
Our shops costume and mask come in its original box, that has the movie title THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in large white letters against the black background. In one corner under GOLDEN ROBOT C-3PO the box is dated 1977, although the movie came out in 1980, the franchise started in 1977. The box measures 11" long x 8 1/2" wide. The box has some tears and crumpled edges, and has the previous owner's name written in pen in a couple places and the cellophane is gone but still has integrity and should be good to store the mask and costume for a long time to come. Our mask is in good condition, with no rips and little to no loss of color and measures 10" long x 8" wide. The string is still intact and it comes in its protective plastic bag like we found it and it looks like it would fit an adult although the costume is size small. The costume is in good condition, the colors are sharp and it is intact and almost looks like it hasn't been worn. Except that it has been taped with duct tape on the inside along a seam where the costume has separated. It was hard to get a clear photo because it's taped on the inside, as seen in photo 9. Photo 10 shows the area on the outside seam, where it's taped. Buyer could possibly remove tape and just glue the seam or leave it as is. Other than this issue, costume is perfect, and our price reflects this and will still display beautifully. Our C-3PO costume is stamped Lucas Film LTD 1980 and at 40 years old, has survived in pretty good condition. Unique and hard to find, our costume and mask will be a fabulous addition to any collection and will bring back that haunted vintage vibe of Halloweens past.
