    Plaid Stallions 1973 Collegeville Halloween Costumes Catalog


    Followers of this site and blog will know that Collegeville is a favourite subject around here, that's likely because I got a ton of these as a kid combined with the fact that they got some really cool licenses.

    1973 was a cool year for Collegeville, in addition to their line of generic monsters and familiar looking superhero designs, we got stuff like The Phantom, H.R. Pufnstuf, Pebbles and Bam Bam, Ultraman, Hot Wheels, Big Jim and my personal favourite of the lot, the SHADO pilot from Gerry Anderson's U.F.O.




    Oh my goodness, I need to own this badly. Click on any image to check out all the fun of the 1973 Collegeville Costumes Catalog.

    Wow...

    I know my mom got me the kitten mask when I was 5 and in kindergarten. I don't know why I never had a costume, (Mom wasn't that big on Halloween), all I know is that she came home w/ that mask and a Slinky.

    I find it interesting that Collegeville actually had African American costumes. If my dad had known, he would have made me wear them. (he was very Afro-centric).

    I love Kid Power! It came on Saturday mornings when I was 6. If anyone is familiar w/ Wee Pals comic strip by Morrie Turner, that's what it was based on. That costume is the character Oliver. (I did find a couple of eps on video.)

    I would've gone nuts over some of those costumes as a kid

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked the grown-up Pebbles.

    There's some crazy stuff in that catalog. Unlicensed rip-offs, off-model characters...it's a perfect 70s pop culture time capsule!

    I think some of those masks might actually be frightening to a kid. The Devil and the Skeleton in the 100 series are bit erie.
