To those on the forum that are too young to remember them, Ben Cooper was responsible for the suffocating, plastic costumes for kids that had the picture of the character on the front of the costume. You know...because Darth Vader walks around with a picture of himself on his chest. And then there were the masks...the cheap, unintentionally creepy masks that were made of that sharp, thin plastic that was always threatening to cut your eyelids off.
Even as a kid I thought these were the stupidest things I'd ever seen.
