Hi all!
Great site and I'm happy to be here!
I just found a beautiful 1977 Star Wars Chewbacca playsuit (without the mask- of course) at a toy show. It was under some books on a $1.00 table so I grabbed it. It's perfect- no fading, no tears- just great!
I remember the plastic Ben Cooper custumes I wore way back then (and some pretty cool homemade costumes that my brother and I put together), but I don't remember the playsuits at all. Maybe they were too expensive for a "Star Wars struck" farm boy and his family to buy. I just found out on another post that they they were indeed made by Ben Cooper right after the movie came out and they had the same plastic masks as the Halloween costumes but did not sell well and were discontinued after a very short run. Now they seem to be rather rare.
Any one have an idea of value? Any help would be most kind.
I'm gonna frame this one and I'd like to tell my wife that someone else thinks that this is as special as I think it is.
Happy day to all!
Just for info the playsuit is all fabric not plastic.
