Vintage Ben Cooper Princess Fairy Queen Black Light Reactive Plastic Halloween Mask

This original Ben Cooper plastic Halloween mask is in VERY GOOD condition but has a minor crack below right eye and a couple on the chin edge. The elastic band is absent. This is black-light reactive so it will glow in the presence of a black-light.

These costumes were known for their vibrant, colorful designs and affordability, making them a staple for generations of trick-or-treaters.

The costumes typically included a thin plastic mask with an elastic band and a vinyl smock or jumpsuit that featured the character's image or logo.
