Forget the life-size Baby Beetlejuice, M3GAN dolls, or even Squid Game’s Young Hee doll. The real nightmare fuel is here: the DC Comics x Ben Cooper Costume Kids Collection – Series 5. These 6-inch (15 cm) posable figures of kids in retro superhero costumes are adorable in theory but give off a vibe that says Michael Myers’ junior league.
This series features pint-sized Batgirl, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Joker, all rocking soft goods costumes that mimic Ben Cooper’s iconic vinyl designs from the ‘50s to the ‘80s. Each comes with a trick-or-treat pillowcase sporting character-specific art, which is both charming and slightly unsettling. The retro-style window box packaging completes the throwback aesthetic, but fair warning: these figures might feel like they’re watching you.
The full bundle is up for pre-order now at US$99.95, with shipping expected in January/February 2025. Whether you find them nostalgic or delightfully creepy, these are collectibles worth a spot in your Halloween—or horror—display.
