Chattermouth Robot

Ben Cooper's "Chattermouth" series of Halloween costumes was a fun concept (and definitely better than the Hoot 'n Toots!), though seemed somewhat short-lived. Take for example this neat Robot from 1977, highlighted by the animated mask with "the mouth that moves when you talk." Interesting mask design, you'd tape the bottom half to your own chin so that when you talked the hinged mask would make you look more alive. Even better is the frock smock image, though the "comin' atcha" perspective of the left arm seems like a weird choice. Great box design here, with the Rocky Horror style lips creating the window on the lid, plus the typical additional character illustrations on the lid sides: witch, skull, devil, and clown. I had another Chattermouth years ago, a Super Spy character that looked like Dick Tracy, not sure where that costume is now though...
