The costume in this lot, minus the alien mask, is portrayed on the front of the box. The mask has a clear plastic eye area and is primarily blue. This was my Dad’s costume from the 50’s. My Mom is decluttering and found this fantastic costume set from the age of children’s space adventure TV shows. Thank you for checking out my auctions and for shopping small.
