Collegeville
Collegeville are a producer of Halloween and fancy dress costumes from America. Founded in 1927, the company was considered one of the "Big Three" costume makers in the lucrative market along with Ben Cooper and Halco, from the 1960s through to the 1980s. As well as the usual range of traditional monsters they also branched out into producing licenced costumes, including Marvel and DC comics characters, Warners cartoon characters, Popeye, Transformers and even GoBots. Their costumes were cheap and cheerful, consisting of a plastic mask (usually fairly accurate) and a vinyl smock (which usually just had a picture of whoever it was meant to represent rather than any attempt to replicate the body of the character). Their costumes were famously "Flame Retarded".

- The Scooter and Heat Seeker costumes only have confirmed sightings in catalogues and may not have been released, so you might want to think twice before insisting on a GoBot-themed wedding.
