80s robots!

Collection No.9
17 vintage masks from the house of César and Festa.

This collection from the world of Japanese animation includes a very rare mask of Spectreman, Windspector, Power Rangers, Bioman, Robocop, the villain from Flash Gordon, Cyril from Bomber X, the robot soldier from the film "The Black Hole," another villain from Spectreman, as well as several robots from the 1980s. In very good overall condition, it brings together iconic masks from major children's franchises of the 1980s. The collection is distinguished by its exceptional state of preservation, rare thematic coherence, and the presence of pieces that are now very difficult to find. A cohesive and remarkable lot, perfect for discerning collectors or institutions dedicated to popular culture.

There are objects that don't just exist: they carry memories within them.
These César masks, made in Saumur between the 1960s and 2000, are among them. They evoke Wednesday afternoons, school parties, the colorful shop windows of bazaars, impromptu costumes, and the bursts of children's laughter that now exist only in memory.

Each mask is a fragment of an era, a piece of light from a time when airbrushes were still used, when colors vibrated under the hand of an artisan, when plastic wasn't just an ordinary material but a promise of magic.

Some still have their original labels, others their slightly worn elastic—like a tender scar, proof that they have lived, that they have been loved.

Hanging them in your home is like opening a small window onto childhood, onto French popular culture, onto the heroes and monsters that populated our imaginations. It's creating a wall gallery unlike any other, a gallery that tells a story: yours, theirs, the story of a lost but never forgotten craft.

Light as memories, graphic like fairground posters, they hang on the wall in an instant. And because they are precious, fragile, irreplaceable, each one travels in reinforced packaging, designed to protect what it carries: a little piece of our past.
