There's no better time than this month to talk about costumes. And for today, I've got a special find related to the Hanna-Barbera mascot costumes. Below is the front and back of a Cartoon Network mascot guide book from 1995. This item was given to events and locations where the costumed Hanna-Barbera characters would appear, the most notable being Universal Studios.
Here are a few shots of the interior pages. We get a shot of the character, alongside a few personality traits and details that the performer should keep in mind. There's a ton of characters covered, ranging from Hanna-Barbera's entire history. Honestly, I didn't even know there were SWAT Kats mascot costumes!
In addition to the profiles, the book also has sections dedicated to costume maintenance, events, and assembling the costume. It's definitely a unique item for any Hanna-Barbera collector, and a real treat if you're interested in finding out more about these costumes.
