KISS member Paul Stanley says that Peter Criss and Ace Frehley sold the rights to their iconic Spaceman and Catman makeup for "not a whole lot."
"The guys basically sold it off for, you know, not a whole lot, because they didn't think it was worth anything," Stanley said speaking to Australia's 4KQ.
"I've always thought our image and what we represent is priceless. It didn't matter to some people — it truly matters to me."
Stanley also addressed the question on Twitter after a fan asked about Ace's Spaceman makeup.
"Does Ace own the rights to his makeup? Or is he babbling again? FANTASY. We own it. He sold it," Stanley tweeted.
Last year, Frehley said that he was looking to acquire the rights to the Spaceman makeup in the near future.
