Girls Costumes . Boys Costumes . Womens Costumes . Mens Costumes

 

Girls Costumes
  1. Hannah Montana Costume
    Inside every young girl is a rock star, so it’s no wonder why Hannah Montana is still the #1 costume choice this Halloween. When Miley transforms into Hannah, she puts on her flashy clothes and jewelry, long blonde wig, and rocks out! You can buy a complete costume or just add a Hannah Montana wig to your favorite rock star outfit.
  2. Sharpay Costume
    The movies and music are still huge this year, so once again High School Musical is one of the most popular costume themes for kids. Sassy Sharpay is the favorite for 2008, and there are 2 new costumes for her this year!
  3. Padme Costume
    The animated Star Wars movie and upcoming TV series have made 2008 an amazing year for new Star Wars costumes. One of the most popular for girls is the white jumpsuit Padme Amidala costume. Now your little Senator-Queen can save the galaxy alongside her favorite Jedis this Halloween.
  4. Gabriella Costume
    It’s another High School Musical year! Your little songbird will love the “Star Dazzler” costume and the matching wig and microphone that were introduced in 2008. Sing your heart out, honey!
  5. Elizabeth Swann Costume
    In Pirates of the Caribbean 3 we saw a drastically different Ms. Swann. Every bit as adventurous and brave as the men, Elizabeth’s Deluxe pirate costume is a customer favorite for the 2nd year in a row.
  6. Prestige Disney Princess Costumes
    How is it that Disney Princess costumes always get so much mileage? There never seems to be a shortage of occasions to dress up as Aurora, Cinderella, Belle or Snow White, even when Halloween is months away. These Prestige costumes are of higher quality and will last as long as your little princess still fits into them!

 

Boys Costumes
  1. Indiana Jones Costume
    A new generation was introduced to the intrepid explorer, Dr. Jones, this year with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Young adventurers everywhere will be decked out in Indie’s signature hat and jacket this Halloween to brave their suburban jungles and retrieve a sack full of candy. There are 5 new costumes this year, including a muscle chest version.
  2. Clone Trooper Costume – Animated Series
    The animated Star Wars movie and upcoming TV series have made 2008 an amazing year for new Star Wars costumes. There are 6 new Clone Trooper costumes available this year! You can choose from Commander Cody, Leader Rex, or create your very own custom clone character. The Deluxe series are really amazing; check out the customer reviews!
  3. Transformer Costumes
    As if a 3D Optimus Prime costume weren’t cool enough, now there is a new Transformer modeled after the Volkswagen Beetle. Be sure to purchase a Deluxe costume, which features awesome 3D molding. The slightly cheaper versions are feature silkscreened details only; they’re not more than meets the eye ;)
  4. Power Ranger Costumes – Jungle Fury
    The Power Rangers are all amazing super heroes, but they have very different personalities. Which Ranger will your little ninja be? If you can’t decide, try the reversible costume! There are 8 new costumes available this year, including the Red, Blue, Yellow and Special Rangers.
  5. Iron Man Costume
    It’s an interesting year for kids costumes, that’s for sure. Here’s an indestructible costume idea for any kid who wants to save the world… by getting rid of the nuclear weaponry! There are 3 new costumes available this year, including a light up muscle chest version.

 

Womens Costumes
  1. Sexy Princess Leia Costume
    The animated Star Wars movie and upcoming TV series have made 2008 an amazing year for new Star Wars costumes. After literally decades of begging from a galaxy full of nerds, Lucas has finally started making more licensed costumes. This “sexy Leia” costume is destined to be a favorite for years to come. Note: The new Slave Leia costume also looks amazing in pictures, but be warned that customer reviews aren’t so hot. This sexy Leia costume, however, totally is.
  2. 80’s Cartoon Costumes
    Finally, someone heard the prayers of 80s children everywhere! They’re not licensed (which actually means a better price for us, yah!) but there is finally a Jem costume and a She-Ra costume! Did you sing and dance along with Jerrica and her truly outrageous earrings? Did you feel like the most powerful young woman in the universe when you watched Princess Adora and her Sword of Protection? Finally, there’s a nostalgic set of 80s costumes for us!
  3. Lady Bug & Bee reversible Costume
    Reversible is the hottest new trend for 2008 costumes, and with great reason. Now you can change your costume every time you powder your nose and you don’t even have to pack any extra supplies. The ladybug and bumblebee have been popular women’s costume ideas for years and now you can have the best of both worlds with this sexy, stretchy knit dress. Check out the great customer reviews!
  4. 80’s Madonna Costumes
    Madonna has had more reinventions than… hmm, has anybody had more “looks” and alter egos than The Material Girl? Somehow we always like to remember her in her glorious 80s days when everything she did was shocking and 100% unique. This year there are 2 new Madonna costumes; an 80s black lace dress and the infamous golden pointy bra costume!
  5. Victorian Costumes
    With The Duchess movie being released – perfectly timed – in late September, Victorian costumes will be all the rage in 2008. Marie Antoinette revived this gorgeous, decadent style in 2006 & 2007, and now Keira Knightley is adding the fashions of the Duchess of Devonshire to the costume mix. Look for classically sumptuous dresses as well as hybrid styles like the “Victorian Burlesque” costume seen at right. It’s going to be a wild Halloween!

 

Mens Costumes
  1. Batman Dark Knight Costume
    Hands down, Batman costumes will be the most popular men’s costume choice for 2008. The Dark Knight movie was highly anticipated, and packed with inspiring action. It called to every man who wanted to be a hero: protect his city and those he loved. This uber sleek black costume comes in 3 new styles this year (plus size is available for 2 of them), including a stunning Collectors version that is guaranteed to win any costume contest.
  2. The Joker Costume
    Another amazing costume choice this year is Batman’s nemesis: the unsettling and emotionally charged Joker as immortalized by Heath Ledger. All of the 4 new styles available (2 available in plus size) come with a mask but applying your own Joker makeup is going to make all the difference. For a real costume contest winner, you can’t do any better than the Collectors edition Joker costume.
  3. Halo Master Chief Costume
    Last year the Halo 3 costumes were on the top of every guy’s costume want list. Manufacturers were listening because, for the first time ever, there are finally Halo Master Chief costumes available! This year brings us 3 costume styles ranging from economy to an insanely awesome Collectors edition Halo costume that will win every costume contest.
  4. Indiana Jones Costume
    Admit it. When you saw Harrison Ford reprising his role as the witty and intrepid adventurer Dr. Jones, you got ideas about your Halloween costume (or your husbands costume in the case of the ladies). The heart of an explorer knows no age and the 3 new costumes available this year are great reminders. Now don the hat, crack that whip, and find that treasure!
  5. Iron Man Costume
    In 2008, it’s no wonder that brainy heroes who rid the world from nuclear weapons make blockbuster films and show up on top costume lists. What more could we want in a super hero? Iron Man is a contemporary comic book hero with 2 new costume styles available this year. Put on this super suit and you’ll be unstoppable this Halloween.
  6. Han Solo Costume
    Finally, a Han Solo costume! Star Wars nerds across the galaxy have been making their own Han Solo costumes for years, nicking their fingers while sewing all the Corellian Bloodstripes on the pants. This year you can put all your efforts into perfecting the perfect Han Solo smirk and giving ladies that scruffy nerf herder vibe they love so much. Just be sure to purchase the Deluxe costume, which has all the actual utility pockets on the vest. No space pirate would be seen in a silkscreened top… not even a scruffy one.
  7. Fred Flintstone Costume
    There’s just something fun about this costume that makes it a favorite. Check out all the great reviews for the Fred costume and you’ll see that it’s a winner. It’s comfy and just silly enough that guys wear it all night long and get a great reaction from kids and ladies alike. A new plus size version is available this year, too!
