Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy. But to everyone's surprise, fate set him on the road to becoming the king when he was only eleven! That meant it was time to really freshen up his style and get his noble brow ready for the crown. Design & Details If you've got a little prince of your own who is destined for glory, this Louis XVI costume for kids is just the thing to get them ready. This is a Made By Us ensemble put together by our own court of in-house designers. The costume begins with a light jacket with golden trim and capris pants with an elastic waist. The gold vest has rich-looking faux buttons and the jabot is made of puffy chiffon that fastens with hook and loops around the neck. That's really all you'll need for your kiddo to feel kingly, but you can add a pomp wig or royal accessories to make any monarch magnificent!
Clothes Make the ManNo! Crowns make the man. This crown, in fact, makes you into a Viking King. Or Jarl. Or Chief. Or whatever the rest of your costume says about you. Hmm… ok, we admit that clothes influence the initial impression of the man somewhat, but nonetheless, we maintain that crowns are also very powerful in terms of first impressions. So there.Besides, who ever heard of someone taking control of vast armies without a crown? Well, we suppose the President of the United States doesn’t wear one… or any generals… Ok, we admit that that was another bad example, but nonetheless! We adamantly oppose the idea of allowing costumes to remain incomplete. It’s just not right.Hordes of HoardsOne of the best features of a crown is that it implies that you’re either fabulously wealthy or immensely powerful. Whichever it may be in reality, you will certainly be the target of many curious courtiers wondering whether you have hordes of terrifying pillagers, or hoards of tantalizing coin.I’m Viking that CrownHere’s another thing people will say! Get it?! Viking?? Liking?? Well, in our office poll at Halloweencostumes.com, 3 out of 100 people thought that this was a funny pun (yes, it was us).

Ruling the NileEgypt was home to many great rulers in the ancient world. Snefru built the first pyramid. Senusret I ushered in an era of peace and prosperity and helped irrigate Faiyum to provide more farmable land in his kingdom. Yet, none of those pharaohs seem to have made quite the mark in the history books quite like a certain queen that become Egypt’s most well-known figure, Cleopatra. Why is that?Well, we happen to think it’s because Cleopatra is a woman of high ambition! Not only did she date the most powerful and most desirable men of her time period, but she also seized control over the Egyptian throne, because her brother mysteriously died when he held power. She also had quite the knack for theatrics. She snuck into Rome by smuggling herself inside of a rug, which was being delivered to Julius Caesar himself. Now that’s a baller move right there! Now, you can easily obtain the look of the renowned leader with this extravagant All Powerful Cleopatra costume.Product DetailsThis exclusive costume comes with many pieces to come together for a regal look, fit for the omnipotent ruler of Egypt. The dress, which is designed by our expert costume designers, is shimmering gold with an overlay, while the belt features gold and black stripes and a drape with hieroglyphics. The costume even comes with a ravishing headpiece. Once you have it all on, you can cruise down the Nile on a barge designed for the ultimate party, or you can wage war on Ptolemy! It’s totally up to you.
Perks of the Paleolithic Period This century has great things like squeezable apple juice pouches and kids' TV shows, but the Stone Age was pretty great too. Sure, there were sabertooth tigers roaming around, but there were also mastodons to ride (if you were very careful) and endless places to explore. No one made you eat Brussels sprouts or brush your teeth, since toothbrushes weren't even invented yet. Neither was handwashing. And it was encouraged to draw on the walls! It was a good time to be a toddler.Product DetailsEnjoy the feeling of being one of the first human beings on the planet when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl Toddler Costume! The step-in romper is made of minky fabric that's printed with a leopard spot pattern. It's one-shouldered neckline is made of brown velour, and its jagged edging matches the skirt's jagged hemline. A twisted lip cord can be tied around the romper's waist as desired. The faux suede leg warmers and arm gauntlets are easy to slip on. A fiber-filled felt bone is attached to a metal hair clip so that it can be pinned to a hairdo.Hunt and GatherDo you have what it takes to survive in the Paleolithic Period? Let's do a simple test. Are you so dedicated to tracking down the best food for their clan that you will hunt for hours in the evening twilight despite meeting all kinds of strange creatures? Can you find the most delicious chocolate bars and the most mouthwatering fruit chews? Ok, the cave people wouldn't be eating these things, but the concept is the same. Congratulations, you are a feisty cave girl!

Ancient HeroesWhen we think of heroes, a number of names come rushing to the mind, but only a few of them have been spoken of in as many incarnations as the mighty half-god of Greek mythology, Hercules! Whether he’s an animated youngster eager to prove himself to his fuzzy mentor or a long-haired and suave friend-to-all on a legendary adventure, the guy has it all! Strength, a winning smile, notorious combat proficiencies, and… did we mention half-god? Hard to compete with that one!Sure, several of the ancient tales of Hercules don’t have the best of beginnings… or endings, honestly, but you have to give credit to a guy who can keep his chin up despite having a rather grumpy step-mother and uncle full of underworld angst. Between tackling ferocious monsters birthed from Echidna and winning the heart of a few Grecian lasses, Hercules has countless tales to be told.Product DetailsThis year, the stories can continue when you don your kiddo in this Child Hercules Costume. A comfortable white pullover tunic starts the look and you can armor your child up, next, with the foam body armor and attached cape. You won’t have to spend all day gearing your kid up, either, thanks to an easy fabric tie in the back of the armor. (Now, why didn’t the ancient Greeks think of that!?) Warrior-like armbands and leg guards close with Hook and Loop fastener and ensure that your child will be protected from all manner of monsters, but it might be a good idea to pick up a nice sword and lion-emblazoned shield just to make the beasties think twice about trying your demigod! The only question that remains is to figure out which of the kiddo’s parents is the god!
Versailles VirtuesLife as a king in the late 1700s was a social one. In fact, kings were almost never left alone. From the moment Louis XVI woke up in the morning, he was surrounded by servants, advisors, and top guys from his various councils. And yes, luxurious royal activities abounded. He had to get his wig powdered and shaped. He went hunting with the boys. He entertained dignitaries in the hall of mirrors (we'll give you one guess what the walls of that hall are decorated with). Our point? The royal guy was super busy! With all the little details he needed to cover to keep his royal household happy, it's no wonder he lost track of what his subjects wanted!Details & DesignThis luxurious costume is Made by Us, meaning the king's top looks have been researched by our in-house designers. The high-waisted short pants, the long jacket, and the waistcoat all have a Rococo-inspired trim, making it look right at home in the over-the-top trappings of Versailles. You'll love the little details from the buttons to the lightweight cravat. Just be sure you avoid any swarms of angry French peasants. Heads UpLouis's reign might not have been a popular one, he's the only king that literally lost his head in the end. But we like to think that his ungraceful exit from the throne room was a symptom of the times rather than a personal hit at this fashionable king. If it hadn't been for the expensive wars, the uncomfortable wigs everyone was wearing, and the fact that the peasants wanted freedom and access to food, Louis probably would have been fine! How can you stay mad at a man wearing gold filigree trimmed short pants? Whether you're heading out with Marie Antoinette on your arm or you're making your royal debut solo, this costume will allow you to start Louis's reign fresh!

Delaware River ReadyWashington was a founding father and the first president of this country but he also looked pretty great in epic scenarios. That could be because of his perfectly coiffed wig.

Mistakes were MadeThe Medieval era was a time of strong fashion choices. Noble people had wild outfits! Men often wore shoes that were up to two feet long. The toes were so long that they had to be stuffed with wool and whalebone to be kept in place. Men even wore them to battle and had to cut off the tips of the toes in order to run away from the enemy. Of course, women didn't escape inconvenient fashion trends. Rich gals wore tall cone-shaped hats, making going through doorways quite tricky. Ladies who were worried about ruining their nice shoes in the mucky streets would protect them by wearing wooden stilts that slipped over their shoes. This was so difficult that they had to hire attendants to help them get from place to place. Medieval fashion trends didn't get it all right. What era did? At least now we can pick and choose what Medieval fashion trends we'd like to keep. We think this gorgeous green gown is a great place to start!Design & DetailsThis Made By Us emerald gown was created by our history-loving creative team. They work to bring pick the best fashions of the Medieval era and bring them into modern times. No need to have your servants help you into a corset. This lush velvet gown zips up the back. The gown is designed with a layered look in mind, a shift material peeps out from below the neckline and from the styled gaps in the sleeves. Off-white lace trims the front, matching the lace around the gown's cuffs. Elegant and high-quality, this Made By Us gown will be a favorite part of your costume collection for years to come. Making it RightTwo-foot long shoes and tiny personal stilts might be fashion trends that are better lost to history. This historic style, however, deserves a new life. Wear this gown to costume parties and festivals and you'll feel gorgeous in castles and condos alike!
Not So Fast, Prince John Once upon a time, jolly old England wasn't so jolly anymore. Good King Richard was off fighting the Crusades, and while he was gone, his evil brother Prince John stepped in to rule the country with a greedy hand. His idea of public reform was "Get the Sheriff of Nottingham to collect ALLLL the taxes," which had the general public feeling a little resentful, to say the least. But what he didn't count on was a vigilante hero whose main goal was to take care of the general public and have a hilariously fun time doing it. Product DetailsLook every inch the dashing outlaw in this exclusive Deluxe Robin Hood Costume for Men! The long tunic is designed to look like a sleeveless vest worn over long-sleeved, cream-colored shirt. The "vest" portion is made of brown faux suede, has decorative lacing at the chest, and a dagged hemline studded with brass-tone rivets. A short green cape (with a hood, of course!) ties at your neck. Buckle the brown faux leather belt around your waist and slip on the faux leather wrist guards before you sneak into Sherwood Forest. Merry Men Madness You have to love a folk hero who's awesome but doesn't take himself seriously. Robin Hood basically started a secret club full of his best friends, with cool uniforms and code names, and then pranked the Prince and the Sheriff's men until they were completely demoralized. Get your own band of Merry Men together to form a group costume or be the star of your own legend thanks to this amazing costume!
A Mummy MonarchAncient Egypt had plenty of gods to look up to. There was Renpet, the goddess of time. Priests revered Heka, a god of magic and medicine. Then, of course, there were upwards of a dozen death deities. Death was super complicated in Ancient Egypt. There were multiple gods and goddesses that were there simply to escort the dead to the lord of the underworld. Then there were the deities that were in charge of the different aspects of mummification. Anubis was the head honcho of this department. He was in charge of weighing a souls heart, which was the main deciding factor that let souls pass enter the realm of the dead. We wouldn't let our dogs near so many raw hearts but maybe god dogs have more self-restraint than your everyday Fido. Product Details & DesignThis Anubis costume is Made-By-Us, meaning our company designers researched this god's look to put together a unique take on Anubis's aesthetic. The tight black shirt is has attached golden cuffs,a layered belt, and making anyone wearing this costume look like they could have been painted on an ancient tomb. With uniquely shaped pants and lightweight gauze draped throughout the costume, you'll feel comfortable moving throughout a costumed event. The ensemble is topped off with a mask and showstopping jackal headpiece with striking gold and black accents. Curse of the CanineWhen it comes to raiding tombs, there's no way we'd want to cross Anubis! This hound will not hesitate to protect the mummies in its care just like a Doberman Pincher might protect its master. Although instead of a bite, this dog will serve up a curse. No wonder ancient Egyptian priests showed this god so much respect. This Halloween, become the loyal guardian of the dead with this showstopping Anubis costume!
The prehistoric bone club was only wielded by the mightiest of Neanderthals; the ones who were strong enough to hunt a menacing dinosaur with a sturdy bone structure. If you're planning on being king of the cave and have your leopard tunic already, adding the mighty bone club to your ensemble is a must.During the dawn of man only the strong survived, and the famed dinosaur club was sure to assert your dominance. Plus, the bone is picked clean. An appetite like that can only come from someone who's worked for it! But know, that great power comes with great responsibility.So, what exactly is this bone from? It kind of looks like a shin bone from a poorly drawn Apatosaurus. Or maybe a femur from an oddly-shaped sabre tooth tiger? Not sure. Wherever you want to pretend you found it, works for us.
Fierce and FearlessThe Prehistoric era was a tough time - or so we've been told, anyway. The cave people were busy from the crack of dawn till the last light of sunset with hunting saber-tooth tigers, gathering berries, and figuring out how to invent the wheel and the fire (raw saber-tooth tiger meat is pretty gross). They needed courageous girls to help them explore on the backs of their pet pterodactyls and be all kinds of awesome! Product DetailsYou'll look ready for a Pangaea-sized adventure when you wear this exclusive Prehistoric Cave Girl's Costume! The outfit includes a one-shouldered romper made of soft, leopard-print minky fabric with a cord waist tie. It's embellished with jagged brown trim along the neckline that mirrors the skirt's zig-zag hem. The brown faux suede leg warmers have criss-crossed decorative ties and the matching faux suede gauntlets slide easily onto each arm. Top it all off with the hair clip that's attached to a fiber-filled felt bone! Cave CutieBack in ye very olden days, there were no cell phones, TV shows, indoor plumbing fixtures, or chocolate, which would have been sad. On the other hand, there was no homework either, and probably no Brussels sprouts yet. Nobody knew yet that eating your vegetables was better for you than eating sugar. This Halloween, think like a cave girl and collect as much candy as you can! You can eat it next to the fire inside your cave while you paint amazing pictures on the walls for archeologists to find and marvel over. Or did cave kids get into trouble for drawing on the walls of their rooms?

Some people put on a polo shirt and a name tag when they go to work. Other guys like Maximus Decimus Meridius, well, they put on a frightening armor and grab a sword.

Quoth the Raven, 'Some Coiffure!' Once upon a Halloweeny, while we gandered weak and weary, at our hairstyle (sad and dreary) upon the mirror of our door, there we wondered a simple query, one that got us rather cheery: "Could we make our hair do more!?" The first step was to get out of that rhythmic pattern of Edgar Allan Poe's spectacular style. It's pretty tough coming up with stellar looks while you're stuck in the mindset of a haunting song. It did, however, give us some solid inspiration for ways to help you access your inner poet. Don't scratch your noggin all night trying to figure out the next stanza of your epic poem when you can transform into the epic writer in a snap! Design & DetailsOur In-House design team didn't need to wait for a mysterious devil bird to swing by and give them the idea. This Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache kit was a Made by Us design that they'd been dreaming about for a while.

Don't wait for that Telltale Heart to do the talking. Throw on this Edgar Allan Poe Wig and Mustache and you can just focus on the fun!
Stone Cold Style Medusa is a little misunderstood. All of those heroes spread malicious rumors about how terrifying she was, so that no one would know the real reason that she defeated all of them. The truth is, she possesses very powerful magic, and she's so strikingly beautiful that anyone who saw her would instantly stop dead in their tracks. "How is she soooo gorgeous?" they'd wonder. "She makes that snake hair work for her!" And while they were petrified with awe, she'd defeat them singlehandedly. The end. Product DetailsKnock 'em dead with your beauty when you wear your exclusive Plus Size Stunning Medusa Costume for Women! The pullover minidress is made of emerald green jersey knit and features a plunging V-neckline. The butterfly sleeves are edged with gold ribbon and decorated with metallic green mesh drape that secures to each shoulder via a faux snakeskin epaulet. The golden faux snakeskin belt is embellished with a faceted plastic jewel and the skirt's hemline is printed with a geometric pattern. Crown yourself with the headband that's adorned with snake details! Mythically Marvelous Step back many, many years in time and embrace the allure of a sorceress siren! A few words of advice: Don't trust Athena (she really knows how to hold onto a grudge) and surround yourself with fellow fierce women. Together you'll be so amazing that stories will be handed down from generation to generation about how amazing you are! Even Hercules can't compete with that tale of how you were able to start a statue collection with the victims you collected.
The Long Way Round Some kids are born explorers. You can tell when they're mere babies. These are the kids that turn over onto their bellies weeks before they're supposed to. They move on to exhibiting an alarming obsession with climbing the stairs and escaping out of doors. Then, when they're in kindergarten they might have a "why" phase, trying to learn as much as they can about the world as fast as possible. If your child is a natural explorer then you've probably found out about his natural tendencies, it's pretty hard to miss!We're sure that Columbus showed off his curious side early on in life, testing the bounds of Italian village life as soon as he was toddling around. And when he was determined to find a new trade route to India, we bet no one was surprised when the explorer stopped at nothing until he had the ships he needed to see what lands lay beyond the Atlantic horizon!Details & DesignDesigned by our in-house creative team, this lush costume is perfect for school presentations, plays, as well as Halloween. The black tunic is belted at the waist. A faux-fur-trimmed coat is layered over top and has a wide cut that was fashionable in Columbus's time. The look is topped off with a hat that would look right at home at the helm of the Santa Maria. Picture PerfectDo you want your child to look like he's stepping out of the past? Finish off this costume with white knee-high socks, black shoes, and a telescope and he'll be ready to represent the man with the new voyage plan. A comfortably warm look, this is a unique choice for Halloween and an A-plus idea for your intrepid young explorer!
Well, good morrow to you, young squire! Have another mug of mead to warm that belly. Aye, the tavern is where we call home. As they say, sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your title. So come on in, pull up a stool to the bar and have a drink with Cliff, the scroll-delivery man and Norm, whatever he does for a living. And then there's Frasier, Diane, basically, everybody knows your title at the tavern (Alright so it's not exactly Cheers but can't it at least feel that way?!). The best thing about Renaissance taverns is that no one hassles you for spending all your time there. Plenty of bar wenches to leer at too, once you've had one too many mugs of beer. And taverns are great places to find adventures!Yes, that's right, adventures. You never know when you'll bump into a knight on his way to slay a dragon. Or perhaps an eccentric old wizard, who turned his apprentice into a frog and must now journey to the forbidden forests to retrieve a pure witch's eye for his cure potion. Or maybe some of the king's men will come in, demanding free drinks and grabbing a wench for fun. Or maybe some rioting townspeople are planning to burn you at the stake because they think you're responsible for the drought. Oh dear. Taverns seem pretty dangerous, now that we think of it. Why are dangerous people always ending up in taverns? Next think you know, that knight will be leading a dragon right to you. And those townspeople will start a bonfire for you. Either that or people will start calling you the town drunk, which, let's face it, you are. How could you not be? You spend every waking moment (and many passed out moments) in that tavern drinking.
There can't be too many things in life that are better than being a pilot! You get paid to fly, you travel for free, and you get to skip all the waiting around in an airport! The only thing we could think that would be better is if you were a pilot in a crazier version of reality! Not like a futuristic version that has you flying through space (Although, that would be amazing!). No, think of an alternate reality where you could be a steampunk pilot! With this Antique Gear Wing Pin, you could be manning the cockpit of some insanely geared-out and steam-powered flying machine. Through the infamous London Fogs you would go and burst out of the dark smog into the clear blue skies, quite the wonder it would be. Now, before you would be allowed to fly any crazy contraptions off into the horizon, you will need the proper qualifications. We're sorry to inform you that we can't help out with that... but we can certainly make you appear to have the correct certifications! No one will second guess your flying skills when they see this winged steampunk pin on the lapel of your 19th century pilot outfit. Check out the rest of our Steampunk accessories and really make everyone wonder if they've been transported to an alternate reality this Halloween.
No Victorian gentleman would be caught dead without their hat! The type of hat they wore usually depended on where they lived, which in the United Kingdom and American East Coast was probably a bowler. It has since become the trademark symbol of a true dapper English gent, and, believe it or not, was also pretty popular in the Wild West. If you think about it, a cowboy hat is basically just a bigger bowler with a wider brim. Who says cowboys can't look classy? These days, bowlers may not be the big fashion accessories they once were, but they can still add some very dashing style to your ensemble. Next time you are dressing up for a fancy party, try this Black Velour Bowler Hat on for size. It would look very proper with a black suit and tie. Or, if you're feeling like experimenting with new styles, see if you can pull off this bowler hat look with your every day outfits!
The Brave SuffragetteSuffragettes bravely fought for the right to vote around the world. International organizations like the International Woman Suffrage Alliance helped foster the movement for voting rights and equal civil rights anywhere where they weren't already law. The movement in the United Kingdom was particularly notable for getting suffrage passed through 2 laws in 1918 and 1928.

Life as a PioneerThe pioneers were brave people. A picturesque life on the prairie included all sorts of dangers. Relentlessly hot summers gave way to brutally cold winters. People would look up from their work when and see a wall of prairie fires headed toward their farm, growing taller with each foot of grass that was consumed. Then there were the terrifying swarms of locusts that not only ate the crops but would devour the clothes and the clothes line if the laundry hadn't been brought in fast enough.So why, after all that trouble, do we remember the days of the pioneer so fondly? It was a time of hope. Those people with limited options who had only known the crowded city streets of coastal cities could find a place where they could watch the sunset and rise on an open horizon. They could build something all their own and truly be free. The communities out there were the definition of tightly knit. And how awesome would it have been to travel by covered wagon?Product DetailsWhen your daughter dresses as in this dress, she'll feel as free as that pioneer girl collecting herbs and roots on the prairie. You can almost imagine the larks singing in the grasses as she spins around in the long skirt. Whether she's starring as the charming Laura Ingalls Wilder for in the school play or the whole family is headed to a Rendezvous, this costume will make you feel sentimental for that sun-washed, simple time. One thing is for sure, it's hard not to get into character in this ensemble. Next thing you know she'll want to trade in her tablet for hoop and stick game.
Don’t Cross HerA lot of people have at least heard of Florence Nightingale. She is one of the most famous women of all time, and for sure the best-known nurse that there is. Pioneering better hygiene and living standards for patients is something that we can all thank her for, as well as the many other good practices she pushed for in her lifetime.What a lot of people don’t know is that she had quite the temper, too! She used to sneak up on her staff and yell at them if they were caught slacking, which is why everyone banded together and suggested that she wear a bright red cross at all times. That way, at least, they would be able to see her coming!Product DetailsDeciding to dress up as one of the most iconic heroines of all of history is a great idea, so it is a good thing you found this Women's Plus Size Florence Nightingale Costume!

Don't Go Empty-HandedEvery warrior needs a weapon! You can't charge into an epic battle without a trusty sword in your hand. Well, you can... but we wouldn't advise it and neither would Ragnar Lothbrok! The fierce Viking leader has seen his share of battles and he always has his sword in hand if he can help it! If you're planning to cosplay as the iconic character, then you'll need a toy weapon just like his!Design & DetailsThis Vikings Ragnar Lothbrok Toy Sword is inspired by the one wielded by Ragnar in the Vikings series. The toy weapon is made out of molded plastic and comes with a silver blade. The middle of the blade has runes inscribed into it. The handle has red accents and a rounded pommel on the end. Since it is a toy, we don't recommend charging into battle with it, but it will complete your Ragnar costume as you invade the next costume party!
Being the leader of the Wolf tribe has some important requisites. Firstly, you have to have the right bloodline. The family of the wolf have been ruling the north for a thousand years, and the houses of the north know only one name as their master. And secondly, and perhaps even more importantly, you need to know how to swing a sword in battle. Whether you need to head south to avenge your blood, or you just need to hold down the fort when they snow starts flying, you just never know when you're going to need to have your sword handy to battle it out.Of course, our recommendation would be to arm yourself with this Wolf Master shield and sword set. It has a molded design of a wolf's head featured prominently on the shield, which makes carrying it around kind of a no-brainer. (Since the wolf is the sigil of your family, of course!) But, it also comes with a sweet sword that's ready for action. While this plastic armament set might not actually suffice for battling snow zombies or trying to unseat the king, it will complete your authentic medieval look. Pick up this unique prop accessory set to complete your costume!

Halloweencostumes.com knew, that's who.
Off to the Ball The Season is so packed with festivities! Today alone, you have a promenade in Hyde Park, a tea with your five best friends, and the Duke's ball this evening.

Product DetailsUncle Sam must have never been told that pointing is rude. Then again, he does it with such dignity maybe it's not offensive when it comes from him! That little smirk that accompanies is enough to make us dash off to the nearest military recruitment office!

Not many people have the bravery to take a soul patch to a whole new level, with hair sprouting from the chin and only the chin.

What we do in life... echoes in eternity.So says General Maximus at the beginning of the classic Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. While that is some expertly written and memorable dialogue, we hope it's also a true statement. But we have no idea! What do we look like, metaphysicists?? We don't know what happens in eternity! But if our life echoes within it, we're glad you're taking a look at this officially licensed General Maximus costume, because it's epic enough to wear forever.The only thing we'd advise against is getting into any actual Roman battles wearing this thing. It's made of latex and not metal as it appears. That being said, you could probably frighten some barbarians with it, but we don't really recommend that either. That would require a costly trip to Germany, and also a time machine to around 180AD. That's also where you'd have to go to get the real version of this armor. Since that technology doesn't exist, we think our version is an amazing first realistic choice!Since this costume has incredible details and quality (How about that realistic armor and fur trimmed cape? It's straight out of the movie!) we think you should go to a party, wait for the exact right moment, then step up into the spotlight and give an incredible, awe-inspiring speech to all your fellow party-goers. That's what Maximus would do! You'll be remembered in poetry and song as the greatest general Rome had ever seen... to give a rousing speech while holding a red Solo cup."Brothers! What we drink tonight... will echo in our bodies tomorrow, and possibly eternity!"*drink responsibly
The Marvelous Montague Let's face it: The Capulets are just jealous of your swagger. That's the only reason for them to be continuing this silly feud instead of inviting you to their big masquerade party. The joke's on them, though: You never wait to be invited when there's a good time to be had! And thank goodness for your spirit of adventure, because without it, you certainly would never have met a certain lovely Capulet lady. An epic love story like this one can only end well... right? Product DetailsDefy fate and channel one of history's most famous characters when you wear this exclusive Star-Crossed Romeo Costume for Boys! The velour top fastens behind its mock-turtleneck collar and is decorated with an inset panel and puffed sleeves that are printed with a pattern of metallic gold swirls. A black faux leather belt fastens around your waist and features a gold-tone buckle. The velour pants are cropped below your knees and have elastic in each cuff. Your crowning touch is the Tudor-style cap bedecked with a bright red feather. Wherefore Art Thou? We can only imagine that the Bard himself would thoroughly approve of a costume like this one. It's perfect both for Halloween fun and for taking the stage as one of Shakespeare's best-loved heroes. Maybe your director will even let you use real swords for your duel with Tybalt, but if not, don't worry. There's still lots more fun to be had. Daggers and poison tend to make stories pretty exciting.
The Maddest InventionDeep underground, a scientist works feverishly towards her goal. If she doesn't have this ready by morning, the local authorities will be able to shut down her lab. She mixes frantically, muttering instructions and cackling to herself. The final beaker tips into the pot, and there is a searing flash of light. The chemical is ready! The woman holds up the finished vial, its glowing contents reflected in her safety goggles. Her maniacal laugh echoes off the stone walls. Those officers don't stand a chance! Tell your own story with the help of these Silver/Mirror Atomic Ray Goggles.Product DetailsYou don't have to go mad scientist with these, if you don't want to! These silver goggles will work with many costumes. The dark lenses remind us of a Lady Gaga music video, or a techy space cowboy. The goggles also have an adjustable, stretchy band, so you can fit these over different hoods and hairstyles. Please note that these goggles are not actually safe for any mad scientist plots, so if you're headed to a real lab, maybe take some certified eye wear with you! For a costume, though, these will add the perfect final touch.
