The new styles have already attracted industry attention, due in part to the breadth of selection and the opportunity for parents to personalize a child's costume with coordinating accessories. Batman, for example, comes to life with accessories including a grappling hook, flashlight and treat pail, plus complementary costumes for men and dogs. A host of Star Wars costumes and accessories are available, from a young Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader.
In developing their new line, Costume Express went straight to the experts-parents-to find out what kids want this year. Action heroes are a perennial favorite, with parents reporting Batman Begins and Fantastic Four to be among children's most-anticipated summer movies. As for kids' favorite heroes, parents listed Spider-Man, Wonder Woman and Batman as most popular.(1)
Costume Express responded, offering Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and a host of other superheroes contemporary and classic-the Thing, Power Rangers, the Incredibles and more-for boys, girls, and adults.
Much of the collection is available now at www.CostumeExpress.com, with the full line debuting August 1, 2005.
