DRESS UP AS YOUR FAVOURITE FILM HERO

A weird thing happened in the world of film around 8 years ago. Iron Man was released in the cinema and suddenly there was a massive craze for all things sci fi and superhero.

Flash forward some years and the world is now in a frenzy, especially with boys under the age of 10.

The truth is, these films and comics have always been popular among collectors and hard-core sci-fi fans. It’s just taken a few movies and a blockbuster title to garner attention from everyone else.

Because of the recent spike in everything related to Marvel and DC, it means that more and more merchandise is being released. This includes the manufacturing of replica superhero fancy dress costumes.

Of course, star wars fancy dress has always been made, but it is now mass produced thanks to the recent movies.

In this presentation, we’re going to be taking a look at the top 5 male and top 5 female superhero/science fiction fancy dress costumes.

MALE COSTUMES

#1 BATMAN

Batman fancy dress has been a staple of the industry. Sales have boomed since the release of the new films staring Christian Bale.

#2 SUPERMAN

If you picture yourself as a modern day Clark Kent, why not pick up a tight blue outfit? What do you think, pants on the inside or outside?

#3 DARTH VADER

Sometimes, dressing up as the baddy is just as fun as dressing up as the good guys. Darth Vader is a star wars fancy dress staple and should be found on every list dealing with this subject.

#4 LEGO MAN

Fairly new to the scene, the Lego movie has left people wanting to dress up as their yellow heroes (and I don’t mean The Simpsons).

#5 THOR

What’s better than dressing up in leather and swinging the world’s biggest hammer around? Nothing, that’s what.

LADIES COSTUMES

#1 PRINCESS LEIA

This has been one of the most popular dressing up outfits for decades. Star wars fancy dress parties would not be complete without at least 15 Princess Leia’s walking around.

#2 DAPHNE

This costume is not as popular as it used to be, but it is still strong in this category. Now all you need is a counterpart to dress up as Fred.

#3 CATWOMAN

Are you a Halle Berry or an Anne Hathaway? Either way, you’re sure to get the heads turning when you rock up dressed in the classic Catwoman Costume.

#4 LARA CROFT

When struggling with something to wear, tie your hair up and don some combat style clothes. You have an instant Lara Croft costume which is recognised by everyone.

#5 WONDERWOMAN

There’s just one caution when dressing up as Wonder Woman. Do not get drunk and try and fly your invisible plane home. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
