KIRKLAND, Wash., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Costume Express offered a sneak peek at its new line this week, highlighting Hollywood-inspired costumes for children. With buzz building around summer movies, Costume Express showcased its Batman Begins and Star Wars: Episode III styles that kids can wear to the movies ahead of the traditional costume season.
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 http://www.costumeexpress.com/, with the full line debuting August 1, 2005.
