Costume Express the Exclusive Retailer of Wario Costumes

New Berlin, WI (PRWEB) October 14, 2010

Costume Express today announced the arrival of its exclusive adult Wario costumes. Now, almost all of the great characters from the Super Mario Bros. family of games are available online at CostumeExpress.com: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and, finally, Wario.

With his purple suspenders and yellow shirt and hat, Wario is an obvious reference to Mario himself. In fact, his name is a combination of the Japanese adjective for bad, warui and Mario’s name. Created as an unrelated exaggerated nemesis to Mario, the character was first featured in 1992, since then, Wario has become as synonymous with Nintendo as the rest of his Super Mario brethren. The character has been featured in numerous games; including the popular Mario Kart and Mario Party series’ He also served as the primary anti-hero in both the Wario Land and Warioware series’.

“The characters from Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. games make great Halloween costumes,” said Dotty Zolper, merchandise manager for adult costumes. “With Wario now available, it gives our customers more costume options, especially for group or family costumes.”

CostumeExpress.com carries Halloween Costumes in adult and kids sizes for most of the Super Mario Bros. characters. However, the new Wario costume comes only in adult sizes.

In addition to costumes, Costume Express’ sister site, BirthdayExpress.com, also is the exclusive online source for Super Mario Bros. party supplies. Costume Express is your ultimate destination for Super Mario Bros. costumes and party supplies.

Halloween Costumes which are sold online at places like http://acoolplanet.com and http://24hr-shopping.com are reporting the strongest sales ever this year for their online Halloween Costumes, masks and decorations.

Part of these increased sales for online retailers are attributed to lack of supply for product demand by the common on premise costume retailer. The online costumes retailers are cashing in on that gap and also offering their customers a no hassle easy way to buy costumes without the Christmas shopper attitudes that can be found at most halloween costumes stores as October 31st approaches. Because of the annual Halloween shopping frenzy, costume shops are usually sold out of costumes in their stores before October 15th which is why the online halloween costumes stores are raking in the missed conventional retailer profits.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 18, 2007

The demand for Halloween costumes, props and accessories is expected to be at an all-time high for 2007. Heather Siegel, Vice President of costume store HalloweenMart has watched the costume industry grow over the past few years and agrees, “The trend for 2007 Halloween costumes is definitely leaning toward movie character costumes, sexy costumes and superhero costumes.” Siegel adds, “While traditional costumes like French maids and pirates consistently rank high on the list of Halloween favorites, each year sees its own costume trends.”

For kids, storybook themes often top Halloween costumes trends lists, but for 2007 there is a definite silver screen influence with ninja costumes, Spiderman and Simpsons costumes expected to lead the list. And with so many blockbuster movies this year, Siegel says, “HalloweenMart is prepared for dramatic sales of Transformer costumes, Captain Jack Sparrow costumes and Shrek costumes.”

In adult costumes, sexy costumes for women have also seen a lot of growth over the last few years, as TV shows like The Girls Next Door increased demand for Playboy costumes. Halloween is when women think its fun and safe to let their alter egos emerge and have fun dressing in French maid costumes, mermaid costumes and pirate wench costumes. But Ms. Siegel says that another Halloween costume trend for women this year is sexy sports-chick costumes, thanks in large part to the ever-growing popularity of Nascar. “You can expect to see ladies in sexy Nascar costumes, referee costumes and even boxer costumes at costume parties nationwide.”

And finally, in adult costumes for men, 2007 trends are all about superheroes. As always, Star Wars costumes and Spiderman costumes top the Halloween costume trends list, but this year you can also expect to see plenty of Superman costumes and 300 character costumes because of the blockbuster movie based on the comic book. And what will men who don’t want to save the planet be for Halloween 2007? Ms. Siegel says “Look for a lot of Elvis impersonators this year.”

About HalloweenMart

The e-tailer’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the company also operates a 20,000 square foot costume and prop superstore filled with endless options for Halloween costumes, costume accessories, theater makeup, costume wigs and much, much more.
