With the movie “Kick Ass” doing really well in cinemas, super heroes have never been more popular, with everyone wanting to mimic their favourite hero or heroine by donning their super hero costumes.

The comedic movie, based on the Marvel Comics’ Icon imprint book centers on a high school nerd named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero named “Kick Ass” even though he has no powers, ability or coordination. Things change when he runs into real bad guys with real powers and the adventure starts.

Super hero costumes have steadily been popular amongst our customers. Whether it’s Superman, Batman, Wolverine, or how about involving the kids as  Supergirl and Spiderman?

What super hero costume is your favourite? Or if you could create your own hero costume what would it be like?

Found on the BBC Web Page, Borat Mankini Wins the Fancy Dress Costume competition. Shows you for as little as Euro 13.99, you can be the best dressed! Wait is that comment really supposed to go with this picture?

We have added several new costumes to TheCostumeShop.ie today which reflect the top searches on our site which turned out not to have results:

Racing Driver Costume 44.99 Euro

Cleopatra Costume

 And most importantly the Official Disney Snow White Costume –  Which in my opinion is one of the best costumes around and at 65.99 Euro its great value for money.
