With Great Fancy Dress Comes Great Responsibility

As promised, the follow-up to the previous superhero costume blog! Something for those of you without a love of skirts (and a possible love of tight-fitting trousers.) Every day someone orders a superhero costume, which proves they’re popular! Choose your battles wisely, Superman, you never know who or what your kryptonite may be.

I think we’ll kick this off with something a little less traditional; Batfink! Who doesn’t remember the awesome crime fighter, with wings of steel?! You don’t? Well, I suggest you look up Batfink on Youtube and remind yourself. If you don’t fancy a full night of mask-wearing, we have some awesome face-paint that will do the job nicely; and it’s at a criminally low price, too!
