Popeye Costume
By Rochelle Stenway
If you like Popeye, you will be glad to know that Popeye costume sets are becoming quite famous nowadays. Popeye the Sailor Man is definitely one of the most memorable figures in comic history. Created by Elzie Crisler Segar in the late 20s, this comic character and his adventures has been giving fun to both young and old audiences.
Now, is Popeye your favorite character? Are you shopping around for the attire that will really be interesting this coming Halloween? The Popeye costume is definitely it. Check out some of these Popeye costume ensembles that will work well for you this coming Halloween.
Popeye Costumes for Adults
Popeye is a sailor so it is just natural that he will be wearing something you?d see on regular seamen. He wears a black, short-sleeved top with yellow buttons and a red sailor?s collar. A pair of bright blue trousers held on the waist well by an equally bright yellow belt is also included in the set.
Accessories will definitely make your whole look complete. In this case, you will need three very important things. First of all, you?ve got the arms with the anchor tattoos which grow big after eating a can of spinach. Then there?s the white hat. Let?s not forget the pipe. Unfortunately, these are made available separately. This officially licensed Popeye costume is available in the standard men?s sizes: small, medium and large. There is also a plus size costume, in case you need that.
Popeye Costumes for Kids, Toddlers and Infants
The costume set for children are pretty much the same with the ones available for adults. Most of the time, kids costumes are available in jumpsuits or overalls. Make sure that you get the right size for your children.
Olive Oyl ? The Leading Lady
Few girls would want to be the hero Popeye himself. Olive Oyl is the most obvious choice for you to get. This really is the Popeye merchandise that will suit the ladies.
Popeye?s girlfriend hails from NYC. She is chic and often wears a red top with a white petal collar and an A-line black skirt. However, you should expect that most costume ensembles are just a one-piece dress. But do not fret; this is actually way more convenient for you. Just like Olive, tie your hair in a simple bun on your nape. If you cannot, you might want to get a black wig instead.
Brutus ? The Adversary
If your friend gets the Popeye costume first before you did, you are left with one other choice. That is Brutus, the foe. Think of it this way, you would look great coming in the party together. This includes a simple black shirt, a pair of yellow trousers, a blue belt, matching blue sailor?s cap and the muscle arms. Brutus? beard is not part of the regular ensemble for sale, though, and must be bought separately.
If you want to be strong to the finish and eat cans of Spinach, you really need to get a Popeye costumes set as soon as possible. The one for kids, Olive Oyl and Brutus are all new merchandise for 2011 so grab one now while there are still stocks.
