Deluxe Barack Obama Mask
Because really, what better way to exemplify the political turmoil than to don the face of our commander in chief. Regardless of your political affiliation, the possibilities here are endless. Pair it with a dapper suit, a chicken costume, or something woefully more offensive.

Captain America Movie: Captain America Prestigue Adult Costume
Captain America: The First Avenger hit theaters a few months back to widespread acclaim. As a lead-up Marvel’s ensemble Avengers film due out next year, Cap worked marvelously (haha, pun) well – and our prestige edition costumes are no exception. Take the geek out of geeky by looking plain old badass in this costume. Sure, that just leaves you with “y” as in, “Y R y0U W4i7in’ 70 8UY 7hiz k057uME?” (THATS L33t!)

Jersey Shore Snooki Pink Black Leopard Print Adult Costume
Ah, the Jersey Shore. Thousands upon thousands of years from now, when mankind has ultimately fallen, be at the will of tyrannical war, global crisis, or more likely, just time – a distant, and intelligent civilization will stumble across our tiny rock in this solar system. Upon closer, forensic examination, they will learn of our “historical documents” that span the length of several years in the early 21st century chronicling the trials and tribulations that individuals like Snooki encounter involving something only deemed as “The Situation.” YOU TOO CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT LEGACY with this awesome Snooki costume!

Glee Sue Track Suit Red Adult Costume
I’m going to be honest here, I don’t know much about Glee. BUT, what I do know is that Jane Lynch, who places Sue Sylvester is an absolute comedic genius, so I can see the appeal in watching a show with someone as funny as her on it. I also know that the show is insanely popular, and that it involves singing – lots, and lots of singing.
#6
The Walking Dead Rick Grimes Teen Costume
Oh man, The Walking Dead comes back to television network AMC on Sunday, October 16th – and it’s probably one of the most hotly anticipated shows of the fall – with good reason. Did you know that’s its based on a comic book series? If you’re enjoying the show, you might enjoy the comics and you should probably check them out. We’ve got three versions of this awesome Rick Grimes costume depending on what size you are. You can find the others (along with some official Walking Dead zombie costumes) here. On top of that, on our Facebook page, we’re doing a Walking Dead Sweepstakes.

Monster High Frankie Stein Child Costume
Monsters go to high school now? Monster High is hot this year, and you can snag an awesome official Monster High costume for your kids right here at BuyCostumes.com.
#4
Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Movie: Bumblebee 3D Theatrical w/Vacuform Adult Costume
Transformers 3 was a big deal. Both in terms of size, and cost. Think $250,000,000. That’s a pretty decent chunk of change – but I guess that’s to be expected, since transforming robots don’t come cheap these days (when did they ever, really?). While this costume is a little on the expensive side, it’s worth every single penny. Vacuform, bro. It forms, vacuum-ly to your body. And thus-ly, it is awesome.
#3
Harry Potter Gryffindor Robe Child Costume
Y’er a wizard, ‘arry! It was truly the end of an era this year, as the Harry Potter film series saw it’s seventh and final installment. But, not unsurprisingly, the legend will live on for years to come. As what child, or adult really doesn’t secretly want to dress up in a wizarding robe and wizard around, all day, every day, every where?
#2
Lady Gaga Tuxedo Adult Costume
Ra ra, oh, ah, ah. Ting, tang, walla walla, bing, bang. Oh e, oh, e ah… I digress. Lady, or Ms. Gaga, if you insist, has bee a literal and, mostly figurative rocket on the popularity charts over the past five years, and as near as I can tell (though I profess to be no pop culture expert) she’s nowhere near plateauing anytime soon. You can mimic the sophisticated, fancy-dan style that Gaga displayed in her perennially popular “Born This Way” music video.

Rehab Zombie Accessory Kit Adult
I’ll let this one speak for itself.
