Leading costume retailer, Costume Cauldron http://www.costumecauldron.com, the people’s choice for a wide selection of more than 10,000 Halloween costumes and accessories since 2004, has launched its new G.I. JOE Halloween costume products for the upcoming Halloween season in addition to thousands of fresh arrivals to celebrate this year’s Halloween festival.

Skillfully designed and produced under original license, G.I. JOE costumes from the company are meant to capture the true essence of these Hasbro action figures, cartoon characters turned box office movie heros, all in their grandeur and military splendor.

The Duke styled Halloween costumes, which is available in two children’s sizes, gives trick or treaters and young Halloween party goers a real chance to be the real thing. The GI Duke costume sizes 4-6 and 7-8 for little ones are made from durable premium fabric in black and designed like a jump suit. The costume comes with a matching mask closely coordinated to resemble the authentic character. The GI Duke Muscle Adult on the other hand, gives all the big boys a chance to connect with their childhoods and defeat the forces of COBRA on Halloween night in this brand new character costume. Also inspired by the recent movie, it features a jumpsuit with stuffed armor torso and a matching helmet, perfect for adult sizes 42-46.

Complimenting this Halloween costumes patriotic sentiment is the Snake Eyes costume, perfect for the darker side of G.I. JOE. The Snake Eyes muscle Halloween costumes come in two sizes–medium and small. The immaculately fashioned jumpsuit, true color with a muscle torso and arms, features a scary fabric hood with visor.

“We all remember G.I. JOE from growing up. It’s exciting to have an old favorite redone in a selection of Halloween costumes for our children to enjoy,” remarks Customer Service Representative Stacey Ford, who works closely with Moms and Dads looking for costume recommendations for their excited little heroes.

To project a more elaborate look for the Snake Eyes costume, Ms. Ford suggests the newly arrived Snake Eyes Combat Vest & Holder; a black combat vest and holster which comes with four pockets and features a criss-cross strapping motif, can be worn over a regular outfit with no compromise to appeal and Halloween splendor.
