NEW COSTUME REVIEW

Posted on 09/07/2009
FIVE OUT FIVE STARS!!! I know more about the KISS costumes than most...I have been making KISS costumes since I was a little kid in the mid seventies. I have replica costume pieces and actual costume pieces in my collection. I notice things that the average person doesn't. So, here's my honest review. Gene-The best way to explain this new costume is the best of both worlds. They gave us the best of the Gene's iconic costumes. It's very DESTROYER (darker armor...which I like tons more than the shiny platinum), a new chest plate and the classic spikes down the outside leg/dragon head Love Gun (boots). There is no way that Gene can vary too far from these two particular eras. This is CLASSIC Gene from head to toe. Five out of five stars! The demon of my childhood is back and ready to menace the stage! Paul-His costume gets the M.V.P. award. Possibly the best ever Starchild costume ever made. The boots rock! You have take a close look at these platforms to truly appreciate their design. It's a fresh look, but it also takes it's cues from past outfits. Paul is a ringmaster who commands attention from beginning to end. This costume will make his the star of the show! The is hands down the best of the new costumes. I give this one 5 out of 5...wish I could give it 6! Tommy-Knowing that Tommy has a track on "Sonic Boom" about lightning, it only made sense for him to incorporate it into his costume. Combining the lightning bolts with a Destroyer era design is PERFECT! The boots are completely orginal as well. Kind of Elder-inspired, yet totally original. The shoulders have been adjusted to give this classic look a new twist An outfit worthy of a spaceman! I alsol give this one 5 out of 5 stars! Eric-Costume looks very cool. Simpistic and early KISS in design. The Catman designs always worked best when you had a simple, form fitting outfit. Unless you're a fan of the big green lion heads of the Dynasty period, the costume should suit you fine from head to toe. (Orginal, yet classic at the same time) I have to give it 5 out of 5 stars! These costumes should satisfy the cravings of old "die-hard" fans wanting something new without sacrificing the classic of iconic KISS that newer fans will be expecting. I am glad they stuck with a classic black and silver look. Overall, the new costumes deserve 5 out 5 stars!!! Congrats guys...now I'll have to spend the extra the cash for that meet and greet. I want a pic with these new costumes! -Bill France
