Look no further than GI Joe costumes for one of the most popular themes this Halloween. Kids with active imaginations will love dressing up as these modern day warriors with the coolest weapons and outfits.

Let your oldest kid act out the role of first sergeant, Duke, who’s always looking out for his team members. The young ones in the family can choose who among the characters they’d want to mimic – be it the ninja who can expertly engage in hand-to-hand combat, or the brave annihilator of Cobra commander.

Ninja Assassins

For your little ninja warrior, a GI Joe costume he’ll love wearing is the classic kiddie black jumpsuit and mask. There’s an array to choose from online. Just add the right footwear to complete the fun outfit – black boots.

A second option is going with the all white look. The ninja Storm Shadow has an all white outfit, complete with white shoes, sword and throwing stars.

Checking up on oyur subject matter is always agood idea when it comes to creating a one of a kind realistic look. For instance, if you did a little background checking on Snake Eyes, GI Joe’s ninja team member, you would find out he keeps his face hidden behind goggles and a mask because he has some very serious scars which he received in the past.

Females in GI Joe

Have a daughter who wants to join the costumed fun? Let her be the black bodysuit-clad female member of the GI Joe team, Scarlett, and hand her a crossbow. Just be sure she does not inflict any serious harm on her ninja brothers using it.

Finishing Touches

It’s easy to add little finishing touches to your child’s GI Joe costume with realistic helmets, swords, and high quality gloves. The next level would be to go with one of the deluxe muscle armor kits available with most of the costumes.

And don’t neglect to bring your digital camera along to catch all the memories. You want to save the moments so you can reflect back on them and share them with family and friends.
