We all know about the hot Christmas toy each yet. In 2009, it was the ZhuZhu Pets. In years past, it was the Wii, the Nintendo DS, Furbys, Cabbage Patch dolls, etc. While it doesn’t get as much press, there are also hot Halloween costumes each year as well. When looking at what’s new for 2010, there are definitely some stand outs that you’ll want to take note of. If you’re looking to buy Halloween costumes at a local store, don’t expect to find these because if they’re expected to sell out online, they’ll sell out even faster on store shelves (just another reason why we also recommend you buy Halloween costumes online).

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland has had an almost cult-like underground following by teens and young adults, particularly over the characters of Alice and the Mad Hatter. They only increased in popularity with the 2010 release of Tim Burton’s live action Alice in Wonderland film. He’s signature stylistic touch led to a number of intricate new costumes, with an elegant gothic twist to our favorite animated characters. When searching Buy Costumes, we’ve found an Alice costume, a Depp Mad Hatter Costume, and a Queen of Hearts costume – all replicas from the Burton film. Buy Costumes also carries a variety of accessories, such as the fantastic costume boots we see Alice wearing in the picture to the left and a vibrant red wig similar to the one that was part of the Johnny Depp Mad Hatter Costume.
