It’s 3D all the way for Escapade fancy dress: the retailer launches new costumes to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace
Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 27 January 2012
Around the world, Star Wars fans are eagerly anticipating the staged release of the phenomenally successful space series in 3D. The first film to receive the 3D treatment, Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace, is due out in February and, as international trailers are posted on fan sites, online forums and message boards are buzzing with excitement.
Supporting industries are also optimistic about the launch, with new action figures, costumes, games and posters being snapped up by fans. London-based Escapade, who stock collectors’ costumes, deluxe costumes and accessories in their range of Star Wars fancy dress, are seeing an upturn in sales for their children’s costumes. Director Bhupendra Maisuria believes this is because the release of the films in 3D – some 35 years after the original Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope hit cinema screens in 1977 – will bring the epic adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and their battles with the dark side of the Force to a whole new generation.
With George Lucas reportedly waiting until ‘enough’ cinemas could support 3D, new, younger fans will be able to watch the saga unfold over the next five years.
“At Escapade we are huge fans of the Star Wars saga, from the classic old films to the exciting brand new releases and to prove it we are proud to boast the UK’s biggest collection of Star Wars fancy dress,” said Bhupendra. “Our Star Wars range also features costumes – for adults and children – that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK.”
Among the new-for-2012 Star Wars themed children’s fancy dress outfits are the Savage Opress costume, the deluxe Chewbacca costume, the Jawa costume and, or course, the Stormtrooper costume. And grown-up fans might fancy donning one of the new Emperor’s Royal Guard, Darth Maul or Shadow Trooper costumes.
As well as stocking up on new costumes, Escapade are celebrating the upcoming film release with a competition to win two rather covetable prizes. Hosted by UK film release and gaming site heyuguys.co.uk, the competition features a deluxe Darth Vader costume (complete with full head helmet and light saber) and a collectors’ edition Stormtrooper helmet. It will run until 30 January, so there are still a few days to enter! Go to http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/category/competitions for more information.
