300 Costume Ideas

About the "300"

In 1998, comic book scribe Frank Miller (famous for re-inventing Batman in "The Dark Knight Returns") collaborated with artist Lynn Varley to create a re-telling of the Battle of Thermopylae, when 300 Spartan warriors held off a full-scale Persian army bent on conquering all nations under its banner in 480 B.C. Fast forward to 2007 and Miller's graphic novel epic was translated to the big screen with the feature film, "300," capturing all of the violent beauty of Varley's original artwork in cinematographic form.

Dressing as 300

Authentically licensed "300" costumes are available to allow you to dress as the Spartan King and General, Leonidas, the brave warrior who fought side-by-side with his 300 men to fend off the Persians. Clad in the included flowing red cape, golden arm and shin guards and distinctive, plumed Spartan helmet, you will be almost ready for battle. Sold separately are Spartan swords and shields to carry you through the toughest military campaign. Also available are costumes for the Spartan Queen Gorgo and the ninja-like harbingers of the Persian army, the Immortals.
