Title: Armored Knight

Date: Oct 25, 2008

Overall this was a good costume. I like the Tunic part very much, I decided on this one mainly because I already had the shield and weapons from previous Halloween Wall Decorations. The Shoulders, Chest, and Helmet were not quite what I was expecting. The Shoulders and Helmet are molded from what the ad says as vinyl (Same as any other mask you would buy from a store pretty much). These come squished in the package so don't expect to wear it right out of the box. I had to stuff the helmut full of newpapers to reform it and get out the creases. I read a trick to help with costumes, which was to stuff the small areas (like horns, ears, etc...) with cotton balls so they keep their shape. And just to add a side note - The Helmet (vinyl) smelled when I first opened it, but after a few days the smell went away. The chest piece is a different material then the helmet, shoulders, and Belt. It was more like a styrofoam molded pad. Only problem is there is know way to keep the bottom part of the chest piece down, so you may have to be creative with that (There were no directions with it so maybe i am missing something). Have to be creative with the pants and shoes part. I found some shoe covers on a different website that have 3 spikes on them. Looks ok with the costume (shoe covers just strap over your regular shoes). For the pants I am using just a pair of black pants, but purchased pirate boot covers also (havent got these yet - due in 2 days). The pirate boot covers go from the top of the boots to about my knees (these are without the normal flair you see on most pirate boot covers). From the picture they looked close to the wrist/arm bands that came with the costume. For an added effect I am using the green glowing face paint for around my eyes (Might have to see If i can find red glowing face paint). Since the mask is dark it makes my eyes glow inside the mask.

An acceptable replacement to the "Dark King" that was no longer available. The chest plate is only thin form but the mask is great. Fits a little slim so not for a very large man. Went nicely with my "Dark Queen".
