New superhero movies mean new costumes, and since The Avengers has a whole assortment of heroes, it means lots of new costumes. Costume Craze just announced the wide selection of heroes they’re bringing to life for you to wear starting this summer. They’ve got designs from the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man and The Avengers. You can be The Hulk, Hawkeye, Spidey, Loki, the Black Widow, and many more for adults and kids. You’ll be able to pre-order these soon, and they will ship in the summer.
Check out photos of the new costumes after the break.

A fascination with videoconferencing, especially with regard to eye contact and spatial awareness, inspired Dan Rosenfeld to create this “Big Head” costume for Halloween. An external LCD panel displays the wearer’s face in real time, while a camera feeds an internal monitor, revealing events taking place outside the box. This image is reflected off a half silvered mirror, allowing Dan to stare directly at the camera, while also giving him the ability to see what’s in front of him.
