You know DC's Ame-Comi figurines? Those anime-inspired reimagined designs of superheroines that are kind goofy, kinda sexy, and most be selling very well because DC has been making them for years now? Well, behold the official Ame-Comi costumes from Costume Craze:
That's Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Supergirl, all based directly of the Ame-Comi figures. Now, first things first -- these costumes look exceedingly well-made. I mean, significantly better than most costumes I see online. Why DC's Ame-Comi girls get this much quality and attention to detail and not, say, costumes of characters from major movies like G.I. Joe or Transformers is beyond me, but you can't say they aren't good-looking.
The second thing is thing: These are costumes... based on collector's figurines... of anime-inspired redesigns... of DC superheroines. That's fucking insane. Even if you don't like anime in general or the Ame-Comi stuff in particular, the fact that they're now available as costumes for people to buy and wear should blow your mind. It certainly does mine. Costumes, of statues, of anime versions, of comic book characters. It's a brave new nerd world we've just entered, ladies and gentlemen. To be honest, I'm as scared as I am excited.

I liked the costumes. But this does not seem to be the real life stuff.
-
:)
-
You're right, I wouldn't. In my case, though, it's because I'm afraid of what my wife would do to me...
-
And yet you guys won't have the courage to talk to them or keep from Mayonaising your pants like testofmanhood.
-
Interesting. I think with the crazy popularity of cosplay at anime and comic cons, the retail costume is becoming a standard part of the merchandising mix. And I suspect a search of eBay will soon find plentiful knock-offs of these from Asia.
-
Anyone got catwoman's number ? i could do with a little pussy to take care of.
-
Nice costumes. It's a shame they couldn't get a Wonder Woman model that actually has some muscle tone, or eats the occasional sammich.
-
nice!
-
With the exception of the ridiculous heels, I actually think the Wonder Woman design is quite good.
-
Agreed. And thanks for no one pouncing on my terrible spelling, in my defense I was both a little drunk, and typing on my ipod...
-
Couldn't be any worse than um Anne Hathaway as Catwoman? Baseball..cold showers...baseball..cold showers...MARGARET THATCHER NAKED ON A COLD DAY! MARGARET THATCHER NAKED ON A COLD DAY!
-
Yeaaaaahhh I'm starting to doubt you are are indeed "a girl".
-
I'll pass on Supergirl, Wonder Woman isn't bad and Catwoman is hot. They all can also loose the heels.
-
Derrr. I forgot to post the other slutty DC costume news I saw today. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/02/04/corsets-of-the-dc-universe/ I still don't get why they keep doing sexy female Robin. Never mind there are plenty of female DC characters that are not represented for this and other female clothing lines while this young male character is cross dressed as female. Ladies, if your man wants you to dress up as Robin for valentine's day, he might just be a closeted homosexual who actually likes doing young boys. Now if you're into stuff like cross dressing or pegging, fine, good for you. Yet don't act like Robin is some kinda straight man's vanilla fantasy. There's a rather weird undercurrent to it.
-
Hell yeah comic loving hooker! What's wrong with wanting to be sexy and show off your nerd? I know that a lot of what people bitch about are "posers" (I hate that term by the way) wearing the costumes just for attention, as opposed to actually liking the character. But that could be said for any costume, I dressed as slutty Dorothy one year and I don't even like the Wizard of Oz I just wanted sparkly red pumps and rufflebutt panties. So, as a comic loving nerd who likes to indulge in her inner tramp I will happily rock these outfits out! Just with better shoe choice...
-
I'm not one of them! As long as I stand still I look all vampy sexy pants, but the second I move it's like a drunk giraffe on stilts. If I were a superhero I'd rock out converse, if it's good enough for the Doctor it's good enough for me.
-
I thought so too! But surprisingly he said WW, so looks like I'm rocking the Amazon look this year. :)
-
Now THIS is how you make slutty nerd costumes. Actually based on figures designed by DC. What a concept! Though at least the sexy female Green Lantern I saw before was Arisia. Plus the Amin Comi dersigns, while still overly sexed up, sure look a hell of a lot better without the anime by way of American artists trying way too hard eyes.
-
Actually, I know girls who can do some pretty amazing things in high heels.
-
Well, if you want to get technical about it, most super heroes/villains would be much much taller in real life than the average human so wearing platforms for height purposes just makes sense. Platform shoes also create the illusion of elongated legs better. And please don't call them 'stripper shoes'; platform shoes have become a staple in the fashion industry. Look in any fashion magazine and 99% of the models will be wearing platform shoes.
-
Yeah but if it the wasp her fucking whore would drag her the fuck down. And bam she drowns in a puddle. All thanks to the fucking shoes. And if you or anyone wants to play that she can grow to normal size, this wasp that I'm thinking of in the fucking shoes would probably just forget about growing because she was clearly stupid enough to put on the shoes in the first damn place.
-
Don't hate; participate.
-
I just need to get my wife interested in dressing up as Catwoman and I'm good to go...
-
Please tell me the Catwoman costume will come with the accessories. I would totally wear it if it came with the nifty belts.
-
The (significant) difference is whether they can actually walk in them or not. Believe me, some women can walk smoothly and naturally in really high heels. That'll just about kill me any day.
-
Lol I suspect he'll go with the catwoman one ;)
-
I'm a little in love with the Ame-Comi figures. Mostly because sexy-girl-Robin makes me happy in my pants. And the Green Lantern Jade one is ridiculously adorable.
-
That's what i was thinking, but I have a weak spot for leather costumes. I've got the hair for the WW, but I'll wait to see what the boyfriend likes more and call it a day. I wish I had more occasions to wear these type of costumes, because I also want the sexy Darth Vader costume. Ah, the plight of the nerd girl, I love it. :)
-
Hatefully ugly shoes aside (which I'm going to assume are not included) those really are quite well made looking. I'm a little scared.
-
If you go with the WW costume, I'd say it's more likely that non-comics fans will know who you are. And it's just a better-looking costume IMO.
-
Catwoman.. leather.. weakness.. found.. must, not, stare.. too late!
-
SOLD! I'm so going to rock one of these for Halloween, but I can decide between Wonder Woman or Catwoman...
-
Y'know, it's funny...I never thought I could masturbate to a costume shop's website, but it turns out I was wrong! ....So VERY wrong.....
-
I have the Harley Quinn figure from this line, i saw it in a store and thought it looked interesting.
-
Well, you can pretty much assume that those ladies who can fly wouldn't spend much time on their feet anyway. And Catwomen could use her whip to flip around town anyway. I mean, other than standing, what other position could hot women in superhero costumes assume that would be worthwhile? *ahem*
-
Yeah, ass ugly shoes.
-
The fact that they're wearing stripper heels makes it way unattractive and ruins the costume. I don't understand why strippers and porn stars have to wear shoes that make them about 4 inches taller. They're so dumb (the shoes, not the people who take their clothes off for money).
-
All I know is the longer I stare at Catwoman, the Lewder this Ood wants to be...
-
I never warmed to the Ame-Comi line, despite being both into anime and superhero comics. I thought I would like them, then I saw the figures, and they just left me meh. These costumes are hideous. I also greatly prefer the Kotobukiya Bishoujo line for anime/superheroines mashup.
-
Whoa. She does kinda look like a RealDoll. I think it's the fake-looking hair and vacant look in her eyes.
-
I see what you're saying, but I feel like there are two main differences. These are more accurate to the source material, and the make of them is higher quality. They would probably still make you look like a hooker, though. A comic-loving hooker.
-
(A) You aren't watching porn if you're thinking this. (B) You're watching really boring porn if you're thinking this. (C) Are you sure (A) wasn't true? PS: Take the costume off and keep the boots on! *drool*
-
I fail to see how these costumes are any different from the "Sexy Superhero Halloween Costumes" that are constantly hammered on this site.
-
Cat woman's tail looks like it doubles as a.. anyhoo! I think the come hither look is her asking which device you'd want to be violated with first... left hand whip or right hand tail.
-
Also, the best joke is that the Supergirl outfit is less risque than Turner's re-design.
-
(... thinks about whether girlfriend would look good in costume...) (... thinks about consequences of asking girlfriend to wear costume on Halloween...) (... decides it's better to leave question unanswered, closes link....)
-
Agreed. If I were a superhero, I would only wear sensible, ankle-supporting combat boots. They're better for stomping on bad guys, anyway.
-
Um. Anybody else thinking Catwoman's tail might be designed for more than just decoration?
-
I like the Wonder WOman more as a costume than as a figurine. Dunno why.
-
The Wonder Woman costume is actually a pretty interesting redesign. Also, hot women! Alright!
-
Is that Camel-Cat-Toe Woman!
-
Now if Catwoman looks like that in the new Nolan Batman...
-
Who says hooves aren't hot? What about the Draenei race from World of Warcraft? =p
-
I'm only vaguely aware of Ame-Comi, but I would LOVE to have that catwoman costume. It's a little more revealing than I'd like, but parts of it would be perfect for the Catwoman costume I'm putting together. <3 ...not that I'm against clothes being revealing, I'd just be going for a more traditional look than that.
-
So: if somebody starts a comic based on the Ame-Comi figures, the recursive circle will be complete?
-
Gah, yet another reason to try to co-op geek culture. I don't care how hot the girl is, I never want to see slutty-hooker "haloween" costumes. LAME.
-
Now if I can only TRICK a chick into wearing the Wonder Woman or Catwoman one...
-
They ain't hot messes... they're just messes period.
-
released just in time for COmicCon vacation planning
-
Those damn heels make them look like porn stars.
-
Is it just me, or does the Supergirl model look like a RealDoll? Catwoman deserves a rrowr, though.
-
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The Catwoman ones look like she's got hooves.
-
indeed
-
Do women actually think those shoes look good? Do men? Seriously, I see porn stars wearing platform heels in scenes and I think to myself, "those things are really trashing up this movie of people fucking."
-
Never underestimate the appeal of slutty halloween costumes.
-
Now to find a modelesque girlfriend who will where this kind of hotness...
-
Second. Ame-Comi wasn't my cup of tea and prefer the designs from Kotobukiya's Bishoujo line. Honestly, I thought DC would shut down Ame-Comi after Koto began doing DC Bishoujo. Then again, the Catwoman is pretty hot.
-
I'm just thinking, fuck those shoes would just break my ankles. Like total -snap- "OMG I'M DYING, FUCK!" But yeah that's insane.
-
Also not really a fan of the anime figures,but seeing those designs on real(hot) women? I'm pretty sure if I saw that Catwoman at a Halloween party I wold turn into a Tex Avery wolf.
-
HELL AND YES
-
And my head just exploded, Scanners-style. I'm not fond of Ame-Comi.
