I do have to admit that these look pretty damn silly. The super heroines of comics has been well known to feature impossible body proportions that is not found in real life. So what do you do when you make costume themed pajamas for Marvel’s mightiest superheroines? Well, you get creative and design some of the most wacky pajamas I have ever seen. Spencer’s Gifts are currently offering five different pajama sets that include a tank top and shorts that are themed to the costumes of Emma Frost of the X-Men, Black Widow, American Dream (the female version of Captain America), Spider-Girl, and She-Hulk. I find it pretty odd that instead of just creating the top to look like the costume all around, the designer decided to just draw the signature big boobs and thin waist on the front of the shirt. Any open and blank areas are filled in with a themed background. I not sure about you, but even though these pictures are fun to look at, I’m am not sure what percentage of the general consumer fits these proportions. It’s a good idea, but terrible execution. I do like the Emma Frost pajamas though. You can pick these up at Spencer’s online shop for $24.99 each.

Ever wonder what it would be like if the ladies of Marvel ever worked as a stripper exotic dancer? (LMAO!) Look no further as costume designer/manufacturer Disguise (a division of Jakks Pacific), will be releasing a new costume line called “Women of Marvel Collection”. Considering Disguise has been known for more conservative character costumes in the past (including Fantastic Four and Iron Man), they are adding a bit of sex appeal (ya, cause sex sells right?) to attract a bit of an older audience.

Inspired by some of the most well known Marvel super heroes we have created a line of fashion forward costumes for women and girls who have the desire to be fun and playful for Halloween. Who says comic books are only for boys because with great power comes great style. Great to team up with a few of your fellow super heroines to save the world.

The first wave of “Women of Marvel” costumes will include Black Cat, Emma Frost, Spider-Girl (both classic and black versions), and American Dream of A-Next.

“We continually look for ways to broaden the awareness of and maximise the potential of the Marvel universe among all audiences, and the launch of the Women of Marvel collection addresses the growing demand across the female demographic with high quality, fashion forward merchandise featuring the most relevant Marvel brands,” said Paul Gitter, president of consumer products, North America for Marvel.

Steve Stanley, co-president of Disguise, added: “With the Women of Marvel collection, we created more than just a costume, we aimed to deliver a fun and magical experience with fashionable, stylised outfits that make women feel like they can truly save the world.”

All I know is if you’re going to be wearing one of these costumes on Halloween, don’t expect candy. You may be coming home with a bag full of single dollar bills. Hit the jump to see some of these sexy costumes!
