If you are thinking about having a GI Joe theme party this year, you will find that costumes based on nearly all of the characters are available.  Storm Shadow, the Doctor and Cobra Commander are among your options.

Party kits are also available with balloons, plates, cups, napkins, invitations, candles, streamers and everything that you’ll need to make your child’s dream day.  If “The Rise of Cobra” was one of his or her favorite movies of the year, you’ll be the real hero.

Maybe, you could dress as the Cobra Commander.  The costumes aren’t that expensive and it’s pretty much one size fits all with the Velcro jumpsuit.

If it’s Halloween-time where you are, you’ll want to make sure that you have all of the accessories to go along with your Cobra Commander and GI Joe Snake Eyes kids costume.  The basics are included in most packages.

For youngsters and adults, you can get the faux muscle chest, black jumpsuits and masks in a single package, but the accessories, such as the sword and boots are not included.

You can find black boots anywhere, but most children will be picky about the sword.  If they don’t have the right one, someone (probably one of their friends) will point it out.

The Snake Eyes’ sword seen in “Rise of the Cobra” is a silver blade with the classic red cobra insignia near the hilt.  The hilt or handle has holes in it.  No ideas about the purpose of those, but your kid may know.

Once you have the sword and the boots, the GI Joe Snake Eyes kids costume is complete.  But, you could add the combat vest and holster or the sheath for the sword.  A candy bag bearing a Snake Eyes’ scene from the movie might go over well, too.

As the official costumes and accessories are all Hasbro licensed products, you can expect to pay a little more than you would for a basic ghost or vampire outfit.  But, you can get a fair price for a GI Joe Snake Eyes kids costume online.  Order early, in case you need to make alterations.

The days of the plastic face masks, with the rubber band and no back are long gone.  If your boy is between 36 and 87 pounds in weight, he can fill the role of his favorite super-hero for less than you’ll probably pay for the DVD.

With plastic and polyester, specialty companies can make realistic looking helmets, weapons and chest pieces.  Remember to do a little shopping around, though.  Some of these companies seem to have tailored the outfit after the cartoon, rather than the latest movies.

If “Revenge of the Fallen” was your son’s favorite movie of the year, you will need to be selective.  Otherwise, he may be utterly dissatisfied with your choice and too embarrassed to walk out of the house.

The easiest way to shop and compare what’s available is to do it online.  You will also find that you get the best price on a Transformers Bumblebee boys costume from an online vendor.  It’s simply a matter of overhead.

Traditional companies need to cover their costs for rent and employees.  You might have to pay for gas and parking.  You could end up driving all over town to find that no one has the costumes in stock.  Transformer costumes are expected to be popular this year.

Some people worry about the costs of shipping.  But, many companies offer free standard shipping.  Even the speedy one-day shipping costs less than what you will probably spend on gas, just trying to find one, and it might not even be the right one.  What if you have to return it?

My recommendation is to order your Transformers Bumblebee boys costume online this year, as well as any other costumes that you might need.  I’ve done the comparative shopping and they just cost more at traditional stores.

Don’t forget to order the gloves, too.  Most of the costumes do not include them.  It’s not just a matter of completing the image.  If the Halloween festivities are held outdoors, the kids will need them to stay warm.

If you have the extra money, there is an “add-on” that you can get for a Transformers Bumblebee boys costume.  It’s a role playing helmet that includes a voice mixer.  So, not only will he look the part, he’ll sound it, too.

“The Dark Knight” has been the biggest blockbuster movie in years, grossing more than $522 million so far. So it’s no surprise that characters in “The Dark Knight” dominates the top 10 most popular Halloween costumes this year.

Whitney Wisdahl, manager of Dottie Mae’s costume store in Kansas City, said The Joker and Batman characters are two of the top picks this year.

“Anything that hits big in the movie theaters usually does great on Halloween,” Wisdahl said.

After consulting with several Halloween stores around the area and several Web sites, here is The Examiner’s Top 10 most popular costumes for the coming season.

10 Uncle Sam – or one of the candidates running for office, such as Sarah Palin, Barack Obama or John McCain

Perhaps one of the most important elections will take place Nov. 4, making this costume more popular than previous years.

9 Sexy dirty cop

Adult costume parties are rising in popularity and the sexy dirty cop costume should be a huge hit and turn heads. Don’t think you’ll have to worry about impersonating a cop here.

8 The red devil

This is a popular costume for women who want to be bad for at least one day a year.

7 Incredible Hulk

You can buy green foam muscles, unless of course you’re a professional bodybuilder. Then all you need is green paint and shredded jeans

6 Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Wishdahl said the Aqua Teen characters are popular and the store gets inquires about characters on the force. The teen force is a cartoon about three anthropomorphic fast food items, along with their next-door neighbor, and their life together in South Jersey.

5 Pirates

“Pirates area always a good seller each year,” Wishdahl said. They can range from costumes from Capt. Jack Sparrow to more elegant pirate outfits.

4 Indiana Jones

You don’t need much to dress up like Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. All you really need is a hat and brown jacket. Probably the most important is a whip, which makes you stand out from an average guy wearing a brown jacket to Indy himself. Again, the return of Indy in May makes this a top-5 costume.

3 Hannah Montana

The Barbie idea has always been a hit with girls and Hannah Montana is this year’s Barbie costume. Finding an adult sized Hannah costume could be a challenge. All you need is a blond wig, a microphone and tacky clothing and you got it.

2 Batman

The Dark Knight himself, played by Christian Bale, will be popular because of the movie. Clearly, however, good is not as popular as evil when it comes to Halloween. Any version of the numerous Batman characters are popular, Wisdahl said.

1 The Joker

The villain for “The Dark Knight” was creepy and disturbing. It’s popular because Heath Ledger, who played the character, died before the movie was released. His death adds mystery and intrigue to The Joker. “That is 100 percent for sure No. 1,” Wisdahl said. “We have been getting asked about it all summer long. It’s just been nonstop being asked for it.”
