Who were the Vikings to begin with?

These seafarers were originally from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.  Then, during the Scandinavian expansion, which was around AD 800-1050, the Vikings spread around Europe all the way up to the North Atlantic.  This time was also called the Viking age.

The Vikings were not only raiders, although that is what they are primarily known for.  They were explorers and traders as well leaving behind a long legacy of family and place names that are commonly mentioned in traditions, folk talks, and among the local customs.

The Vikings originally believed and worshiped Thor and Odin.  However, through time, many have converted to Christianity which they eventually brought back to Scandinavia around the 10th century.

Striking Viking Costume

Seafarers have never been this sexy.  This Viking costume takes on a whole new look on the legendary Scandinavians.  Be simply irresistible in this thigh high dark brown mini.  The upper half has a corset feel to it as this skin tight dress has a yellow ribbon laced down the middle. It has faux fur lining on the neck line and on the leather looking drapes that come from the waist down to the knees.

For added details, accessories are also provided.  There are gold arm ties that you lace up from your wrist to your elbow.  For you legs, there are faux fur warmers up to your knee that are also laced in the same gold as the arm ties.  The Striking Viking Costume would not be complete without the signature helmet.  This matching head piece is of the same dark brown hue with gold horns at the side.

You do not need a weapon to be striking.  This look will do that all on its own.  But if you really want to go all out, then a plastic axe is preferred.  Slip on a pair of dark brown pumps and the whole ensemble is complete.

See the Vikings as never before with this Striking Viking Costume.  With this sexy yet strong number, you too will be worshiped by men, much like how Thor and Odin were.

So this costume is based on the movie that is set to come out this year (may apparently). It’s a blockbuster movie and it’s be released to get the blockbuster crowds in. And in this day and age, a blockbuster film means it will be shot in 3D.

The film is being directly by Kenneth Branagh which seems quite odd really as he is not really the type of guy to make action adventure, blockbuster type movies. He is best known for directing film adaptions of Shakespeare plays, most notably Hamlet.

However, in Shakespeare’s time, his plays were the action adventure, blockbuster equivalent so maybe Branagh will not struggle to make the movie. I’ll bet it’s slightly different to the normal superhero type film though.

The costume featured here consists of three pieces. There is the jumpsuit that covers the complete body. This replicated the body and leg armor that is worn by our hero. It has a 3D design, which means that it is not just a single colored piece of material but has detail in it to make it look like the wearer is really wearing body armor.

You also get a red cape that can be removed if that’s the way you roll. And the final piece is the winged helmet. This completely covers the head and looks pretty impressive.

One thing to note is that the all important hammer does not come with the costume. You have to get it separately which is a bit of a downer but it’s not that expensive and you don’t really need a hammer if push comes to shove.

This costume will be ideal for kids that are fascinated by the character, be it in the comic book form or more probably from the big screen. Or are interested in Viking costumes in general as part of their school studies or general reading. Little boys will be able to charge around the backyard dressed as Thor the Norse God of Thunder. It would make a great costume for Halloween or even a themed birthday party or some other get-together. If he has some buddies they could dress as other members of the Avengers and save mankind from the bad guys.

This Thor costume is loosely based on the Viking god that inspired both fear and awe with his mighty hammer (so it’s a Viking costume of sorts). The hammer could smash mountains according the legend so it must have been a pretty powerful hammer or there were some very weak mountains in Norse land.

Whether you believe the myths or not, this costume would look fine for Halloween or any fancy dress event. You are bound to get heaps of attention, especially if you carry a big hammer around !

The Thor Classic Costume

So this item (as pictured) is called the classic costume. For classic I guess you can read old. It is a version of the Thor costume before the new movie came out. Surprisingly, it looks very similar to the new fangled 3D costume. The colors are the same and the general style is very similar. I guess this is because they are both based on Thor from the Marvel comic book.

Both costumes have the red cape that you see in the comic books. They both have the unique type of  armor with the metal discs around the collar bone and hips. They also have a black brown color armor for the rest of the outfit.

The classic costume differs slightly from the new one in that there is no 3D detail on the black brown armor. And also the helmet is slightly different. It is a bit more subtle. The ear wings are smaller and the helmet just rests on the head rather than completely covering it.

In terms of what you get with this costume, the main item is like a jumpsuit that you wear. Added to that is the cape. It looks like you can’t detach the cape but I’m not sure about that. And of course you also get a helmet.

Like the other Thor Halloween costumes, you don’t get the iconic hammer. This would have to be purchased separately.

This costume is slightly cheaper than the new costume, even though both are heavily discounted at the moment.

Thor From The Marvel Comics

Thor first appeared as a Marvel comics character in 1962 in a one off edition. The character was well received to such an extent that he got a call up into the Avengers team. He’s been a hammer pounding member of the Avengers ever since.

The Avengers are a team of superheroes that seem to get contracted in and out of the team when needs must. Strangely enough Thor has been an ever present even when more well known superheroes like the Hulk and Ironman have been booted out. He must be doing something right. The aim of the avengers is to fight evil villains that have more power or strength than just one superhero. They’ve been busting the bad guys for close to 50 years now. What’s more a big screen adaption of their story is being made as we speak. I bet it’s made in 3D too.

There is bound to be a bit of renewed interest in Thor with the release of the movie this year based on the character. The movie is based on the Marvel comics version of Thor and not the traditional writings about him.

Like all these action adventure type movies coming out now, this one will have a 3 D version so that you can duck out the way as his hammer comes smashing down on the seat next to you. And, of course, for anyone that fantasizes about being the flame haired Norse god, there will also be a variety of Thor costumes too. In fact, you can get a Thor movie costume, a classic costume and even one for kids. This article will focus on the movie version.

More on the Thor Movie Costume

So this outfit is not a viking costume as such but it has a strong connection to the Vikings. Thor was one of their most well known gods and embodied the spirit that the viking culture. Or maybe it was the other way round. The Vikings sought to be more like Thor.

Thor was a warrior and the Viking culture was a warrior culture. They would sail around the North sea and attack villages and towns when they reached land. They even settled in many places, particularly in parts of Ireland and northern England. Not to mention Iceland and Greenland (although there was not much to conqueror when they landed in these places.)

Thor also means Thunder and this is a characteristic of Thor. Thunder would come from his hammer or from the sky when he was fighting. Thor’s hammer was supposed to be able to destroy mountains so it was a pretty fearsome weapon.

The Thor adult costume is a good replication of the costume worn in the movie. It consists of a jumpsuit that details the armor that Thor wears. The jumpsuit also looks slightly padded to give a muscular look to the torso part of the costume.

There is also a detachable red cape and an elaborate looking helmet. The helmet will really make the costume as it covers the head completely and has the winged earpieces for full effect.

One thing that should be pointed out is that this costume does not come with the hammer that you see in the picture. You have to purchase this separately. I guess you don’t really need the hammer when all is said and done but if you want to make a great first impression at the next fancy dress party or even Halloween then you probably should get it.

Things You Didn’t Know About Thor

Thursday is taken from Thors day

Thor used to get around in a chariot that was drawn by two goats

Thor had red hair and a beard as opposed to the blond hair that you might associate the character with.

Thor was married to Sif unlike in the new movie where she is just a companion and fighting buddy.

Thor is a mythical god, so I guess you can make up pretty much whatever you like about him, but the facts from above are taken from the Prose Edda which is a 13th century saga written in Iceland by Snorri Sturluson.

This Valhalla vixen costume would be an original and attractive costume for your next Halloween party.

It is inspired by the Valkyries of Norse mythology as they were interpreted in the Wagner opera by Der Ring des Nibelungen (actually 4 operas in the whole piece).

It actually looks more like a Valkyrie than the Valkyrie costume featured here in my opinion. However this is if you believe in Wagner’s interpretation.

Wagner’s interpretation stressed strong Germanic styles, like the braided blond hair  (which doesn’t come with the costume – you would either have to braid your own hair or get a wig). Also the headpiece which is like a winged crown that is reminiscent of contemporary pictures of Valkyries during Wagner’s time. The corset also has a German look to it much like a Fraulein serving at a beer festival.

However if you look at pictures of Valkyries by artists dating back hundreds of years you can see that these choosers of the Slain have evolved. They were initially horrible creatures that you might expect to meet when close to death. They have evolved into beautiful women over the years which is no bad thing I guess if you have just been killed in battle.

The Valkyrie ushered or guided the dead of battle to Valhalla, the Hall of the Slain. This was quite a good place apparently and was effectively the Norse version of Heaven. Although you had to be brave in battle to get to Valhalla which I guess sums up the precarious and fraught existence that people had in those times.

So the Valhalla vixen costume is a type of viking costume crossed with the outfit you might see in a Wagner opera. That’s quite a combination and is sure to make a great impression at a party.

Another thing that should also be noted about Valhalla and Valkyries is that once the heroes had made it to the Hall of the Slain they were served by the Valkyries. They could drink beer, carouse and generally act without a care in the world.

So you could say that the Valkyries might have two costumes. The first is the winged variety that she wears on the battle field and the second is her serving gear. I would say this costume is the one she might wear in Valhalla to do the serving. Hence the name Valhalla vixen costume.

The costume consists of a striking ivory colored dress, a black waist hugging corset bodice with gold ruffle trim and a sparkling metallic bust. Added to this is a sheer skirt overlay and elegant shoulder drapes. The finishing touch is the winged headpiece straight out of Norse mythology. Try the costume on for size this Halloween.

Halloween is just around the corner which means that you can bet it will be a busy holiday as children and their parents scramble to buy the best costumes. This year will be no different as there will be a rush to get the right outfits otherwise all the sizes could run out. To prevent this happening, it is definitely a good idea to buy everything you need ahead of time so you are well prepared for this event.
