WoW latex Elf ears on Amazon

by Mike Schramm Sep 12th 2009 at 6:00PM

It's that time of year again -- I just saw a seasonal costume store opening up near my apartment here in Chicago, and that means that we're almost to October, when all kinds of official and unofficial Halloween costumes from all of the year's biggest brands appear. Last year we had some Orc masks and old-school armor and gear (and we may see some of that stuff again this year), but so far the only new thing we've seen is these latex ears, in Night Elf and Blood Elf style, over on Amazon. For just $12, you too can have inordinately large pointy ears, signifying that you're a magical creature from Azeroth.

Cheesy? Maybe so, but then again, that's pretty much what dressing up on Halloween is all about these days. If you happen to see any other Warcraft-related costumes during the season (either officially licensed by Blizzard or knocked-off by some shady costume designer), make sure to take a picture and send us a tip. And of course if you enjoy seeing real people dress up as fictional Warcraft characters, you'll love our pictures from BlizzCon. Enjoy.

Granted those look better than some of the "home-made" jobs I've seen...they still look pretty ridiculous and stupid IMO :(

The night elf model is perfect but the guy they got for the blood elf just creeps me out

Seriously. He looks like a caveman with hair extentions.

Seriously, they couldn't have gotten a hot guy? Us ladies like something to look at, too!

He looks like Silvermoon Harry in the pirate camp in Howling Fjord.

@CallMeIrd

I can send you some pics if you want?

He looks like Gary Busey in a wig.

I saw these posted on Kotaku months ago. Or last year.

My point is, it was a really long time ago.

you are so special! I will email you if i ever find something on the internet, since the fact that you have seen something makes it worthy of posting

In the original article it was said this was new, but in fact came out with the other items last year, which is what the above poster was trying to say. Same pictures on the package and on the official WoW site announcement (link) when the masks were released. Here's the link to the sellers website...

They DO have a new Illidian and Draenei mask out this year
