Has anyone seen the Wicked Wings set from California Costumes? Just wondering how they hold up....they look really cool. I'd post a link but I'm a simple caveman...

Hey, I have seen both of these wings from Califrnia Costumes referred to as Wicked Wings.
I have these and they are good for the price. They are good as a costume or on a static prop. I wouldn't recommed them for an animated prop unless it is pretty slow. the first night my 3 year old was wearing them and running around being "Batman" he bent the wire frame quite easily. I would think that too much of this would leave the wire prone to breaking.

I can't comment on these wings other than to say I like the concept and the look.

Thats what I was thinking....love the concept of the bigger wings that open and close. Gears started turning on how to run with the idea for a Jeepers Creeper

Forgot to mention the little wings make that guy look like a douche.

I have an underworld theme with 2 devils built and two more to go this week-end. I had hoped to get the chestplate and wings but this version was discontinued 3 - 4 years ago in red. The wings are still available with a t-shirt. A grey version is still available with the latex chest plate.

I have seen them, and there have been posts previous years about them.

I think a big concern with the large opening wings was having the string that opens them snap and be unrepairable without ripping open the costume.

They look neat and I have considered buying them myself, but I don't want to drop $50 on something that breaks in the first year. ($50 was the original price I saw, I'm not sure what they sell for now).

There are posts on YouTube showing how to make movable wings. That way, you can use heavier material. Planning on making my own set.
