FEMALE KISS COSTUMES...NO PROBLEM!

Barry,

What can I say, you are absolutely the best. It is not every day you get to see a female Gene Simmons. My costume was stunning, fit like a glove and I was able to dance all night. I had over 500 pictures taken on Halloween evening and I ended up winning 2 costume contests – which easily paid for the costume. Your work is amazing and I am so glad I went through you and not the other so-called costume designers on the internet – that are cheap and complete rip off’s – you get what you pay for.

I will be purchasing more in the near future. A female destroyer costume – would be AWESOME…..

Again, thank you….

THE BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME

Hi Barry,

The arrival of my Gene Simmons costume and boots left everyone in awe when
they see it. The fit and finish is amazing, and your attention to detail is
awesome. Everyone who sees me is in awe. Every step of the way you
communicated by e-mail with me and the delivery time was exactly what you
promised. As with any internet purchase, there is some fear in forwarding
such a large amount of money in advance, but you were great to work with
from the first e-mail and phone calls right through to solving some
finishing touches. Thank you very much for providing me with a quality
outfit that I will have for many years to come. I have already won a
Halloween costume this year, and I am sure there will be many more to come.
Thank you very much.

HALLOWEEN TESTIMONIALS

For years I've tried to duplicate Gene Simmons costumes by making them out of fabric to painted hockey pads with card board spikes. then I found the ultimate web site "Kiss costumes and boots", Barry Carr, Barry is absolutely the best costume production maker I have seen. I bought the Destroyer costume and boots, they fit me great, right down to my size. If your looking to buy a Kiss costume for what ever reason buy them from Barry, He always kept me informed of what was going on and how production was coming. Thanks Barry I can stop waisting my money on making my costumes and have my very own best of the best Destroyer costume.

KEEP WATCHING FOR SONIC BOOM COSTUMES BECOMING AVAILABLE

TETIMONIALS FROM MEET & GREETS

Hi Barry,


Thank you again for the vest! I added some rhinestones to it and now it looks just as good if not better than the real thing! I was backstage at the Philly show and must have had my picture taken by 100 people.
I even had 3 roadies come up to me and say great show. They thought I was the real deal LOL! I look forward to purchasing more products in the future
cause you are the man!!

Take care +
Thanks again!

EVEN GENE SIMMONS WAS BLOWN AWAY BY MY WORK!!!!

I was one of the kids that was never satisfied with watching monster movies or reading comic books. I was the guy that wanted to "be" those characters. At an early age, Gene Simmons became my Superman, Batman and Spiderman all rolled into one. I remember trying to build those early costumes with cardboard, aluminum foil and duct tape. I nearly wound up in the hospital many times walking around with stacked 2X4's taped to my shoes. When KISS mounted the reunion tour in 1996, the magic was back. I wanted my very own "authentic" looking Gene costume and I was willing to pay to have it. I met a number of characters along the way. Some of them good and many bad ones. I have been cheated, lied to and most of the times never quite satisfied with the product.

I met Barry Carr on that journey. I had often read his claims of "I am the best," "second to none costumes," "no one can top this." Saying Barry is cocky would be putting it mildly. The thing that impressed me about him was his honest love for all things KISS. He knew his subject. He wasn't just walking the walk. I have owned several sets of Gene Simmons costume armor over the past decade. I have never been so impressed and amazed at the product Barry turned out. I knew as soon as I opened the box that I had finally stumbled upon something incredible. It was like looking at Gene's 1976 Destroyer armor in my own home. The attention to details, the spikes, the rivets and most importantly the killer paint job is second to none. He has the right to brag...because NOTHING comes close to this! If you "serious" about getting an authentic KISS costume, the search is over. I recently went backstage to the KISS show in Cleveland and had Gene Simmons autograph one of the arms from Barry's armor. Not only was Gene impressed but so was Spiro, who used to play Gene in a tribute band and is now working for KISS. Spiro kept asking me if that really was Gene's armor. I was so impressed with the armor that I hired Barry to rework my Destroyer boots. I'll let you know how that one goes. In the meantime, I can't say enough about my armor. Finally, I found what I was looking for and definitely worth the price!

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT MAKES IT'S....MINISTRY...PREMIERE

Barry:

The costume you made is awesome! Simply put, you are the best! It is off the chain! When I was looking for costuming for our production, I did my research and found Barry. Being a KISS fan since 1976, and was intrigued by Gene’s costumes. I am an ordained minister and have written a stage production in which I play the devil. I asked Barry if he could do the type of look I was wanting. He said yes! Together we came up with a unique look for me combining Destroyer, Love Gun, and Creatures of the Night.

It looks awesome and I am sure it will turn heads. Every time I look at all the pieces, I am amazed at the detail and quality workmanship. Barry took the time to listen and even made some suggestions to make me aware of some things so I would look my absolute best. So if you are looking, kicking the tires or window shopping, you need to stop looking and buy the best, not some cheap knock off, but the real deal. You will look as good if not better than the band themselves. If you are worried how it will fit you, don’t Barry is very specific on your measurements. My boots fit perfect and they conform to the bend in my leg not someone else’s. The belt, bodysuit and armor fits perfect as well. Again made for me, not some generic, one size fits most, but to my size.

Trust me you will not be disappointed I have made a life long friend in Barry and I am very grateful for his support.

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT AT LAST!

We have had many request for this...And we always meet the demands of the KISS ARMY!

ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL...PROOF WE ARE THE BEST!

If you want real Kiss costumes,we're talking just like walking into Ace's or any members closet
and grabbing what you really want, then don't wast your time or money anywhere else,contact
Barry Carr you will be amazed at his work.Barry listened to what I wanted and came up with
a better idea and I couldn't be happier,he was willing to work out a payment method that
worked great for me and my budget.I have seen Kiss cover bands that didn't have costumes this good.and by the way I don't get anything for saying all this about Barry but he made me this happy and I will buy more !!!

ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL...GUESS I GOTTA BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT HERE?

When i decided to invest in a Destroyer Gene costume, I researched and talked to many tribute bands, and the same name kept coming up, Barry Carr. I said before, this is an investment. Barry is a stickler for creating the most accurate costumes and this is no exception. Barry takes the time to talk to you, gets your information, and makes the costume to your specs... this is not an off the rack costume!!

The armour, belt, boots and leggings ARE the REAL DEAL!!

I think we all have seen the rest... now invest in the best in the business.

I just attended the 2nd largest parade in Indiana in July 2009, and the crowd ERUPTED when they saw me as Gene... the Demon had arrived! Women went nuts... the television announcers went crazy, and i was nearly rushed at one point. I would recommend and will purchase from Barry Carr again!! His knowledge and expirience are 2nd to NO ONE! This is his profession... not like others who build costumes part time and make crap and steal your money!!

Ministers/Preachers love this too!

The boots are off the chain, they are the best ones you have done to date! I cannot wait until the armor is ready. I have been walking around in them and amazingly they are comfortable and fit perfect! They are sheer perfection in every way; they fit better than my cowboy boots!

Simply put, you are the best. If anyone is thinking about it, Barry is the man to work with, he is upfront, honest, and he does not force his opinion on you, but takes time to listen to what you need. He will guide you step by step through the process and make sure you look your absolute best.

Every detail was taken into consideration, you will not be disappointed. Barry even gave me detailed instructions on how to walk in them which is a big help. It just goes to show that he will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy in every way possible.

Even though I am not Barry’s only customer, he treats me (and he will you) as if I were and you will have a friend in him. If you have researched and done your homework you have found cheaply made and sloppy expensive costumes, don’t be fooled you won’t get what you paid for with your hard earned money with the other guys. He has come through in a big way for me and he will for you too! If you are a KISS collector or you want to wear the “real deal” you need to call this man. In Barry you get the Bang for the Buck!

You have seen the rest, now buy from the best!
