This was my second time working with Barry and again, his knowledge of KISS costuming impressed me.
Since
I first bought my Destroyer-era armor, Barry has been there 100% of the
way with me – answering my questions and assisting me with maintenance
and repairs. After 2+ years of playing in KISSNation, I needed some
improvements to my armor which Barry was instrumental in designing and
implementing.
I’m also looking forward to our next project, a Love Gun/Alive II era Demon costume. More on that soon…
As I’ve said before, if you're looking for an authentic KISS costume and want the best - well you got it - Barry Carr!!

I make every era costume any member and here is SONIC BOOM
I never in 1 million years ever thought
I would get a KISS costume like this. I am not artistically talented
enough to make my own and after doing some research I came across
Barry Carr via facebook. I was a little hesitant because I could not
figure out how anyone could take this short, stocky guy (giving
myself a little slack) and make a Gene Simmons Demon costume that
didn’t look like a dime store knock off. I decided to contact Barry
and he responded quickly. We discussed my issues and decided Sonic
Boom era would be best. Barry sent me a huge list of measurements,
like I had never seen before, so I knew he was serious about his
craft. We also reviewed payment options, etc. prior to starting the
project. Barry was extremely knowledgeable and up front about his
policies. We spoke many time during the course of the costume,
unfortunately there were several delays but Barry notified about each
one and why, all of which were valid, I really enjoyed talking to him
he is a living KISS encyclopedia. Finally I got my costume in two
parts: first came the boots. WOW it was the coolest feeling to walk
in those, later the armor came. Unfortunately there was minor damage
due to shipping. I contacted Barry and the issue was immediately
rectified. He was also nice enough to tell me how to maintain the
costume. I was extremely pleased, no wait EXCITED LIKE A KISS ON
CHRISTMAS, when I put on the whole costume its AWESOME!!!! I felt
just like the Demon. Thank you Barry I hope my wife let me get
another costume soon!

Taking care of my customers above all!
I bought my Destroyer era costume from Barry about 2 year ago ... After a couple Halloweens it needed some touch ups..... Had a small crack on the breastplate. I spoke with Barry about this and he told me he could fix it up no problem ! In no time I had my armor back from him and it looks amazing !!! Barry is the King of KISS costumes !!!

Deen Castronovo our most recent customer and great friend and drummer for JOURNEY has proven to me.."DON'T STOP BELIEVING
Hey Barry,
"
I got Barry's info from a friend in Toronto... After seeing Barry's
work, I decided to purchase all 4 KISS Destroyer-era costumes, as well
as the Gene Simmons Monster costume, and all 4 Dynasty-era costumes for
my KISS shrine/office! Craftsmanship is incredible, and true to life.
It took a few months to get em, but were definitely worth the wait.
Thanks Barry!! Sincerely, Deen Castronovo "
Proof that I make a product that will last!
Barry,
Just want to say thank for a great job on my boots. They
are 4 years old now and still in great shape. Thanks also for telling me how do
touch ups to keep them looking new. I wear them often to some shows and such and
they hold up with no problems.
When I was looking for a pair of Destroyer boots I was
looking at a few people you stood out from the rest, and there were some people
saying some negative things about you so I figured you must be good if they are
taking time to do that. Bottom line is, they were wrong, I bought a great pair
of boots that are worth every dollar. Looking forward getting some new stuff
soon.
Cheers,
Glenn

MR.SPEED & BARRY CARR COMBINE FORCES TO ACHIEVE TOTAL GREATNESS
I wanted the best and I got it!
I chose to work with Barry again because it’s simple, he’s the best there is. I’m looking forward to working with Barry again to create the best and most accurate costumes out there. Let’s face it KISS knew to choose Mr. Speed and I choose Barry!
Barry will be working exclusively on my costume and will be rolling out a full line of Love Gun costumes in the future.
I’ve worked with many costumers in the past but I always come back to Barry because of his attention to detail and gracious customer service. I am proud to call Barry a friend.
You won’t believe your eyes!
