"I'm thrilled that through the expansion of our Adaptive
Roleplay collection, we can further connect our iconic franchises
with fans and families worldwide through thoughtful design that
allows everyone to take part in their favorite stories and
worlds—from Marvel Studios’ Black Panther to Star Wars: The
Mandalorian," said Stephanie Young, president of Consumer Products,
Games and Publishing. "With today's announcement, we're better able
to meet the needs of more of our Guests, and we're excited to see
this inspired collection continue to grow."
The costumes are designed with stretch fabric that opens in the
back for front entry only to allow for more accessible dressing.
The adaptive line is open in the rear and has longer length inseams
for wheelchair-friendly wear. The costumes also have flap openings
on the front center with self-stick fabric closure to accommodate
tube access. The wheelchair cover sets fit most standard
wheelchairs with 24-inch wheels and come with supportive plastic
piping pieces for added stability and long self-stick fabric strips
to help keep the pieces in place. It is advised that the wheelchair
is operated by a helper when the cover set is attached.
The 2021 Halloween assortment includes costumes inspired by
all-new releases like Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon and Marvel
Studios’ Wanda Vision, as well as Halloween classics like Hocus
Pocus, Haunted Mansion, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before
Christmas. Additionally, the lineup features all new clothing,
accessories, and decor featuring Disney’s notorious Villains
characters, Marvel’s elite heroes, and more.
