Disney Princess Merida Costumes

Disney Princess Merida costumes were recently released for sale. They are so cute! For those of you that don't know, Brave the movie is an upcoming Disney/Pixar movie due out this June. The heroine of the movie is Princess Merida.

I've written about the movie and Disney Princess Merida before. Click to learn more about the Pixar movie Brave.

I think this movie is going to be a hit. It is unusual to have a strong female lead in a Disney or Pixar film. The fact that Princess Merida is a skilled archer should appeal to fans of the Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen. I think a lot of little girls are going to want to dress up as Disney Princess Merida this Halloween.

The available costumes are quite beautiful, which appeals to any would be princess. For now, there doesn't seem to be any women's costumes available and I don't have any information on whether they will be. I think the Princess Merida character will mostly appeal to young girls, anyway.

Besides costumes, there is quite a bit of Disney Princess Merida merchandise available such as story books, dolls, coloring books, playsets, etc. Check out my main page on Brave the movie to see what is available.

Also available for purchase are bow and arrow sets inspired by Disney Princess Merida. The first bow shown includes the bow, the quiver, and four suction cup arrows. The second bow and arrow set comes with a bow, fabric quiver and three safety arrows.  This second bow seems like it might be better for smaller children. Both sets are rated for ages 3 and up.

Last, but not least, Princess Merida wigs, tiara, and shoes. The curly red wig is essential to carry off the costume. Merida has very striking hair and replicating it is the perfect touch! Add the tiara and beautiful shoes and your little princess is all set.
