I would, in fact, be surprised if you didn't know what they referred to by now; particularly seeing as how Microsoft just paid $2.5 billion to acquire Mojang; the maker of the world's most popular pixelated picture of perfection (aka Minecraft).
If your kids are anything like mine then Minecraft has managed to penetrate into their everyday life. What's more, as Halloween starts to creep ever closer, my son has begun focusing on finding the perfect Minecraft Halloween costume.
While it is certainly true that a Steve costume would make for a pretty impressive look this season, my son is more into the darker aspects of the game. He enjoys fighting spiders and shooting skeletons but what he really likes are the Enderman.
This dark and mysterious mob is certainly not one you should mess with. Of course,avoiding them is much more difficult than it may seem on the surface. Enderman act like spoiled little brats. All it really takes is to look at them to send them over the top.
After emitting an ear-splitting wail, they attack with a vengeance; never letting up until either you die or it does (which every comes first).
This officially licensed Enderman head is a perfect representation of this enigmatic mob.
Measuring approximately twelve inches of each size, this mask is perfect for kids as well as adults. It comes complete all decked out in dark gray and black pixelated portions offset with eerie eyes that almost seem to glow with anger.
Despite being constructed of simple cardboard you simply cannot go wrong with this mask.
Reasonably priced at less than $20, this Enderman head is worth twice as much by saving me the time and aggravation of having to try and cut, paste, and glue printed paper onto a porous surface.
I would rather spend the three hours it would take me to make this costume myself playing games with my kids; wouldn't you?
Minecraft Enderman Hoodie
Sure, the previously mentioned mask might work well for trick-or-treating around your neighborhood but it might not work as a costume your kids could wear to class. Many schools now have rules prohibiting anyone from wearing a mask while on campus.
As such, this Enderman hoodie may actually be more appropriate.
This eye-catching outfit features powerful purple Ender particles floating on a field of black. Glowing eyes dominate the top while a disguised zipper ensures that your child stays nice and warm.
I would probably pair this jacket with the Enderman moving company tee shirt and a pair of black, or dark colored, jeans.
