Awesome costumes sale!

Costume collectors! Wake up!

Right now, on eBay, tons of amazing and recognizable original costumes from the series! This is a once in a life time chance, folks!

- CYANE'S FULL AMAZON COSTUME


   > Character: Cyane in S4 "Adventures in the Sin Trade (I&II)"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics, plus leather and beads.
   Papers: Turners Auctions COA plus costume tags.
   Seller: yeohman
   Price: $750 plus shipping (Worldwide)

   > Opinion: Victoria Pratt as Cyane trademark costume. Seller says it's a mix of Pratt's costume pieces and stunt doubles' pieces. The total is a complete costume, though. Relatively expensive, but a good opportunity for amazon lovers, and it ships worldwide (unlike the following articles).

- GABRIELLE'S SARI INDIA COSTUME


   > Character: Gabrielle in half S4.
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $100 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: I love Season 4 so much! Gabrielle's yellow sari costume is one of my favorites. It's a pity the top and skirt don't include the sash or the armbands, that would have been mind-blowing! Incredibly cheap for such an iconic costume, though it's not specified if it was worn by Renee herself or a stunt double. Seller says the costume has been stored since the 2002 auction.

- XENA'S INDIA COSTUME


   > Character: Xena in S4 "Between the Lines"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics. Faux jewelry.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $350 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: This costume is just so great. It appeared in only one episode (a great episode!), but it got stuck to my mind and I love it. I'm not into prop costumes, but if I were I'd buy this without blinking. Really really cool opportunity, and it includes pretty much everything seen on-screen: belt, necklace, armbands, gauntlets... Everything except the headband. Same as in the previous costume, it's not specified if it's Lucy's or a stunt, but due to it being used only once and also the amount of detail I'd say this was from Lucy. Color has me a bit confused, but I assume the lighter tone is caused by the flash or different lighting.

- ANNIE DAY'S XENA GROUPIE COSTUME


   > Character: Annie Day/Joxer in S4 "Deja Vu All Over Again"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics. Faux leather?
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $200 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: "Annie Bananie, she's so funny..." :) Annie Day's history might not be as popular as Melinda and Janice's adventures, but she was a funny character. The reincarnation and descendant? of Joxer the Mighty, with the face of our favorite Warrior Princess. The sale includes her whole costume, including the knitted vest, the armbands and the knee-guards.

- GABRIELLE'S HEALER COSTUME


   > Character: Gabrielle in S4 "Locked Up and Tied Down"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $100 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: This should be considered a piece of the costume, not the whole set. It does NOT include the necklaces or the belt full of pouches, that gave a cool feel to Gabrielle's disguise. However, it's a nice piece nonetheless. Same as before, stored since 2002.

- APHRODITE'S SEASON 5 COSTUME


   > Character: Aphrodite in S5 "Married with Fishsticks"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics. Leather? boots.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $150 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Who doesn't love Aphrodite? This costume was only briefly seen, and even if it's not very iconic it's very cool. It comes complete, and includes everything Alexandra Tydings was wearing in that scene (memorable fight with Discord), including the armbands Alexandra always donned to hide her arm tattoos. Nice detail.

- XENA'S CHINESE ROBE


   > Character: Xena in S3 "The Debt (I&II)"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $100 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: When evil Xena was rescued by Lao Ma, this was the purple costume given to her. It's missing the golden trim originally seen in the darker band around the neck. Not as cool as other costume pieces (my opinion), but very recognizable.

- JANICE COVINGTON'S COSTUME


   > Character: Janice Covington/Gabrielle in S2 "The Xena Scrolls"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $150 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Janice Covington was genius. An Indiana Jone's type future descendant/reincarnation of Gabrielle, as seen in "The Xena Scrolls". She rocked. It's a pity the sale doesn't include her hat and leather jacket, those would had been an amazing add.

- MELINDA PAPPAS' COSTUME


   > Character: Melinda Pappas/Xena in S2 "The Xena Scrolls"
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $250 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Melinda Pappas was hilarious! Lucy really made a great performance there, changing from her typical though girl acting to a naive and somewhat silly archeologists. Genius! The full costume (minus the hat) is listed. I'm sure they didn't make many of these, so almost one of a kind!

- JOXER'S TOP COSTUME PIECE


   > Character: Joxer.
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $75 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: it's not easy to see a Joxer costume, not even in pieces. This is the top piece worn under the armor. The COA says it's from the final episodes, so it has to be from Season 5. And it's only 75 bucks, folks!

- AUTOLYCUS' TWO PIECE COSTUME


   > Character: Autolycus.
   > Material: Mixed fabrics.
   Papers: It's a Wrap! COA.
   Seller: mploesch
   Price: $100 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Autolycus donned several different costumes, but this is one of his trademark vests in Xena Warrior Princess. Interesting piece.

    1. Hello Mathilde! I just sent you an e-mail. As I tell you there, if what you seek is an original costume from the series, I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I wish I had one too :) But if you look for a replica, that's a whole different issue. Let me know!
