Quotations
Co-founder of Morphsuits, Gregor Lawson commented:
“We knew as soon as the Nic Cage as Everyone Morphsuit was uploaded to the DIY Facebook album it was going to be popular, but with the latest surge in memes we didn’t expect it to be this sought after! We’ve made a limited number and expect them to sell out pretty fast and furiously.
Halloween has grown from £12m in 2001 to £300m in 2011, and research has shown that the three most popular areas to have seen spending skyrocket are confectionary, pumpkins and fancy dress costumes, and overall spending increased by 25% from 2011 to 2012. Utilising the popularity of this meme was a no brainer, people are becoming extremely creative with their outfits and we envisage lots of DIY Nic Cage outfits, we’re just glad some people can get their hands on a ready made one in time for the 31st!”
