Have Guns Will Rent Costumes & Props

I used Have Guns Will Rent for several costume rentals. Read the other reviews for details about selection. This business has 3 warehouses full of props, costumes, gear, and decorations to make your themed parties a success. It’s not fancy; it’s dusty, musty, and fantastically hidden. If you get a tour from the owner, make sure to see the military costume selections, the coffins (with real bones) and the «torture chamber».

Keep this place in mind the next time you need fake muscles, an Elvis bouffant, or even a giant hamburger costume.
I recently rented a Santa Suit for a holiday party. I found them online, the price was right and they made the process easy. I was able to use the website to decide how fancy of a Santa I wanted. (It is important to note that the images on the website are probably coming from a third party, they are not necessarily of «the» actual piece you will be renting.) The suit I rented was close enough. My husband had to wear the suit because my original Santa bailed on me last minute. His only complaint was that the itchy beard made it difficult to drink his beer. (Fear not, he did not have to go without beer — he made do with a straw).
The staff was friendly and helpful during the pick-​up and drop-​off processes. I would certainly use them again.

Holy crap! This place is a beautiful nightmare if I’ve ever seen one.
Deep into KCK, this is more than simply a costume shop, and I was thoroughly impressed in my tour. I came in to browse random costumes, but was immediately taken aback by the sheer magnitude and variety of offerings. If this place doesn’t have what you want, it doesn’t exist. Where to start?
True to the name, this place has just a ridiculous selection of prop guns. Some are fake, but many are actually real guns that have been deactivated. With all types of firearms from all eras, I felt like I was in some secret backroom belonging to a separatist movement, and I mean that in the best way possible. Oh, and the same goes for swords, spears and anything else you could use to pretend to kill somebody onstage.
The costumes they have are pretty dang legit. Period clothing and uniforms in excellent condition. This isn’t a costume shop strictly for Halloween drunkenness, this is a place for when you REALLY need to look the part. I was astounded by the quality of costumes. They also have full mascot costumes! Like you’d see at football games! Man oh man, I would love to just play in that room for a while. And no, I’m not a furry.
There’s also the typical Halloween stuff, fake blood and crappy wigs and cheap decorations. But on top of that, there are just mountains of awesome props. It all seems incredibly disorganized, but the staff seem to know where everything is. I would LOVE to spend hours just digging through this place, as I think it might just be Kansas City’s best treasure hunt. Highly worth checking out.

This place was fun the first time around and I’ll stop by again for this year’s Halloween costume. They rent and sell costumes and have a big inventory. The employees really seem to enjoy what they do, they’ll help you put together a look for whatever strikes your mood. (From Star Wars to a walking banana) I rented a costume there and ordered the shoes online, then after the party I sold the shoes to Have Guns will Rent. (I wasn’t going to wear them again!)
