Disney has a brand new hoodie inspired by the Mistress of All Evil, and they really went all out with the horns this time. The first Maleficent cosplay hoodie from Hot Topic had smaller horns and a more busy, classic Sleeping Beauty vibe. The new version leans a bit more towards the Angelina Jolie Maleficent costume.
The Maleficent Cosplay Hoodie is available to order here for $49.99 with free shipping in sizes S (US size 6) to XXL (US size 14). We highly suggest wearing it while you play as Maleficent in Disney’s popular Villainous board game. If you don’t already own it, now would be a good time to change that…

Disney’s Villainous from Wonder Forge was one of the hottest games released in 2018 – and for good reason. It allows you to take on the role of Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, Queen of Hearts, or Prince John in an attempt to pull off evil schemes. In other words, it’s a board game where you’re the Disney villain and are rewarded for doing villainous things.
Villainous is available via Walmart for $29.99 (25% off) with free pickup or free shipping on orders over $35, and via Amazon with free 2-day shipping if you’re a Prime member. This is only $2 off an all-time low, so take advantage of it while you can. Plus, Wonder Forge / Ravensburger announced a Wicked to the Core expansion at Toy Fair this past weekend. Wicked to the Core includes three new Villains including Hades, Dr. Facilier and the Evil Queen and can be pre-ordered now.
Here’s more info on how Villainous works…
As noted, you can take control of one of six Disney villains in the game. Each villain has their own storyline that’s based on the events of their movies – Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Robin Hood. Each villain also has their own board (their “realm” as it were), villain deck, fate deck, guide, and token. The fate deck includes heroes like Ariel, Aladdin, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Robin Hood, and Dormouse that can be used to thwart the villain’s plans.
Each turn, the player moves to one of four locations in their realm, then takes actions that correspond with that space. There are different actions associated with each space and players can take those actions in any order that they see fit. Villains draw cards from their villain deck, which helps them move closer to their objective. Heroes picked from the fate deck can impede the villain’s progress and players are encouraged to use these fate cards to foil the plans of their fellow players while simultaneously working to achieve their own goals. As the game tagline notes, “the worst takes it all”.
I own a copy of Disney Villainous and it’s fantastic. Each villain has their own strengths and weaknesses, so every playthrough will help you to refine your strategies for playing individual characters and thwarting others. It’s definitely one of those games that takes time to master.
