Anakin Skywalker Child Costume Size B002KMAT2A

Anakin Skywalker Child Costume Size Medium - 1.5 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Don't even want to give it one star - Don't buy from this vendor
This costume was a birthday present for my son.

The costume looks great but the material is incredibly flimsy.

Pair that with the HUGE belt that fit the FATHER of the size 8 boy it was supposed to have fit.

Needless to say, the belt - being very heavy and of a sticky rubbery material - just tore that flimsy costume to shreds within minutes.

I tried to call the vendor but they claim they're having phone trouble. I sent them an email and they asked for more info on September 30 and never got back to me.

I've notified Amazon and I'm returning the costume on Monday.

Guess we'll have to find one at Walmart.


Costume just okay, but seller met my needs
The costume has a difficult fit. The head hole is small and the pants very long. The belt is also very large. Customer service helped me with my issues. I shopped all over for this costume and this was the better price at the time.

The Wizard of Oz Premium Scarecrow Child - 4.5 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Exceeded expectations
The costume looks amazing and is of much better quality than I was expecting. It could easily be recycled over 5 years by different children.


Adorable and Warm!!
Adorable Scarecrow costume! And this is definitely a warm one! So if you live in a Northern state like me, your children will be plenty warm for Trick or Treat!

Light Weight Penguin Costume B001GDEQFU

Light Weight Penguin Costume - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 7 customer reviews


Cute costume
Costume is above average for a Halloween costume. It is easy to get on and off and has enough room for a coat underneath if it gets a lot colder (I did get the size bigger to accomadate for this). The fins have holes for their hands to come out and the shoe covers have a stap across the bottom to help keep them in place. The bill sticks strait out which makes it super cute.


Penguin costume
My son loves this costume. He wore it everywhere the days leading up to Halloween. He played and played in it and it didn't tear or snag. It looks adorable and cleans up easily. A child of any age could put the costume on by themselves, and the costume is roomy enough that you could layer underneath it in case the weather is cold.


Made a Hit
My French grandson loves this costume. He's really into penguins, and was excited to wear it. You helped me make points!

Green Lantern Child's Hal Jordan B004RZL86E

Green Lantern Child's Hal Jordan Costume - One Color - Small - 3.1 out of 5 stars from 23 customer reviews


Just ok.
We bought the mask, ring, and accessories somewhere else. When we opened the package and pulled out the ring and mask I laughed. Cheap! And for the Small 4-6 the mask is way too big! The costume itself is also on the big side but it's nice thick material. The light-up chest thing is pretty cool... A negative I feel I have to mention: Beware of the velcro touching any other part of the costume, it pulls, snags it and essentially ruins it. Kind of a bummer. In a matter of two days there are quite a few obvious spots. Also ended up just cutting the shoe covers off, they never laid quite right. Also, bought this somewhere else cheaper, just fyi


terrible quality!
the quality of this costume is really bad. My son wore it for a couple of hours and the costume is already falling apart. Not recommended!


Fits great but inner thigh is ripped
My 4 year old loves the suit but is very disappointed that it arrived ripped. I was going to return it but then I have to reship and wait for a replacement. I already waited 1 month for the suit so do not want to got through that wait again. I ordered the small and it fits him great.

Clifford Velour Children's Costume Size: B000HAO1OO

Clifford Velour Children's Costume Size: Small - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Great Clifford Costume!
This is a great costume! Our 3 year old loves to dress up in it and Wag her tail (which will really wag if she wiggles!) It is very warm and well made which will be helpful for our North Dakota climate for Halloween as it could easily be snowing. Our daughter is a tall 3 year old and we ordered a size 4/6 which is a bit roomy, but I wouldn't go smaller. It is perfect so that she can wear it now and will also have room to grow. We have received quite a few compliments on this costume already as she would wear it everywhere if we let her. I am happy with this purchase.


Great Costume!
My 3-year old girl LOVES this new Clifford costume! It is very well made and will keep her warm while trick-or-treating. My kid is in between a size 3T and 4T, and the size Small fits her with a little room to grow. The velour is very soft, and the collar around the neck is velcro, and there is plenty of room for it to be very comfortable.

Deluxe Blackbeard Costume - Large B005LXL1B8

Deluxe Blackbeard Costume - Large - 1.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Over priced and under quality
My 6 year old grandson asked for this as his "Santa" gift. After reading all of the reviews here, I ordered a large size 14 that is more like a size 6 or 8. Honestly, the quality is very poor. The jacket is thin and see through, with plastic lapels. The buckles are indeed thin plastic, and the belt is super tiny and may not fit his waist. The sash is short also, however there are dime sized pieces of velcro inside the jacket at neck and waist to which the sash attaches poorly. The hat has a small cap...I am trying to stretch it over a baseball cap as I write this review. I did not open the package containing the beard. He also owns a Peter Pan and a Jack Sparrow costume which is of very high quality that you would expect from Disney that his mom purchased at resale for less than $10. Shame on Disney for capitalizing on POTC by offering this shoddy product at an inflated price. Unless it goes on sale for $20 or less.....DO NOT BUY IT. Try children's resale stores or make your own...

Deluxe Fire Fighter Dress Up B0055EMLTY

Deluxe Fire Fighter Dress Up Costume Set - Small 4-6 - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 13 customer reviews


Not worth $30, let alone $60 - excellent customer service, though
Got this for my son for Halloween since he's big into firefighters at the moment. Figured that since it had an award for quality that it would be comparable to the $50 one I've seen as well. Especially since it was originally priced at $60.

Unfortunately, the material is the cheap, thin polyester-type stuff that tears easily and the patch was glued on, not sewed on (it fell off literally in the first 5 minutes my son was wearing it). Hopefully shouldn't be too big of a deal since I can hopefully sew it back on for him, but for $30, I expected better quality.

The item says it comes with an adjustable helmet, but I originally received only the costume without the helmet. In Dress Up America's defense, when I contacted them about the issue, they shipped a helmet immediately (not adjustable, though) at no extra charge.

It's not a horrible costume, but the award and the price lead you to believe it's a high quality costume. We'll be lucky if this lasts...


Don't get suckered into buying this...
I originally intended to buy the Aeromax fire fighter costume for my child, but could not find it anywhere in his size (4/6). This one caught my eye, and since the page stated it was "award winning" I thought this might be a suitable replacement. I was wrong.

First off, instead of being a durable cotton outfit (like the Aeromax) this one is made of a thin polyester material. Not too realistic looking. The "reflector" stripes are just brightly colored strips of polyester and have no reflective capability (as the Aeromax does). The embroidered patch was not sewn on but glued. My son managed to pull it off in about 30 minutes. And the helmet is not adjustable (as the web page states) but is a one-size-fits-all.

Obviously, I was very, very disappointed in this purchase. It's nowhere near worth the $30 they are charging. You'd probably find a similar outfit at some place like Target or Walmart for less than $10.

Buyer beware...


Firefighter costume
My son loves it the only disappointment was that it didn't include suspenders. It is good quality for the price

Forum Kids Uncle Sam July B003M1T0RI

Forum Kids Uncle Sam July 4th Patriotic Halloween Costume L - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Parade Perfect
We ordered this for my grandson to wear in our neighborhood 4th of July parade! He is nine and was so proud and excited to wear it! It was just perfect for the event! We put a little tissue paper in the top of the hat and it held its shape perfectly! The soft polyester fabric will be easy to store and reuse year after year.


no recommendation here
what a poor poor quality product...
the hat is made of felt but has no structure in it. So when you out it on it's a big no-no.
it's all polyester made, and doesn't reflect the cute Uncle Sam in the picture.
Regret buying this one.
No recommendation.

Not used as a toy...
This product was for my child's wax museum (school report). The costume arrived quickly and was just as advertised. However, if your child is tall, I would suggest ordering the next size larger.


Perfect.
It was a very cute outfit, well made and my son loved it. Got it fast too. Thank you! A+++


Best Halloween Costume Ever!
Excellent quality, light weight and true to size and easy to clean. Worth the $ because he will wear it past Halloween.

CHILD Medium 8-10 - Clifford The Big Red Dog DELUXE Costume - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Clifford Costume Rocks
This costume is plush, warm, and well-made. My 3 1/2 yr old loved it. I'm hoping she'll want to wear it next year, as she now states, because there's room to grow in it and it's beautiful.


Son loved it.
We purchased this for our 3 year old son when he said he wanted to be Clifford for Halloween. It is well made, kept him warm, and best of all, he wanted to wear it.


Very cute clifford costume
This is a very high quality costume that was very cute. Didn't seem to fit my 2 year old son as well as I hoped so I did return it and got a different costume. But it was very cute, and definitely good quality. Wished it would have fit him better.

Green Lantern Child's Deluxe Hal Jordan Costume with Muscle Chest - One Color - Small - 3.1 out of 5 stars from 20 customer reviews


Costume Too Big
I bought this for my tall 7 yr old who wears size 8 clothes. This costume was even too large for my 10 year old. I think it might fit me and I am a grown up. The return was not easy, and I had to pay shipping. Also, we could not figure out how to make the light turn on.


too big
the costume is fine, however I ordered the medium size 8-10, labeled for ages 5-7 and it is far too big-it almost fits me (I am 5ft 2in). The seller would not replace it without charging shipping charges again so I am very disappointed with their customer service


Sizing is wrong
The small size 4-6 could fit a much much larger child or small adult. Very disappointing to try on Christmas Day and find he can't possibly wear it.

My son adored it!
I wasn't expecting it to be as detailed as it was nor as sturdy!
It lasted all night and he has room to grow. I do want to mention it is true to size though.


Excellent Quality for the price!
I could not believe the quality and value when I recieved this costume. I was so impressed, that I now look for "Rubies" when I search for costumes for my kids. The jumpsuit was high quality, does not rip or snag. The "armor" is made of high quality foam and I can tell my son will get a lot of wear out of it. I was very pleased with this product and plan on ordering more costumes from Rubies in the future.

Disguise Boys 'Captain Jack Sparrow' B000I8Z996

Disguise Boys 'Captain Jack Sparrow' Halloween Costume, Multi, L - 2.9 out of 5 stars from 32 customer reviews


Jack Sparrow Halloween Costume
I really like the costume, it came with everything from the outfit, to the hair, hat and boot covers. I purchased this costume because it included everything for a reasonable price compared to everything else I found. However, I was disappointed in the quality-it is very thin material and a week later I found it at Wal-Mart for $12.95-the exact same brand and everything.


Order at least one size up
This is a licensed product made absolutely as cheaply as possible. The shirt is TINY. Ordered a medium (size 7-8) for my son who wears a size 6, thinking he could use it for a couple years. The shirt is so tiny it hits midway between chest and belly button. I'm not sure how to describe the plastic the belt buckles are made of... but it is so thin it is bendable - one of the buckles you could wad it up in your hand. Due to construction the costume is not washable so, unless your kid prefers the look of authentic pirate dirt and grime, this is a one-use costume. Even if you could wash it, it really wouldn't hold up much longer than one use anyway. It was a disappointment for us, beyond the size issue, because my son loves to dress in costumes and uses all in his collection many times over.


my 4 year old loves it
My four year old loves this costume. He had a very cheap pirate costume that ripped to shreds. This one is definitely better quality, but still not what I had hoped. His only complaint is that the belt buckles are made of very thin plastic and on the first day one of them ripped. I was able to glue it back together, but I'm not sure for how long. We bought the costume this month (June- as a reward) and he jumps all around sword fighting. He says he wants to wear it for Halloween and I think for the most part it should last until then.
He really loves this costume I just wish it was made a little stronger.

Adorable and Comfy!!
I bought these dinosaur jammies as a halloween costume, but I am also going to end up using them as pajamas, too!! They are well made and very comfortable. I am 5'6'', and the fit is baggy, especially around the middle. I thought the tail would sag, but it actually hangs quite nice and realistically! The shipping was really quick even though it comes all the way from Japan.


LOVE IT!!!!
My daughter absolutely loved this pajama. She wears it around the house and even talked about using it for halloween next year. We will see how it wears, especially the tail, but as of the first 20 nights working great!

Deluxe Anakin Skywalker Childs Costume B000JJGJ8Y

Deluxe Anakin Skywalker Childs Costume - 3.3 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Star Wars Anykin Skywalker
Boys love to dress up, so it will get worn over and over. Costume purchased for boy who wears a size 4 - this ran on the big side and belt would not fit him. The shirt is front heavy, so it kept pulling down and there wasn't a button on the back at the neck, so it was open allowing it to pull down in the front even farther. My youngest, who wears a size 4 got aggrivated, but my boy who wears a 6/7 loves it!


Nice costume...
but the belt smelled horribly. All the belts that have come with costumes lately are like this. The best was also very large and wouldn't fit around my small son. The rest of the costume however was well made and nice.


Good Value---Sizing a little off
This was a good value, but the sizing was a little off. The top was very small across the shoulders and the neck hole was small. The bottoms were fine, but the belt fit me (the mom) and I'm a size 8! I bought $2.99 self-stick velcro and made it work. He can use the belt and pants in the future, but not the shirt. Oh well, it worked for Halloween and my son loved it!

Harry Potter Deluxe Slytherin Robe B0015WU50M

Harry Potter Deluxe Slytherin Robe Child Costume, Large - 4.2 out of 5 stars from 16 customer reviews


Not good for July, better for Halloween
I wore this to the HP7 part 2 opening night and it was hot. The material is fleece and it gets super hot really fast. It would be awesome to have for Halloween, because Halloween night tends to be colder than a night in the middle of July.

The green on the inside is actually just two strips of fabric sewed in on one side only, and I thought they looked kind of dumb like that. I guess if you wanted to you could sew the other side down. There isn't a wand pocket, so I cut a tiny slit in the green part to fit my wand.

The Slytherin crest on the left side is like an iron on patch, so it is good quality, but when it's on the fleece it wants to curl itself up because the fleece isn't strong enough to hold it down. That wasn't a huge problem, just a tiny annoyance.

The little clasp-thing that is used to hold the robe on you is kind of complicated and difficult to use. Also, it comes off completely, so be sure you don't lose it!

Overall, I think...


Use for a Halloween Costume and LOVED IT!
It was warm, it was adorable and it was perfect for us! My sons went as Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy and these robes were perfect! They are easily washable as well. It came with a clasp to place on the robe to hold the top closed, however, we did not use it. If you've seen the movies, then you know that the official robes do not have any color on the inside of the hood. But I actually liked the green! It's obviously not an "official" Hogwart's robe, but it was definitely worth the money spent for my kid's costumes! They felt fantastic and we have amazing pictures to last us a lifetime!


Decent costume
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this robe was flannel (maybe I didn't read the description closely enough) and that the hood was pointed, like a wizard's hat.

On a negative note, I was also surprised to find that the inside of the robe was not fully lined; there is only about a 4-5 inch wide strip of green lining along each side of the opening. The hood is lined, which is nice, but for the price (which is rather expensive, considering it's just the robe with no accessories), they sure did skimp on some fabric.

Overall, a decent costume. It's a bummer it doesn't come with a tie or scarf, at least.

After I sent another e-mail, the return e-mail from Spookshop was slightly rude, stating that I would obviously get a refund if it was their fault.

Star Wars Boba Fett Deluxe B000UWFDR8

Star Wars Boba Fett Deluxe Child Costume (Small) - 3.4 out of 5 stars from 27 customer reviews


Not as pictured or described
I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of the costume, unfortunately we don't have time to replace this before the local kids' Halloween events.

The "molded" armor isn't molded. It's just flat. It's also completely different in shape/style from the image. The knee pieces are just flat orange chunks of thin foam, with a bit of 3-d molding, but they were not cut to shape like the parts that are shown in the picture.

Finally, the set we were sent was clearly packed inappropriately and the vinyl belt piece had fused to the armor and peeled off some of the color from it when I took it out of the package.


Loved by third grader!
My third grader absolutely loves this costume, as evidenced by the fact that we ordered in August and Halloween is in October. The helmet and armor on the costume make it seem much more real, and he's engaged in lots of pretend play and home movie making since its arrival. He is an average sized 8 year old (50% height) and the medium was a better fit than the large.


Not as pictured or described but quite different
The quality of the costume is mostly the same as similar Halloween costumes, so if you have purchased other costumes alike, you've know what I mean.

The real surprise is the fact that, despite of the pictures or what the description says, the molded armor parts ain't molded. They are made of a different color of fabric, to make a difference between the jumpsuit and the armor parts. The most notorious difference are the knee pieces. They are just flat rectangular foam stripes, not even remotely similar to those on the pictures. The molded parts on the arms are also flat, and not detailed at all like in the pics.

Honestly, for the same price, you can make your own custom costume. If you pay someone to make your own costume, probably you'll get better (and less expensive) results.

Tiny Boy's Costume, Medium, One B003H1LHA6

Tiny Boy's Costume, Medium, One Color - 3.9 out of 5 stars from 24 customer reviews


Tiny costume for a little *girl* who loves dinosaur train!
Our daughter LOVES dinosaur train, and was overjoyed to get this costume.
Overall, we're very pleased with it. We didn't have any problem with the sizing (given that we bought it for dress up)--our daughter is almost 40" tall and 37 pounds, and it fits her well. The construction of the wings is really clever. Our daughter loves that she can "flap" her wings. She is only two (if you are looking at sizing, note that she is a VERY tall two year old--see her dimensions above) so she was a bit confused about the headpiece. But once she got a look in the mirror, she got it. The material is a bit flimsy and "costumey", but again, because we were buying it for dress up, it didn't matter so much. It's durable enough for our purposes.

An irate aside: WHY IS THIS TOY LABELED FOR BOYS?! Girls can't dress up like a pterosaur? Tiny is even a female character! What the heck? This kind of needless toy gendering makes me seriously angry. I'm so glad she can't read yet!


Great Halloween Costume!
Our child loved this outfit so much that they wanted to wear is long after Halloween was over. People we visited loved the outfit.


A KEEPER!!
He loves it, and I do too. Best part is when he walks the tail wags back and forth. :) He's worn it regularly as pj's or just for playing. Not just for Halloween!

Jailbird Child Medium Costume B001TZS70A

Jailbird Child Medium Costume - 1.5 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Kind of lame for a convict costume
First of all, I am not familiar with convicts/prisoners wearing caps like the one provided. Even the ones who work in the kitchen are more likely to wear hair nets than a cap like the one provided. Secondly, the costume is made out of a very thin, silky material which is not really ideal for cool Halloween nights. We had to put running pants under my son's costume which took away from the outfit. The fact that it is silky and very new looking doesn't come across as very authentic for a prisoner's outfit. Due to the type of material used, it is not very durable especially because it would not wash well and if dried, would likely shrink. The inmate number tag that the costume comes with is made of paper and needs to be pinned on. Again, not very authentic. They could have sewn a patch on pretty inexpensively. All in all, the costume did the job, but I feel a little more time and effort could have been put into the quality of the costume even if it had to cost a little more...


Cute, but very cheap quality
My 9-year-old son wore this costume for Halloween. In addition to the shirt, pants and hat that come in the kit, we added "razor stubble" and a couple of scars to his face with black eye liner, plus he already had a pair of toy handcuffs which he wore on one wrist. He was the only prisoner we saw this year at both his school Halloween parade and when out trick-or-treating, so it was unique in that respect. However, he won't be wearing it again. The costume material is very poor quality. I thought it was made of nyon, but the information states polyester. The pants and shirt "ran" like nylons wherever the material was pulled/stretched, such as the thigh area, in between the shoulders, and arm seams. There wasn't really any way to repair it, so we pitched it at the end of the night. We've had cheap costumes before, but not any that couldn't be worn a second time. Would not recommend.

Deluxe Storm Trooper Kids Costume B000VRF93A

Deluxe Storm Trooper Kids Costume Size Large 12-14 - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Star Wars Storm Trooper
My boys love Star Wars, and love to dress up. So, they will get to wear this over and over and over. Mask was hard to see out of for night time trick or treating, but they wear it all the time during the day.


Great fun for the price.
I bought this for my Nephew who is a HUGE Star Wars fan. He loved it. Wore it for Halloween and for at least every day for a week after.

Haunted House Child's White Ninja B000WCYXAO

Haunted House Child's White Ninja Costume, Large - 3.3 out of 5 stars from 7 customer reviews


Great for Husky Kid
I bought this for the "husky" child in my family because of the limited availability of suitable costumes in the stores. This was a great choice. He felt confident and loved it... So much so he has kept it two years in a row as his Halloween costume!


okay
Pretty cheap. I washed it and the red design almost totally washed away. But I guess for the price what do you expect?


Yuck!
My Kids hated it! Very cheap looking and badly packaged. Pay extra for the better looking ninja outfit. It's for the kids

Elf (Velvet) Child Unisex Christmas B002XJ0XHQ

Elf (Velvet) Child Unisex Christmas Costume Size 4-6 Small - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Only if you're desperate.
The quality of this product is not very good. It is a Halloween costume. My five year old is very petite and the hat does not fit her head. The pants are large enough for her 17 year old sister. I ended up using the shoes only. We put a pair of her tennis shoes inside the shoes to make them sturdy or it would have been just as if she were walking in socks.

NCAA Iowa Hawkeyes Helmet and B003XQN852

NCAA Iowa Hawkeyes Helmet and Jersey Set - 4.3 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Just right!
The helmet and jersey were just right for the age range described. They seem to be very good "play" quality. The little guy who received this was thrilled!


Helmet held up, Shirt not so much.
My son obvious is a Hawkeye fan. Thought this would be fun for a 7-8 yr old. The helmet gets its wear... all over, inside, outside, and has been pretty sturdy. The shirt, well, that is another story. It started falling apart after maybe 2 washes. Ripped out in both arm pits. And it wasn't that my son was too big for it, he is just an average sized boy, the shirt was loose on him, but still unthreaded and fell apart. He still wears it for play, but nothing he can wear to school.


Great!
My son loves his football helmet. While the jersey is quite big on him, the helmet fits good (it's still kind of big - but he'll get a lot of use out of it!).

Marines Uniform - Child 7-10 Costume - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Great Costume
For the price, this costume is a great deal! It's definitely different than the myriad of Batmans, Spiderman's and Transformers. I have a child with Autism and finding a costume that doesn't require a mask or hood is very hard. This one still works even if he wont wear the hat.

California Costumes Evil Clown Costume, Large - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


clown
my son liked it that is what matters i dont have any thing else to say the size was good


Son Loved It!
My son who was 8 wanted this costume really bad. We chose to go up in size to 10-12 because the prior year we ordered his size and the costume was small. He's a 8-10 in clothes and this was a bit big. We made it work and it was a hit!


Fun but cheap
Bought this for my 12 year old for Halloween. The mask was too big but we made it work. The extras were cheap. The costume was fun but not worth the money paid.

Harry Potter Robe and Clasp B001O6WQOM

Harry Potter Robe and Clasp Costume (Sz:Small 4-6) - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


OK, consider the price
This robe serves a purpose of providing your Harry Potter enthusiast with an inexpensive robe. But don't expect anything special. It is a thin, nylon robe with an iron on vinyl crest. It's fine for my 5 year old though!

Little Adventures Red Superhero Cape/Costume B00417ZGVG

Little Adventures Red Superhero Cape/Costume for Boys size 3-8 + Coloring Book - 4.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Cape
Cute, well made and soft. Only problem is the tag which was a little hard to cut off, and the neck a little snug when worn. But very cute!


Grandchildren LOVE super hero capes
Great cape and nicely made. My grandchildren pay with it all the time. We have two capes and plan to order more.


Cute cape!
It's exactly as pictured! Before getting this I had made a cape for my five year-old daughter with ties but it was too narrow and heavy. This one is light and wraps around her so she can be much more dramatic. The only down side is that it slips down her back just enough that the velcro scratches her neck. If we're playing super heroes for an extended period of time she switches to the old cape because the velcro annoys her so much. When that happens I of course have to trade with her and the neck is child size so I get the pleasure of the velcro under more pressure. She does love it though, she uses it for super heroes and as a princess cloak.

Black Tuxedo - Small 4-6 B002EU26NS

Black Tuxedo - Small 4-6 - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Good costume for the price
This is a very nice costume for the money. The velcro with the all-in-one jacket/shiret/vest make this very easy for a child. The bow tie was the only glued on and came off with a touch but that was the only thing negative. True to size, fit well.


Decent
Proportions seem off, like it was made for a wide short child but the quality was ok. After grandma hemmed it was fine.

Child Ghostbusters Costume B0018SIM7G

Child Ghostbusters Costume - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviews


Who You Gonna Call?
The only Ghost Buster costume on the market that I could find. Therefore we purchased the item. The quality is poor. The material is thin and somewhat see through. The zipper feels as if it is going to break on every pull (lots of resistance). That being said, the costume did the job. The inflatables are of cheap quality as well but completes the costume. Sizing runs Very Small.


good service
good service. accidently ordered two and returned and received credit very quickly
Thank you


Very Poorly and Cheaply Constructed
I purchased this item for my 7 year old son's birthday. It arrived within specified time frame and we did not fully inspect the contents of package before wrapping and giving this item to our son. Costume is made of cheap material and was torn on the leg out of package. The proton pack and blaster are both inflatables and the gun had multiple air leaks and would not hold air. As 7 year old do not understand return policies and the amount of time it would take I decided not to return item and made alterations so he could still get his use out of this item. Also, I had no faith a replacement would be of better quality. This costume would be good for single use only, not for playing dress up if you happen to receive one without defects. I completely regret purchase.
