Super Why Child Costume - 3.6 out of 5 stars from 59 customer reviews


Cute character, flimsy costume construction
My son loves Super Why! and asked for the costume for Halloween. We were unable to find the costume in the 8 different stores that I looked at, so we purchased it online.

1. The mask is not the same as the pictures. It is a piece of thin foam with eyes cut out and a piece of elastic on the back that is fastened by velcro on both sides. They eyes were also too far apart for my son and the mask does not stay on his face. The picture shows a mask that ties in the back and has a textured mask with large eye holes.

2. The costume is not hemmed well. It is coming unraveled at the neck and around the cape and the fabric is running. Strings are hanging off at the edges of the costume. The costume arrived this way.

3. The belt is another piece of cut out foam. The picture shows the belt buckle as overlaying the belt. The picture shows a yellow belt. The belt on the costume is gold.

It makes me very sad that it is made so poorly. I don't...

Better than I expected
I almost skipped this item on my 3 1/2 year-old son's Christmas list after reading the bad reviews here, but it was one of the top 2 things he asked for (this and a bicycle were all he talked about). I went ahead and ordered thinking that even if the costume didn't last, it would be worth the price just for him to open it on Christmas morning.

Well he did, and his sisters got the Princess Presto and Wonder Red costumes as well, and everyone was thrilled... including me!

I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in the package. It's not high-quality clothing by any means, but it is not nearly as flimsy as I feared. It's very similar to most of the other dress-up clothes my kids have (cheap synthetic knit fabric), and it is holding up just fine so far -- only a few days, but it's gotten a LOT of wear already. Might not hold up as well as a Halloween costume outdoors, but for indoor dress-up play it's great.

Typical Halloween Costume
My child and his friend from across the street were both Super Why for Halloween. They had a blast. The costume held up for the night and that's all that really mattered. My son played with it after Halloween and it quickly fell apart, but that's expect for a Halloween costume. The smile and giggles on Halloween were worth the price of the costume.
