Ninja Fighter Costume - Child Costume - Black Medium (8-10) - 3.8 out of 5 stars from 10 customer reviews


A firm favorite
My 10 year-old son wanted a Ninja costume for Halloween, so after much effort I located this one, which was closest to his ideal. It was well made, although there were perhaps 14 pieces to the costume (balaclava, body suit, leatherette body armor, leggings and wrist guards), some of which required threading and knotting.

Looks REALLY cool... not made that great, also- no gloves
For a costume, this thing looks really neat. If your son is planning on wearing this for only a few hours on Halloween night, it's fantastic. Very dramatic, very sleek looking.

HOWEVER, there are some things you're going to want to keep in mind.

On Halloween night you may want to pack yourself an extra set of black laces just in case the ones that came in the package snap. Also keep in mind you'll be doing a lot of lacing every time your child wants to wear the costume as it isn't possible to put these on or take them off without them.

3- The black fabric is pretty thin. You might want to have your child wear a black turtleneck and/...

I ordered a size 12-14 and it fit perfectly - so it does indeed run a little small.

The "leather" parts really look good. The tunic has a bit of a metallic sheen that looks great under lights. The belt looked like it would be flimsy, but that Velcro held all night through trick-or-treating and many awesome ninja moves. All the "leather" pieces held their shapes well.

We just replaced all the super-cheap laces that came with the costume with basic black ones. They were much easier to lace and held up well. We could also just loosen the shin and wrist guards and slip them off without having to unlace/relace. Couldn't do that with the original laces. We also added our own gloves.

The actual suit and hood are made of very thin material - like most kids' costumes. He wore a...
