Pokemon Child's Deluxe Pikachu Costume - One Color - Medium - 3.4 out of 5 stars from 16 customer reviews


Cool
Bought this costume for my daughter - Fit great despite being baggy. I rolled up the sleeves and let the pants be baggy, at least it will last a few years. Pikachu is an awfully slender character and the costume gives enough room for big-boned people, which I disagree with. It is true that the tail is saggy, however this is a very warm costume and a godsend for people who live in cold climates. Who would dress up as a witch when the weatherman isn't 99 percent confident that there's no frost on Halloween? Competing Pikachu costumes on Amazon looks stupid. She tried it on and after about 10 minutes became second nature to wear for her. The material is an excellent quality and feels more like cotton than felt. Pikachu's hat fits toddlers to small adults. The eyes and rosy cheeks tilts skywards more than the given picture, but this is ok because my kid is short. People can still see your shirt from the back, so I recommend buying a shirt with a solid yellow color in the back...

Better than I expected, but, I didn't expect much
Pros

- Soft felt-like materials with a foam reinforced tail.
- Good shaping and coverage to give a mouse-like appearance.
- The hat is great, no face-coverage which can be a problem at many schools
- Overall design looks like an actual Pikachu, not some fake ripoff character.

Cons

- It sheds little yellow tufts of fuzz
- The back slit could use an extra piece of velcro or two. As it is, it hangs open and required a safety pin to keep it closed the way it should be.
- The tail flops around which is probably okay, but, the picture makes you think it might be more rigid than it is.

All in all, for a halloween costume that's likely to be worn 2-3 times ever, it was impressive. It may even last long enough to act as a dress-up play toy at home for a few weeks.

Poor Quality Pokemon Costume
I was disappointed in the quality of this costume. It looks cute in the picture but the tail does not stand up straight. Very baggy and loose too. Save your money and purchase something else.
