Hellboy Full Cut Mens Adult B002R3WVJQ

Hellboy Full Cut Mens Adult Size Costume, Plus Size (Fits 46-52 Jacket Size) - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Interesting, but far from perfect costume
I work on a cruise ship that carries some 6000 people, out of which some 1400 is crew. Most of us does anything between 4-8 months per contract and trust me, after some time, you really need to vent some steam. Thus, back deck parties.

For the record, whatever party you've been on, trust me, it can't hold a candle to crew parties.

Anyway, this one was organized by my dept and I decided to go as...(drumroll)...HELLBOY! Topic was SUPERHEROES AND SUPERVILLAINS so Hellboy fit perfectly.

I went with this costume as it looked quite good on the photo. Oh boy, was I disappointed. Well, not entirely, but...

OK, lets start with PROs:

+ Officially licensed product (hmmmm...)

+ Doesn't look half-bad, once you put it on

+ Headpiece is actually of very good quality, although it tends to get hot under it. Maybe if you actually have hair is different, but I'm bald and trust me, after 2 hours even in a/c area I was sweating...


A lot of defects with the manufacture
The inside layer on the jacket was stitched the wrong way and I had to get it fixed in order to fit my arms. Also, stitches around the jacket were coming loose and the Red Punch looks very cheap.....and no Tail! I feel very disappointed. Since there's no other descent costume around, I'll just have to do my best with it.


Read description carefully before buying.
Luckily for me I had no plans to use the hand that came with this costume. I bought it strictly for the coat. The coat is a vinyl jacket, thin, but with a little bit of airbrushing can look much better. The hand that comes with the cosutme is not really a hand. It is a piece of foam, painted red that attaches to your arm with elastic bands. Very cheap and cheesy looking.

Grand Heritage Edward Scissorhands Adult B001G6KACU

Grand Heritage Edward Scissorhands Adult - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Wonderful Costume, Some Adjustments Necessary
I just purchased this costume for my husband two weeks ago in preparation for Halloween, and must say it looks absolutely wonderful!

The costume comes with just about everything you see on the display image:

- plastic scissor-hands/gloves
- wig
- jacket
- pants/belt
- accessories
- even a make-up kit for that pasty/pale appearance!

One small hitch though is that it did >not< come with boots, but that is not a big deal as we had an old pair of black boots anyway. The adult size is a bit large for my husband (he's 5'7) - but again, is not too big a deal if you're willing to bend some seams and tie some of the corners down with bobby pins (they actually blend in with the costume nicely anyway). The quality is also very high, worth the 160$ price-tag, and seems very well put together. Overall we are very excited for Halloween, and this is easily one of the best costumes we've ever purchased - if you like Edward Scissorhands and...

Napoleon Adult Costume Size Standard B002HP8P3A

Napoleon Adult Costume Size Standard - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


Terrible customer service
I ordered this hoping it would come in time for a costume party and it did not. On Amazon I was able to follow the process for returns, paid more than $6 to ship it back and they refused the return. They only offer returns if it's due to a wrong item shipped or defective item. Point for shopping in-store I guess, and big negative points for this company and their policies.

It's called a 'seasonal' item, even if you're buying a costume in February? People don't just get dressed up on Halloween and even so I should have been stopped in the returns process if I was just going to get this crappy costume (went to a shop and wore an amazing costume that wouldn't have even begun to fit in the flimsy box this came in, let alone the hat).

Very disappointed.


Didn't come with pants
Ordered for my roommate and its soppose to come with the white pants but it didn't.too close to Halloween to return so had to compramise


Great costume!
The pants were a bit big around and transparent so my fiance wore pants underneath and tucked the costume pants into them (since there was no drawstring or belt loops). Depending on your height they will most likely be a bit long because they fit him just right... I believe his pant size is 32 X 36 (could be off on the inseem, he is 6'2" in total). We bought shoe cover boot look a likes in addition to what was provided and thank goodness! The shoes in this package give you feux elephantitis! Beware if you wear an XL hat because my fiance's L fitting barely made the cut.

The costume held up well with a fairly inebriated night, going to sleep on the sidewalk and some excessive dancing. A true Napoleon experience for Halloween!

Toga Adult Plus Costume (X-Large) B003Y8FL2C

Toga Adult Plus Costume (X-Large) - 1.8 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Got my husband to wear it.
We were invited to a toga birthday party and I thought I'd never get my husband to wear a costume. He wore it. I put him in a white t-shirt and white boxes underneath because otherwise it would be semi see-through. It worked well and looked festive. My husband is a size large dress shirt and size 34-36/34 pants and this fit him great even with the under clothes.


THE WORST
I am 6'3 220... This was WAY to big... Its totally see through. The quality was horrible... I wasn't expecting much as it is a toga party... This item was beyond horrible. DO NOT PURCHASE!


Terrible Quality
This toga was COMPLETELY see through. 100% transparent. It is not cotton. It is a very thin nylon material.

Adult White Pirate Shirt Costume B000WDZ8GQ

Adult White Pirate Shirt Costume - Adult Std. - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Yaaarrrrr, this be a nice shirt!
I was looking for a shirt that could be used for multiple costumes - pirate, Renaissance, etc. This fits my need nicely. It's a very thin weight, so I'll need to wear something underneath it like a long-sleeve t-shirt (otherwise you can see skintone through it). But it seems sturdy enough for several wears and the price was reasonable.

Poor Costume with Great Accessories
Unless you have very narrow shoulders, I cannot recommend this costume. I bought the largest size. I consider myself to be a fit male of average build and there is no way on Earth I could squeeze into the costume.

The costume does come with some excellent accessories. I loved the sash and scarf.

Fun World Costumes Men's Got B0027VT6FK

Fun World Costumes Men's Got Busted Penitentiary-Plus, Orange, One Size - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Decent costume
The one I received was slightly different than the one in the picture. Mine had a collar, full length sleeves, plus it says "Got Busted Penitentiary" on the back (which wasn't a big issue). The material is fairly strong and the sizing was plenty roomy/comfortable (I'm 5'10" - 200lbs). The only issue was the zipper in the front broke off within 2 minutes. I had to use safety pins to hold it together (or else the whole front hangs open from the waist up). Regardless, I'm happy with it because of the price ($20).


Actually a plus size
This costume was cheap and held up just fine even after 2 Washings. It actually fit great with room and I am 250lbs.


Cool Jump suit
I used this jump suit for a film a made. The only problem is it rips easy, but I knew that when I was purchasing it.
It appeared very realistic on camera.

Flintstones Barney Rubble Adult X-Large B002MMQDFA

Flintstones Barney Rubble Adult X-Large Costume - 2.5 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Good Costume
The costume is absolutely adorable. The feet velcro over the shoe and are flimsier than I would have guessed, the collar and cuffs do not quite puff up the way the picture shows, and the wig needs a lot of work to look right, but the costume is still better than many I've seen and looks just like Barney Rubble.

I bought the Fred, Wilma, and Betty costumes and they are also adorable. Very similar to the pictures shown and the fabric is better than the fabric on the less expensive costumes. Well worth a little extra money.


I can't even explain how bad this stupid thing was
It was made with such cheap material and really looks nothing like the picture. Save yourself the money and buy something else.

California Costumes Bone Wings,Black/White,One Size B003IC4UIK

California Costumes Bone Wings,Black/White,One Size - 3.5 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


These Wings Pinch, Very Bad Design
The back of these wings have a hinge on them so they can "flap". Unfortunately, the hinge pinches your skin when wearing the wings, giving you a huge blood blister. Very poor design. Do not recommend this product.


Awesome
the wings are very nice. adjustable fit and bendable but strong wiring. For those who are wondering, these are flappable wings so the sides have no wiring.


Great Costume
Used for a performance (dressed as a dragon complete with mask). Great, sturdy wings. Pinched a little around the shoulders but good if using for a short while. Will wear again for a costume party.

Mediocre at beat
The costume is very cheaply made. With this being said when you wear it, it looks a lot nicer than it actually is. It is very thin material that is somewhat see-through. Also, I ordered a large and they sent me an XL which was kind of annoying. Overall I gave this product 3 stars because it looks good on despite the poor quality material used to make this costume.

Santa Claus Suit (Imperial Plush) B001NEMXF2

Santa Claus Suit (Imperial Plush) Christmas Costume Size Standard - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Good enough, but not what I had hoped for
I really scrutinized over the this purchase trying to get the best looking suit I could find. In the end, it wasn't amazing looking but it didn't look bad either. The boot covers actaully worked pretty well. The belt is pretty flimsy and there isn't a loop to get the excess. You will need to either buy another belt or make a loop with something. Also, the fabric on the suit is plush. It came wrinkled and can't be ironed. You should hang it up as soon as you get it and not keep it in the bag. I also think the darker burgundy color might have helped it look better/more expensive.

Penguin Costume Adult B003AOYSBA

Penguin Costume Adult - 4.8 out of 5 stars from 14 customer reviews


Penguin Lightweight Adult Costume
Fast shipping. This is a great costume for Halloween. It's exactly as described. I would recommend this costume for men rather than women because of the length unless you are on the taller side for a women.

Very pleased with the costume being lightweight.


Huge party hit
I wore this for my son's sixth birthday party, as a surprise. He really likes penguins.

It was a HUGE hit. With the kids, with their parents, with my wife, etc. If I had only known how much mileage I could get out of a goofy costume!

The costume itself is well made. I doubt it will last for many wearings, but if you find yourself wearing a penguin costume that much, you have other issues.

The yellow feet, which are made from a foam-backed cloth and are worn over your shoes or socks, really make the costume. The eyes and the red bow tie are nice touches.

The wings have holes for your hands, if you need them for dexterity. I made pancakes while wearing the costume, without burning the costume or the pancakes.

I'm looking forward to the next chance I get to wear this thing. Halloween is too far away.


SWEEET
it was pretty sweeet. i fully recommend this for anyone. i even signed a few autographs while in this costume. And spending a day in this really teaches you to appreciate your thumbs

I was very happy with this costume. It is well made and cute and very affordably priced. My co-worker and I dressed as elves for the client Christmas party and we were the hit of the party. I look forward to wearing it again next year!


This is good product!
The material used is a little light but good and should hold up for the Holidays well for the price.

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE
I was a bit worried about the outfit because it was cheaper than other places, but I received it and I loved everything in it. The Jacket was excellent. The pants were comfortable and were excellent to Gangnam Style in. I don't like two minor details. First of all, the color on the shirt was really short. It almost didn't cover up the bowtie around the collar. The second, bowtie is a bit on the big side. Other than that, the outfit is excellent and I'm satisfied.

Great quality!
I bought this for my son who had to dress up as General Robert E Lee - the beard received MANY compliments (and chuckles). Great quality. I did have to also use double-sided tape to make sure it stayed on.


Great costume beard
If you need a beard for a costume because yours isn't grown in quick enough go this route. Lots and lots of compliments and yes, it does look fake and yes, you'll fool no one, it's a costume!


Exactly as described.
The beard is of good quality and looks great, however the glue that comes included is cheap and i suggest another method of having it stay on like we did.

California Costumes Men's Baron Von B003IBYAPE

California Costumes Men's Baron Von Bloodshed Costume, Black/Grey,X-Large - 4.5 out of 5 stars from 14 customer reviews


Not what I expected.
Please read the product full description before ordering. I bought this with the idea of using it in a photo shoot. I was expecting from the image something a lot more substantial and darker. When I pulled it out of the package I realized immediately that it would not work for what I want; that my flashes would show right through the material and not silhouette the outfit like I want. As a costume for a party it would probably work great. I am in the process of returning the product at this time. I did receive the item quickly and on time.

I gave the item four stars because it does seem to be a good product and I felt it did not deserve a lower rating just because it did not fit my expectations.


good costume, plan ahead
The costume looks great, and fit my husband well. We got a large and he's 5'8 and 170 lbs. The coat touched the ground on him, but that was no big deal. Just make sure you don't wait until the last minute to get ready as you have to lace the whole thing yourself which takes a lot of time (it took the two of us about 45 minutes to do it all) especially since the laces are a loosely knit string. If we would have thought of it we could have taped them to help which would have saved some time.


Mediocre Costume
Don't be fooled by the picture. On the picture the costume looks as if it was made out of thick heavy material, leather even. It is not. The costume is made out of paper-thin polyester. The gray strip on a side of the costume is made out of gauze-like net. All of it seems like it is about to rip if you pull it accidentally.

I don't know what they did to the picture, but, in reality, the whole thing hangs on you like a negligee nightgown meant for the kinky honeymoon night. I was aiming for the "nightmarish thug' but ended up looking like an "ambiguous Goth boy". 60 dollars for THAT?!!!!!!!

Very disappointing.

This was a great costume. Definatley was well liked at our Halloween party. They need to make an xtra large size available, large seemed a bit tight. The only draw backs were one: It is very hot to wear, you will find yourself sweating if indoors. 2nd, was dissapointed that the shoulder pads did not inflate. So I had to slice them open and fill them with napkins. Other then that it was a fun costume and recieved a lot of praise from others

Hi! I'm Jenna, aged seventeen. I got this costume for a gift-wrapping thing that my school's doing to raise money for prom. I can't wrap gifts, so I offered to pass out fliers around the mall to advertise the day of-- dressed as a toy robot!

The costume isn't here just yet, but while I was browsing robot costumes, this one was exactly the image I had in mind. Other robot costumes here are "sexy" or are more android-themed.

I have talked to other people who got the same Retro Robot Costume (or Rasta Imposta's "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" costumes) and I've heard nothing but good things! It's a cute, kid-friendly outfit and I got it for only forty bucks. Not bad, considering that it was close to two hundred before!

Paper Magic Endless Options Costume, B005DAM776

Paper Magic Endless Options Costume, Brown, One Size - 2.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Great Robe - No Real Hood
I almost kept this robe after ordering it, but...

PROS: It's fitted (so it's not baggy), it's a great length (I'm 5'6", and it goes just to the tops of my shoes perfectly), it's lightweight and breathable.

CONS: Instead of having a fixed hood, it comes with a "Versatile Sash" that can be worn as a hood, cape or sash. The problem is, when wearing it as any or all of these (especially the hood), as it's not attached, it constantly slips.

I wanted a hooded cape that would stay that way, so I plan to return it in search of another complete piece.

This is probably one of the worst Marine costumes of all time. This doesn't even represent the uniform in the least. The manufacturer of this costume should stop producing it ASAP.

I only bumped up my grading to 2 stars because of the hat. It takes an incredibly creative mind to see a Marine cover and think, "No. It needs to be more insane and ridiculous." And then he went for it. God bless you, anonymous costume designer. Your bold design is a proud middle finger to the establishment.

Cheap does not even begin to describe this costume. It does not look anything like the picture. So not worth the money. The molded plastic had holes in it and the entire costume looked like it had been previously used. We will be returning this item. Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its all about torso length
Despite reviewing the sizing chart, this costume doesn't fit. We ordered the standard. Torso length (from shoulder to crotch) is approx 29 inches. There's nothing we can do to get hubby to fit. We are returning it for the xl and hope we have better luck. Quality is comparable to the kids deluxe costume from Rubies....stretch polyester one-sie, opening and velco at the back. The "armor" is a molded rubber that is sewn on top of the polyester suit. If it fits, it will be great.


Great
Great product, great condition, didn't expected to be as nice as it is. Took a little long on the delivery part but when it aqrrive it was a hit.

Great buy but picture is not entirely accurate...
Be advised on your purchase: They do not have drawstrings. The picture shows them having it but all you have is a strong elastic waist band. It's fine for me though. I am 5'10'' athletic build and they come all the way down to my ankles. The fabric is thick but not super coarse so I may primarily be using it to express my hippy fashion in cooler temps. Overall, a great buy but remember they come from Thailand and Singapore so it will take 3-4 weeks to get them. Patience is a virtue.

Best costume ever! Everyone loved it. Wish my friends were dressed like ghostbusters, it would've made things much more interesting.


Fun but not worth the money.
This costume was fun for the short time it was worn. I ordered it for a Halloween contest at work where after about an hour and a half, the fan's motor just stopped. I thought it was the batteries even though they were also new. After replacing the batteries, the motor died altogether. Also, the zipper broke off in the midst of it all. Suffice to say, we stuffed the suit with clear plastic bags just to get the look. It was fun while it lasted but it wasn't worth the money.

Forum Medieval Mercenary Deluxe Costume, Brown/Purple, Standard - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


fabric is very thin and scratchy
The costume came very promptly which was great. But I was a little disapointed that the shirt and jerkin were made out of a material that I could not identify that was almost see thru and was very scratchy even after washing it (by directions). After one try on the left sleeve elastic gave way. I am giving it 3 because it has a great look so I am taking it appart and using it as a pattern to make another one out of different fabric.


Looks nice
The outfit looks nice but it made out of cheap fabric. I would expect this costume to last after two or three wearing and washing. It shows wrinkles like crazy but a good steam will take care of that. Over all it looks nice and it the quality I expected for the prince. I would recommend it.


Quality not up to standard
Very poor quality...the vest is coming apart at the seams and the belt has been stretched out after only one use

Well....I got what I paid for. Though the shirt was HUGE and the hat was tiny. Not sure how anyone that could fill out that shirt could ever have that hat fit on thier head! The material was cheap....but hey....ya wear it for one night! (doesn't make for a good fashion statement).

Forum Mr.Leprechaun Costume, Green, Adult B004Q6VR88

Forum Mr.Leprechaun Costume, Green, Adult - 4.2 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Comes with Pants, Top, and Much Different Hat
Costume is actually really good. Fit me (6' 4") but pants were a little tight. Does not come with socks, pot of gold, pipe, beard so thats a bit deceptive. Probably in the description somewhere but I didn't read that.


Worked well enough for me
I would not recommend this if you are over 5' 7" and 180lbs and have a neck measurement of over 17". I had to safety pin the collar closed because the company used velcro instead of a top button. I also had to safety pin the bow tie in place along with the jacket lapels. Everyone loves the costume though. It was a hit for Halloween!


So fun
I wore this for a St. Patrick's 5k run. It was so much fun, and everyone loved it. Great buy !

Funny
Many complements on it. Fit good. At our local trampoline indoor place, they took photo of me wearing it while playing dodgeball in it.


Dragon*Con
Five of us bought this (and the lady's version) and went as the gang from Dodgeball. It went over damn well. Great quality, everyone looked amazing.

Illusive Concepts Floating Witch B003PSR5CK

Illusive Concepts Floating Witch - 2.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Good Looking, so-so quality
Looks realistic in your halloween yard but is made (the broom) of cheap plastic.
So, just take good care when handling it.


Cheap product
I got the witch and it didn't have all the parts....so I had to get the missing parts from the seller. Then I put it together and not but a week and a half later it started falling apart! I ended up taking it down and throwing it away before Halloween. What a waste of money.

Gangnam Style Tuxedo Jacket, Dark B009RBRJXY

Gangnam Style Tuxedo Jacket, Dark Blue, XLarge - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Awesome Psy Tux Jacket
We ordered these jackets for a Gangnam Flash Mob. They were authentic and fit true to size. Also included bow tie and shades. A great product!


Just like the picture
You get everything you see in the description. I'm a size 16/18 girl and I ordered a large and it was a bit baggy. Wish they had women's sizing but overall, Loved the jacket and the glasses, didn't wear the bowtie it came with, but still happy with the purchase. Will probably wear it again next Halloween, to get my full money's worth.

Anime Cosplay Costume Assassin's Creed B009NG175O

Anime Cosplay Costume Assassin's Creed 2 II Ezio Black, Male-XXX-Large - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Excellent quality
I ordered this costume for cosplay at conventions (and also for a Halloween costume, later in the year). While this costume is not *perfect* it does look more or less like the picture here, and the finished product looks like Ezio's ebony costume. I have a couple of minor gripes - because the costume arrives in several pieces, it takes some effort to hold them together, so I'd suggest using safety pins. The hood in particular is very hard to keep straight, to give you the "Assassin" look - you need a mirror to get it straight, and it tends to tip crooked. I think I'm going to sew it on. Also the black shirt that goes underneath the belt and the silver shoulder/chest piece is only connected by a single piece of Velcro, so you need safety pins to hold it together. I'm going to have a zipper put on it. But once you figure these things out it's a very sharp costume.

Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Pilot B0030KD84W

Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Pilot Adult Costume (XL) - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Good value for the price
The helmet included with this costume is NOT the one pictured.

I purchased this knowing that this costume did not come with the deluxe helmet. The helmet is thin but durable plastic and actually quite decent. It is a clam shell design that comes together with velcro and the visor also attaches inside with velcro. I have a pretty big head (7.5") and it fit with some room to spare. The visor is difficult to see through clearly and the bottom of the plastic rubs against the bridge of my nose but that can easily be filed or trimmed away. You also have the option of removing the visor completely. There is also no chinstrap for the helmet. It looks pretty cool when I just carry the helmet on my arm, too.

The jumpsuit itself is good quality and not at all see-through. It has lots of real pockets which come in handy for car keys, wallet, candy, etc. I was very surprised at the quality of this costume considering all the flimsy stuff they sell nowadays. The suit zips...


Big disappointment for a big Star Wars fan
Given the price of this costume, I assumed it came with a regular helmet-- not the collector's edition mind you, but the regular helmet sold elsewhere on Amazon.com. It turns out the "helmet" in this costume kit is two pieces of very thin plastic that you Velcro together to create the look of a full helmet. You then Velcro on a yellow visor. It looks very cheap.

From what I could see without opening the packaging, the orange jumpsuit looks like decent quality, but given the shoddy helmet, this costume is going right back to the seller.


Great costume
Great costume, got lots of compliments, the helmet works very well. It was a little small, but overall fit decently well. Well done, would recommend.

Maid Marian Costume Adult B00410CS6O

Maid Marian Costume Adult - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Beautiful AND fit well!
This costume is EXACTLY as pictured! The fabric is a velour type material, which I ironed with a warm iron (on the inside) and it took out all of the shpping wrinkles. To put it's size into perspective: I am 5'6", 165lbs, wear a size 10-Long pants, Med/Large shirts, 34D bra... I ordered the medium and it was perfect! The sleeves were slightly long, which I prefer, and the dress was long enough to cover my shoes (ballet flats), and just stretchy enough that I could breathe AND it hugged all of my curves very nicely. All in all, this is a wonderful costume that I got MANY compliments on, including "You must have paid a fortune for this" and "Can I borrow this for my wedding?"... which is funny, because I wore it to a Masquerade wedding that was held on Halloween.

Seahorse Pinata (each) B0097B04CW

Seahorse Pinata (each) - 4.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


very cute
bought this for my daugher's birthday. Was very cute, but they put a sticker over the stuffing hole that tore off a bunch of the tissue and I had to tape over this after filling with candy. The kids didn't care but I would have thought they could have used a matching color cover or included another sticker to seal after filling.

Freddy Mercury Deluxe Suit Costume, B006MRNOHG

Freddy Mercury Deluxe Suit Costume, Yellow, Standard - 4.5 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


it was a hit
I'd what it was suppose to do..give the impression Freddie Mercury is still among us. be cautious of jacket for it was draped over back of chair and with my arms rested, made 2 fine gouges in material. recommend!


Really good material, looks just like original costume that was worn by Freddie during his iconic show at Wembley Stadium.
Pros:
- Fits good. It's a standard-sized costume, short for an average person, and it is supposed to be short, since Freddie normally wore very tight costumes. I'm thin, so it was not perfect tight fit, but it was good enough.
- The material used is very good and has good finishing.
- It really looks like the original costume that was worn by Freddie during his iconic show at Wembley Stadium.

Cons (reasons to remove 1 star):
- I wore it once and 2 little metallic eyelets fell off one jacket buckle. Although it didn't damaged the whole look, it should be better fixed.
- The plastic used in the jacket is really stiff.

It came in perfect condition and was shipped on time. I wore it once and people thanked me for wearing it, as I looked so awesome. Will recommend for all mankind, this costume = peace on Earth and end to war.


better than expected
I thought this would be the same cheap material you normally get from costume shops, but the jacket is actually a pretty substantial vinyl. The pants are decent as well. Good stuff.
