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.
