Title: Good buy.

Date: October 9, 2009

"This costume was great, the only thing that was a little bit iffy about this costume was the head. Its so big that it wants to flop over. But i was able to make a device sort of thing to keep the head up, and it worked just great. Another thing is the mouth, i think that with the mouth being the part that you see out of, its too large and people can see too much of you. So i just put material i could still see through over the mouth. It was effective. Everyone loved my costume and i would reccomend this, but just know you may need to do some adjusting to the head! :)"

"This was an awesome costume! I teach elementary school in Japan and it was a huge hit with my students and equally as popular out on the town in Tokyo.
It does have some negatives though: It's hot and I couldn't keep the head on for more than an hour or so before I needed to remove it to cool off. The arms were too short and required alteration."

"My Adult kids actually fought over who got to wear this costume.
It was easy to wear and comfortable. We stuffed the head with plastic shopping bags and it looked great. The best part was that everyone thought it was so funny, These days we don't laugh enough....This costume made everyone laugh out loud!"

"My husband bought this for a big Halloween party and he was the hit of the night. People actually made a line just to get a picture with him! He felt like a rock star. His only complain was that everyone could see his face. I bought white fishnet tights, cut them and glued them on the inside to cover the mouth and the problem was solved. He followed the advice given in other reviews and created a "device" to keep the head straight. Oh we also glued velcro to the back so no one could see his shirt. Yes, we made some alterations, but it was worth it! Halloween was a blast!"

"I totally loved this costume even though I bought 2 other costumes, this one was the most fun and most popular when I went to a Convention in Atlanta. It was so awesome, as soon as I got the costumes of course there were some problems with keeping the head up right and covering the mouth with a see through guard. What I did was i got 2 coat hangers and molded them into a big circle, almost the size of the head while holding part of hanger in my mouth so it would keep it upright when I walked or whatever. Other than that yes the back is naked and Velcro is a good idea if you want to close up that naked area. I had so many pictures taken, it was hard to get around the place."

"Costume is fantastic. Simple and effective look. Although some people have mentioned the mouth hole is to big i found it to be ideal as it allows for easy eating and drinking without removing costume head also costume enables you to hold and carry things still. Overall love the costume it is destined to be a hit."

Title: Big Hit!

Date: December 18, 2008

"The kids absolutely loved the costume! It was the biggest hit (next to Santa) at our work Christmas Party. This costume is not for tall people. We did add some tule around the cut out of the mouth, as you could clearly see the person insides face. With the tule...the face was completely hidden.
YOou can not beat the value and fun factor of this costume."

"This is a great costume for parties and school.
A CON about this costume is the obnoxiously HUGE head!! I can never get it to stand up just right. Especially when walking through the hallways.
Another CON about this costume is that your back is naked without some sort of velcro. Originally on the costume is just one string to tie and that's at the neck. I bought velcro from Walmart to get the whole costume back to close.
Another CON about this costume is that the mouth is where your head goes. This looks horrible in my opinion. Very amateur. So what I did was I got an old sash-type thing I found. It's black and you're able to see through it. I used it as a screen. I used my trusty velcro and velcro'd that into the mouth so you can't see my face. It's a disappointment that the creators of this costume didn't think of what I did."

Title: Good Fun Costume

Date: October 22, 2008

"This is a good costume. The head stayed up well for me but others have not had the same luck. I threw some foam in the head to keep it firmly up.
This costume is incredibly comfortable and good to wear for a few hours. I'd recommend a pair of white sneakers to go with it. There are holes behind the hands so you can slide your hands out to hold a drink or something.
The quality isn't top notch but it'll last a couple parties. The stitching started to come apart after a few wears but still looks good.
I wish the gumdrop buttons were 3-D."

Title: Great Costume!

Date: October 13, 2008

"This costume is alwsome! Im about 5'4 and it was just a tab too big for me but that was ok. The legs covered me feet which was perfect b/c my shoes were hidden. The arms length was perfect and the slots for your hands were great. When I recieved my costume in the mail, my dog got to it first and tore off 2 chunk of the costume. Now I have to do some repatching using some felt and foam material. Hopefully that will not distract anybody from the costume itself. Like everyone said, the head is oversize. It flops down whenever I wear it. All I simply did was stuffed it with wrapping tissue paper and that did the trick. Over all, great product and great costume!"

"We bought this costume for my husband, who is a fifth grade teacher and has to dress up for school. In the picture it looks it would be plasticy, but it's not, it's a nice quality foam/fabric. we like everything about the costume. The only negative comments are that we will have to stuff the head to keep it standing up, and you can see my husband's socks because he is 6'2"."

"Looked way better than the pictures could make it look. Fit well. Downside is that the back is open and only has a tie strings at the top of the neck but no big deal. This costume was a hit! I got mobbed by kids when I took my nephew to the mall. I couldnt even walk away without taking hundreds of pictures!
If your thinking about this costume DO IT!"

"The only small problem that I had with this costume was the head. Being that it is quite large, as it should be, I placed some light weight plastic shipping bags on the inside. This solved the problem and the kids loved him marching in the parade along with Shrek, Snow White, and the others. Overall it is well worth the money."
