1.0 out of 5 stars the worst costume I've ever bought, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Child's Pikachu Pokemon Costume (Size: Large 7-10) (Toy)

The Pokemon costume I ordered was advertised to be a LARGE 7. My son wears a boys size 6-8, and the costume was about six inches too short. LARGE 7, by who's standard? Further, my son was super upset because the ears on Pickachu didn't stand up like the picture showed plus the hat was too small to fit over his head. To wear the costume I would need to do some serious rigging (didn't have time to do this....reason for ordering online in the first place), but because my son cried untill his eyes and cheeks were red and puffy, and i had nothing else for him to wear I ran around with my head cut off trying to make it work.

Furhter, the back of the cosutume had a huge slit opening from the middle of the back to the neck with one flimsy tie at the neck. For a halloween costume meant to be worn in late October, it was innapropriately thin and cheaply made offering no warmth or protection what so ever. Given that the costume was too small, I had to cut the hat to make it fit, and he had to wear a ton of clothes underneath to keep warm, the end result was not a good one. The price of the product was grossly high given the pathetic product quality. I felt totally ripped off. When I called costomer service to inquire about the size and quality, I was told it was a regular size and its quality was standard? This was a flat out lie, or the service person didn't know what the hell he was talking about, since I've been buying halloween costumes for ten years for three kids which have all been less expensive, better made, and much better looking.

So, there you go. The costume i ordered got an F review, and i will never order a costume online again from Amazon. My son is a huge Pokemon fan, and it was really discouraging and sad to see him so upset about something he was so looking foward to. For nearly fifty dollars the whole experience sucked royally for every one.

PS. this review format sucks too. There is no spell check option, and quite frankly I don't have the time to appease writing critics, but i'm sure you get the pioint. This product got not stars even though Amazon made me pick at least one to submit this review!

1.0 out of 5 stars poor quality for price, November 12, 2007

i was VERY disappointed in the quality of this costume for the price! i paid 59.99 plus shipping for a costume that came in a flat envelope made of cheap foam for the hat and paper thin polyester body. there was no description for this item to describe what it was. it had a picture and that was all....smart on the sellers end. all my son wanted was to be picachu and i thought i would be getting a little better quality item than one found in the dollar store.

This costume arrived very quickly. However, the quality was not worth the price. The material was shoddy, the workmanship was poor. This cost $50. including mailing. I could have made it for half the price and it would have been much better. I have since seen a similar costume in a store for $20. I doubt that my grandson will even wear the thing. It's probably torn up by now.
