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!

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.

The costume was exactly what I was looking for and made the child exceptionally happy. However, the hat/mask was wierd and I could not figure out how to get it on. I ended up ordering another Pikachu Mask. The whole costume was very cheaply made and way over priced, but I had no choice.

Its yellow plush cloth, as opposed to the thin nylon most store bought kids costumes are made of. My 9 year old son loves it. Still too pricey though..

My son was so excited to be Pikachu. However, the mask for this costume not only sits on top of the head, like the picture shows, but it made of flimsy fabric. My son didn't feel as though he looked like Pikachu, and didn't wear the mask part - he wished the mask had been the plastic kind. He wore the costume a few times before Halloween, and the seam between the neck and shoulder ripped, so it was pinned Halloween night. For the price they charge for costumes nowadays, I expect them to hold up a little better.

Great costume. Sizing was true (7-10) My son wears sizes 8 and 10 and this costume fit him perfectly. Love the fact that this costume had a hat vs. a mask. Our school does not allow mask on costumes worn at school. This was great!!! He was thrilled!!

The costume is very cute, but not sized correctly. I purchased a Large (7-10) because my son is in a size 7 clothes. The costume is very short on his legs and the hat is very small. Some of the hat stitching came loose when we tried to put it on so I had to make some alterations to it.

The price for this costume is a bit steep for the quality, but my son loved the costume and I could not find this thing anywhere. I even saw this same exact costume selling on eBay for much higher. When i saw this costume here on amazon I was excited to find it at a reasonable price. Thank you.

I ordered this item standard shipping and it arrived within 3 days. My son was so happy to open up his gift for his birthday. Thank you so much!
