Promising review: "I wore this to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters and I wasn't sure if they'd care for it, but it was a total hit. Seeing their eyes light up was awesome. I love Halloween so it was cool to wear a costume and be in the middle of the festivities. The parents loved it too, and I took lots of photos with people. It made people laugh running down the street from their cars. This costume is so much fun. I am going to re-wear it every year. I'm sure I could find other uses for it as well." —Noel

The nice part is if you need to just take this off it folds up nicely and tucks in your bag. I can dance in this as well and still have fun." —LegoMom

Promising review: "With costumes and accessories, you never know what to expect. I had been shopping for crowns expecting this one to be the wrong size and preparing myself for something too small, but I was SO wrong. This product was perfect. The crown fits an adult head perfectly (it has three positions to lock so it will adjust) and the costume feels great. It feels sturdy and thick enough to resist a Halloween party. I am very pleased and this was a great value purchase. Thank you!" —Jean-Francois Roy

Promising review: "Great costume for a good price — it was a hit. I used some black spray paint in various areas of the costume to make it more realistic, like Beetlejuice. I also used some green spray paint around the neck area with the black. The costume is very clean and new so I roughed it up a bit with the spray paint. It turned out to be awesome and more realistic looking." —Targin S.
