I bought this for my son since he is an avid Star Wars fan. He's 9, and big for his age. It's a little bulky, but I would rather it be a little big than too small which is the issue we have when we purchase kids costumes. We bought this as an early Halloween costume so they won't be sold out...he's already getting his money's worth playing outside with his friends!!! The light up Light Saber does light up...and while it's hard to tell in sunny conditions (or even in the house) I'm sure it will be perfect once the sun goes down on Halloween night. Overall very pleased with the purchase and so is my son. The helmet was a little on the cheap side...as others have mentioned. So we sprunk for the upgraded mask...overall for the money spent, it's a great value and seems pretty durable. Like how it's really just a vest w/ a cape...so he'll be able to wear sweat shirt/pants with it when it gets cold here in the midwest during late October.

Costume fits as expected. My husband is size large, I am a XXL. Costume fits both of us! Cape and chest piece are connected. Mask is made of decent plastic with thick elastic band and velcro for attaching. Light saber is pretty sweet! It lights up if you put 2 AA batteries in it (not included). It's cool even when not lit up. You'll need to provide your own black shirt, pants, and shoes (for those of you who think everything in the picture comes at one cheap price). I am so excited for this year's Halloween! Son is Luke, daughter is Leia, Daddy is Darth Vadar, and I am Queen Amidala! Pictures are: light saber not light up, and light saber lit up in dark bathroom with flash use. ps, weak batteries were used in pic.

Arrived on time and undamaged.

The costume fit ok, was a little large for my son who wore it. The saber was cheap and did not last the week, I am glad I made him keep it in the package until he went trick-or-treating. The actual saber part fell out when he tried to extend it with a 'flick of the wrist' motion and the thing never really lit up right and after a few days did not turn on at all. If you just need a simple costume for like last minute, this is ok.. it will get the job done, but dont be fooled. It is pretty cheap.

Item was fine. For the price it was great! The chest plate is fabric so it is pliable and fits anyone. The mask is a typical plastic mask, we had a better Darth Vader mask previously so used that instead. The cape is just a typical black simple cape. Worked great!

This costume is garbage. Do not buy it. The mask is small and more suited for a child. It's doesn't cover your head and your ears will be visible on either side of it. The chest piece is trash. It's a rubbery material that has some detail poorly screen printed on it and it stays on via two straps which you tie in the back. The cape that comes attached to the chest piece is cheap and short. Finally the light saber is horrible. It barely lights up and fell apart almost immediately even though I was not playing with it or pretending to fight others. It literally just fell apart. I can't believe people give this a decent rating.

The mask is flimsy and small, but when combined with the full head mask this is a great simple outfit. My teenage son loves it!

Great costume for adults

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

Great costume for adults. I'm a 6'5" guy, and was a bit weary about the fit - but much to my surprise it fit great. I used a balaclava to cover my head, and some lightweight black gloves to cover my hands, black long-sleeve shirt and black pants & was good to go!

The mask looks great - however, I did end up modifying the eye-pieces. The eye-pieces that come stock are so bad that I felt like I was looking through the bottom of glass bottles. I cut the stock eye pieces out. I had a pair of old sunglasses, I took the lenses out, then glued to the inside of the mask.

Es un juguete y como tal debe ser tomado. No se esperen un disfraz "Premium", sólo es un peto de goma espuma, la capa, una careta y una espada con luz. Si lo que quieres es pasar un rato ameno, seguro que lo consigues. Si lo quieres para concurso. Busca otra cosa...

Es un disfraz muy sencillo pero da buen resultado por ese precio. El punto débil es que no tapa el cuello, tienes que llevar algo de ropa negra que lo tape completamente o se pierde el efecto y una camisa o similar no es suficiente. Yo me puse una balaclava negra y, con ese pequeño añadido, quedó muy bien.
