This costume is overpriced. The fabric is very thin (night fabric) and in less than a week I've started wearing it on my knees and elbows. However, my grandson loves the suit and wants to wear it all the time. the front zipper is well thought out. The downside is the attached arm and leg covers. While they look really cool and authentic, in order to do something like eat or open the doorknob, the costume has to be taken down to the waist. Again my grandson loves the costume so he doesn't see the flaws. I will wash it for the first time. I hope it holds up to washing.
