Review on πŸ‘ Stylish Anakin Pouches Capsules: Must-Have Women's Costume Accessories by Heather Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great items and great seller!

Very satisfied with this product, it looks amazing, it's very accurate for cosplay, it's comfortable, it's durable enough for comic con and worth the price. Niceties: 1. I was a little concerned that the color of the belt and sheaths wouldn't be accurate in person, but it's very accurate for Episode 2 or the late Anakin cosplay from Clone Wars. Additionally, the texture and coloring of both the strap and cases are fantastic and have a "worn look". Another reviewer said the belt was a "plastic-like substance." Some call this mysterious fabric faux leather. But seriously, the belt looks really nice in faux leather and doesn't look like plastic at all in my opinion.2. The capsules are really well made, very metallic on the face.3. Falls are awesome! Not only are they very aesthetic and accurate, but the material is more like hardened foam than plastic, which looks very nice without feeling brittle or brittle. In terms of functionality, the slots in each case are only big enough for things like cards, money, and gum. You must also remove them from the belt to open the covers. This isn't a problem for me as I don't need to carry anything in them other than the above items, but don't expect to stash my phone or anything in them. Some of the screws holding the hinges were loose on arrival and needed to be tightened with a screwdriver, but everything lined up well and held up. The velcro on the strap itself combined with the overlapping tab keeps everything perfectly in place. I was concerned that the valve might look out of place or bulky, but it's quite the opposite. My biggest concern initially, and which other people disagreed with, was that the outer strap was too loose. Sure, the external strap is everywhere when you take it out of the box, but it's a stupidly simple fix. As shown in my photos, the outer strap is threaded through the buckle and secured with a loop. All you have to do is slide the loop down, gently slide the outer strap through the buckle until it is pulled over the inner strap, and then slide the loop back up. After that, the outer belt stays in place. Keep in mind that the outer strap sits fairly snugly in the buckle loop so you'll need to apply some pressure to it, but it just takes a little more length to tighten. 6. The size recommendations in the product listing are correct. I have a 33 waist and the medium size fits me perfectly. It will be a bit looser on regular clothing, but once you wear it over a layered Jedi suit it will fit snugly. Although I would really consider before buying how many layers your suit will have and what your usual size is because although there is a large velcro on the strap that can be adjusted, the velcro stays open if you end up using a strap as well have small. The width of the belt is specified in the description.7. As far as integrity goes, everything is done very efficiently and reliably, but those are costume traits. Another reviewer said it was "not for the hardcore cosplayer". Because very, very few people have the money, skills, or tools to cosplay with real materials, most cosplay (including those featured in this "hardcore" cosplay) is made out of man-made materials that look just as good as the real thing and more comfortable is the ramp all day. Everything looks incredibly good and sure is durable enough to cosplay on a cartoon horse.8. The seller shipped my order quickly and the package arrived earlier than expected, it only took two weeks from purchase to delivery. Everything was in the box and as described, or better yet.9. Two final remarks. First, if you're worried about the sleeves coming off the belt, don't worry. Although the clips are loosened more than we'd like, once the external strap was tightened, everything stayed in place. I had a pretty quick lightsaber duel and nothing came off the belt. Second, I wouldn't advise hanging a lightsaber or anything heavy on your belt, the faux leather can't take it. I realize this is a deal breaker for some, but I carry my lightsaber with a photoblade so it's not a problem for me.
