Super toy!

2007-02-20
I bought this for my 5 yr old cousin, and he loved it. Everyone thought it was hilarious that they knew exactly where he was in the house because of the fan softly whirring. He thought it was great and I would buy it again.

I think those who rated it low probably had a defective product and should send it back for replacement.

Not what I thought it was

My nephew was very excited when he saw the box and the picture. Unfortunately, the inflatable suit is not really inflatable. It requires constant air to keep it poofy looking. It is basically a costume that has elastic bands around the neck and wrists and requires a blower (battery operated) to blow airs in to keep it looking inflated. The battery is heavy and will not stay put on the two inch diameter hole on the back side of the thin vinyl suit. Everytime he moves, it pops out. The fan is noisy so he ran around in the clingy, deflated suit for a few minutes and begged to be let out of it as the elastic bands were restricting him. He loves superman and loves having a cape. He opted for a regular white towel over the thin red vinyl cape the costume came with.

I suppose we got what we paid for. Cheap prices doesn't equate to quality. I felt like my nephew got only a couple of minutes out of this toy. Would not recommend it to anyone else... Unfortunately...

I am pleased with this product. It works well and was a delight to our little five year old grandson who loves Superman. We had no problems with this item. It is definitely a "fun" thing for a little boy to have.

i can't belive the quality of this item. For the small amount of money i paid i did not expect much but this outdid all expectations.

my grandson just loved it and hasn't taken it off since he got it.

Thanks for a terrific bargain.

Lots of Fun!

Even though my son has now lost interest in this as a daily source of enjoyment, for about 2 weeks he would spend about 45 mins - 60 mins just running around the house and yard. For the price of this and if your kid has any interest in superheros, you can't go wrong. My son still will grab this from time to time and use his imagination to it's fullest. It's definitely money well spent.

Fun, but wears off real quick

This was a fun item, but the "fun" wears off real quick. The inflater fan is a little clip-on and it's a bit annoying for my son. He complains that this costume is "itchy" and wants it off of him within minutes of having it on, even when it is over his clothing.

Maybe when he is a little older he will keep it on longer (he is 5). It's definately worth the few minutes he wears it now!

Still wearing it!

Purchased this for my nephew last Christmas and he played in it all year! I am sure he will be opening this year's gifts while wearing this suit. He loves it! He has so much fun showing off his huge muscles and running around trying to watch the cape flap behind him- too cute! GREAT gift!

Absolutely fabulous

My daughter absolutely loves becoming Super Man with this costume. I bought it for her for her birthday in April and this is what she intends on wearing for Halloween. One of the best surprises she received for her birthday!

My son, who loves dressing up in Harry Potter capes and the like, loves this. So far, it has been durable, although he is not terribly rough on it. Very funny to watch it inflate.

Better than I expected!

My four-year-old son wanted this toy from the moment he saw it! When it went on sale for $4.99, I read all the great reviews others had submit and decided to give it a try. I was somewhat skeptical about how long this toy would hold my son's attention, but I was (and continue to be) pleasantly surprised. My son absolutely LOVES it! It was his favorite birthday present and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a son who likes Superman. It is easy to operate and seems relatively safe, too.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
