   My 5 year old son absolutely loved this costume. We bought it for Halloween and he also frequently asks if we’ll let him wear it to the playground or just for fun. So far, it’s stood up to several wash cycles.Overall, I’m impress at the quality of this budget costume. We appreciate the various little flourishes, like the straps on the arms and legs which add a bit of extra flair to the costume but are something that they could have easily gotten away with leaving off. Also appreciated that the costume is light enough to be worn in warm weather/ indoors but also has room to be worn on top of other layers in cold weather; so this was comfortable for my son both at a crowded indoor party and trick or treating at night. My son actually preferred wearing it on top of his jacket because he thought that the extra bulk looked like muscles, however this was too much for the velcro on the back which kept on popping open (nothing that a safety pin couldn’t fix).Of course it’s still a budget costume when you come right down to it. There a few aspects that would have bothered me if I had spent more, but did not at this price point. Specifically, the felt ninja stars were floppy and looked kind of silly, as well as the issue that I already mentioned about the velcro not being strong enough to hold it shut when worn with layers. But my son still thought it was awesome, and that’s all that really mattered.It did not come with the plastic sword in the picture, but we easily obtained one for $0.99. However, they did through in a bonus plastic action figure ninja in a matching costume which my son thought was cool.One final note for anyone buying any highly rated budget costume from Amazon, be prepared to see several kids wearing identical costumes at school. The up side is that half a dozen ninjas playing together makes a whole lot more sense (and makes for better photos) than half a dozen Captain Americas, but good luck telling which kids is yours.

   Bought this in a Medium Plus for my 7 yr old son and 8 yr old daughter. They both are a little tall for their age, and the medium plus fits fine, and has room for them to grow- it could fit them until they’re 9.They absolutely LOVE these costumes. From a parental stand-point, I consider it money well-spent, especially since the medium plus is (when I bought it) only $6.They’re made of a pretty light, stretchy material, like most children’s costumes. They fasten loosely in the back with small velcro tabs- I intend to add snaps since I’m pretty sure my kids will be wearing these for the better part of a year. The mask is also actually a separate piece, a square of black fabric with laces on the top and bottom which tie behind the kids’ heads. It looks good, but slips down during play and they’re constantly asking me to retie them, so I’ll either be sewing the mask to the hood or adding velcro snaps so the kids can take the mask off when they need to eat/drink. The chest piece lined in red is thicker than the rest of the costume, and adds a layer of protection from roughhousing. Not a lot, but it’s mentionable.The arm and leg ties are pretty authentic, and look great- but they also tend to slip down or untie often so either the kids trip on them or the cats end up chasing them, and again I have to retie them a lot. I’ll be sewing those permanently to the costume- they could also be cut right off without any real detriment to the look of the costume. (They also might need some help untying these the first couple of times they visit the restroom).The costume comes with two light foam fabric shuriken that attach to the foam belt with velcro tabs, and the kids also love these. I love that they can throw them without actually hurting anything or anyone, and it makes them feel super-ninja-y.The costume actually came with a little plastic toy ninja, which made the kids day. Seriously, they shrieked when they saw the toy fall out of their costume bag, almost more than they did when they saw the costumes.It’s not super-sturdy, but it’ll last. And let’s face it, if you want a masterfully crafted costume it’s going to cost a bundle- and reasonably so, considering the cost of material and the work going into sewing it. And kids are kids- it doesn’t matter how finely crafted or sturdy something is, they’ll find a way to rip or tear it.So basically- for the price it’s a great costume, whether you’re just planning on wearing it once or for months on months. Some alterations might need to be made for long-term use (the mask and straps and ties, as mentioned) if you don’t want to constantly retie things, but nothing complicated or difficult. Someone who’s never sewn or handled costume adjustments should have no problem dealing with the minor long-term play concerns.Most importantly, MY KIDS LOVE IT. Which makes me pretty happy.

   Super cute costume for my son’s ninja themed birthday party. Pleasantly surprised at the detail (for example, the red piping/trim), for the price point.This is the stretchy nylon Halloween type quality of costume. It is not see through, which is helpful considering that it is black. You enter through the back and it is pretty easy to do since it opens all the way up from the waist with velcro strips. The arm ties are fixed to the costume, which is nice. Would have liked the leg ties to also be, but they are not. They are separate so they may not be around long depending how well they stay on while running around. The belt is separate and attaches with Velcro and is backed with foam so it has a little stiffness to it which allows it to stand up nice and straight. I usually buy higher end costumes because he is a kid who love to dress up and keeps them for years but this he chose himself and it is very cute, so even if he abuses it to an early retirement I am happy with it because of the really great details it has that so many others lack. You really can’t go wrong with this one.He is wearing the size 8-10 and it fits like a glove. As you can see he is thin, and he is a tad short for his age. The sleeves have a little length to spare but the legs do not I used the sizing chart for this product and expected it might be big due to the information, however it is not. Considering his size and the got of this costume I would guess that this would NOT fit an average 10 year old boy or possibly even a girl, and that a 9 year old boy may be a stretch, however a 9 year old girl would probably be fine with it. He is 8 years old and is a true standard size 7 in Carters and OshKosh sized clothing.

   I gave a 3 stars because the costume was obvisoulsy used as it had a very distinct body odor and house smell. The cotusme itself is in great condition and my child loves it.
