First let me say that I have 3 boys, and I've been buying clone trooper outfits on and off for the last 5 years. In the past they have been just short of junk. This year I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The helmet is much improved. It's thicker plastic and much more sturdy. The only drawback is it had a really strong plastic smell when we first opened it. Let it air out for a day and it was fine. Another really nice surprise was the belt actually fit my 5 year old! This has been a big problem in the past. They did away with the velcro and it simply ties in the back now. From the looks of it, it would fit anywhere from a 4 year old on up without problems. The rest of the costume is much better made as well.
I read some of the other reviews and to be honest I was nervous I was in for another disappointment. I'm thinking they must have gotten a different costume or maybe not a "deluxe" one? Get this one and you'll be happy you did. My son LOVES it.
