I am so impressed with the quality of this costume!  I have paid much more for halloween costumes that were cheap and flimsy.  This is really well made and looks it - I don't even think the pictures do it justice. The material is really substantial, and the velcro fasteners in back make it really easy to get on and off of a toddler who hates putting things on over his head.  It's also pretty comfortable - unlike some costumes with too much padding or that seem to really bother my child.  I especially love that the sword is just floppy enough to be safe for whacking stuff (and sometimes people), but not too floppy to look real enough for a toddler.  The shield is also good quality - very Mike the Knight reminiscent, which my toddler loved.  All parts of the costume are still in great shape after several months of total abuse.  The only thing it didn't come with was a real helmet, so we ordered one for about 5 dollars and now he has a pretty complete outfit.
