I really didn't have high hopes for this but I assumed it would get us through Halloween, so I was really happy with quality when it got to me.  The wings survived two flights in airplane luggage and several dress up events beautifully.  The headband was much sturdier than I expected (it actually stands up the way it's pictured and doesn't need a ton of 'fluffing').  My little girl will continue to get a lot of good dress up play value out of these beyond Halloween!
