My 7 year old told me he wanted to be vampire for Halloween, and this was just so perfect! He wanted to be a "Victorian gentleman" (I hadn't realized he knew what Victorian meant) so I added a cravat, top hat, and walking stick and it turned out perfect. People just about died he was so cute...I mean scary. The Transylvanian accent didn't hurt. Either way, this was a great product. It came quickly, is well made for the price, and has already become a favorite play item.
