This was worth the money.  It's kind of put together chintzy - but if you have a needle and thread, you can make sure things like buttons are secure.  The cape was really wrinkled and had to be ironed.  But it has definitely gotten a lot of use.  Once it's ironed and stuff it looks really great on.  The cape is a little longer than some costumes I looked at, which to me, makes it look more authentic and dramatic.  Our kiddo really liked it a lot.
