I wasn't thrilled when my teenage son picked this as his costume because it was more money than I wanted to spend. But I figured it would be his last year trick or treating (and I was right) so why not. I am so glad I did. What a riot! He looked hysterical and all 3 of my kids and their friends still mess around with it. It has held up well through lots of abuse. He is almost 6 feet tall (although very skinny) and it fits him.
