Ruby Slipper Sales 820649 Hippo Inflatable Adult Costume One-Size - OS

For some reason, I was given a returned/used costume. It already had batteries in it was just stuffed back into the damaged packaging bag in a wadded up ball. It is that reason alone that I knocked off a star. That being said, the costume itself was undamaged and the blower functioned perfectly. Fits as expected should be a lot of fun. A side note suggestion to the manufacturer - next time please skip putting all that glitter on the tutu, it gets all over everything...lol.

Love this thing. Me and 2 other co-workers ordered this and did a routine at work for Halloween. It was hilarious and we won first prize. It works great, inflates well and seems durable enough to last for a while. The only minor negatives that I can comment on would be that the skirt has glitter on it and it will get everywhere you go with it on. Another thing is that it can get a little hot inside, especially if you're dancing in it (which is what we did and after 4 minutes, was sweating like crazy). It can also be a little tricky to put on by yourself, so you may need assistance with putting it on. Lastly, the instructions that came with it explain how to use the fan that inflates it, but doesn't offer any suggestion on how to put it on properly. There are 2 shoulder straps inside the costume and at first they weren't doing much to hold up the costume, but I quickly figured out that by criss-crossing them, it worked perfectly. If you're buying this to wear to a costume party/event and you'll only have it on for a short period of time, it's well worth the money. Also, I think it goes without saying to make sure you go to the rest room before you put it on. Have fun!

I was so excited to get this costume to wear at our school Halloween parade. I'm sure my third graders would love it but I was disappointed to find it has a hole in it. It wasn't fully sewn at the waist where the fabric meets the skirt. So it won't fully inflate since air is getting out.

Ok, I am going to be honest on this item. I love it. I bought as a gimmick for work. I work for the government and people are too serious. Anyway I bought Greta to evoke smiles, and she does. Pro: She is great and gigantic. She blows up fully in about 2 minutes. There are suspenders built in, great for tall people. Con: I am 5???3??? and the other person inside was 5???5??? and in reality we were too short. This is perfect for a tall person. In the video we have the suspenders shortened so much that it kind of reduced the arm movement. But you know what who cares how can you not smile at a ballerina hippo. Be warned the suit retains body heat and you will sweat, wear something extremely lightweight.

Looks a little different and it arrived with a hole but it was still good
