Expensive but effective : Brilliant costume, had been looking for one for ages that was affordable, well done Escapade! Really happy, however the seams on the wrists already had holes in when we removed it from the packing (a design flaw I think). This costume went down a treat this Halloween and freaked many people out. We are going to have to perform a few mods for this costume to work again, (put a zip on the back as the velcro is rubbish and constantly comes undone, going to make the flawed hands into gloves and mod the mask so it is easier to see out of) which is a bit disappointing for the money but the overall effect is so creepy that it just may be worth it! Our issues are with the manufacturer, not Escapades, their service was brilliant and I would definitely use them again, quick, helpful and efficient. Top marks!

Looks good feels a little off : The costume had a couple of tears on each palm (design malfunction?) and a small elastic band that''s supposed to keep the mask on your head was ripped off. Also, the mask feels uncomfortable and it keeps rubbing the eye section so you have to mind your movement.

Very pleased with the costume : Nice look, comfortable and not as hot as i originally feared. Only small flaws i found was that the ears wouldnt stay up unless the mask was in specific angle and that the mask didn''t have lots of detail. All in all, very nice costume.

close but no cigar : the suit looks great no doubt about that, the mask is a little less impressive for the price of the costume. the costume is warm you couldn''t expect anything but that tho in a giant fury suit. my issues are the arms are far to long and the gloves you cant work anything with the padded fingers, the suit does up at the back which makes it incredibly hard or impossible to get to your wallet or visit the bathroom with out almost taking the entire suit off

I''d recommend this product to a friend : Good costume overall, mask was a bit big for me, but it was easily made smaller with a few safety pins. The only downside I would say is that there aren''t any holes beside the gloves that you can stick your hands out of, once your in the suit you have to wear the hands all the time, and it can get hot if you''re somewhere crowded. Apart from those minor points it looks good and it''s a cool costume in general.

Good outfit for Halloween: The outfit is great for Halloween parties and any film themed fancy dress events. Size is very good (legs are possibly a bit long) and I''m 6''2 and 44" chest. Only downsides I can see is it doesn''t look quite like the picture on the website although it is still a good likeness to Frank. The back in secured by a small piece of velcro at the neckline (leaving the back somewhat open) which gets stuck to the fur, and integrated gloves seem to have short fingers as well. These points are quite minor in reality so would recommend to any Donnie Darko fans.

Love this website : Amazingly quick delivery. Came 2 days after i ordered it. It seemed to fit my partner well but fluff went everywhere when he first tried it on. But other than this EXCELLENT.
