Jurassic World: T-Rex Inflatable Costume for Adults, Unisex One Size

I was somewhat concerned by some other reviews describing a fragile or defective product, but this one seemed to get decent reviews overall so I took the chance. I bought it primarily to wear as a complete surprise to my neighbors on Halloween. I ran, walked, dragged through shrubs and small tree branches, had my tail pulled, and put over a mile on concrete / asphalt on this suit and it held up very well. The appearance was good and the inflation worked as expected. PRO: Well worth it! I putthe costume on and took it off multiple times with zero issues. The zipper worked perfectly, the ankle and wrist elastic is tight and the blower works really well. The costume is light and has nice color / appearance. I doubt this is a "rip-stop" type of material, but it does have a feeling of durability of the costume fabric (some sort of woven plastic I guess?). I scrubbed my "Dino head" through multiple trees where they hung low over the sidewalk, with no damage. Tough product! CON: Maybe I went out too strong and got too hot / sweaty, but the clear panels fogged up repeatedly and stubbornly so that I had to wipe them down all the time. I ended up carrying a paper towel in one "claw" and then occasionally pulling that hand inside the costume to wipe the inside of the panel. While doing this, I'd just bunch up and seal the now-open armhole with my other hand, then re-extend my hand. This is another example of the durability of the product, as this takes some amount of force to push through the strong wrist elastic. The other issue is that there are two vision panels - one in the neck and the other in the bottom of the lower jaw. Between them is a seam. If you're running a lot and around 6' tall, this seam will kinda rub on your face / forehead. I ended up biting the seam and hanging on to keep it off my face. Again - fairly tough product to easily survive this. The tail drags the ground. I probably ran around for at least a mile on the sidewalk and in the street with no visible wear. Also, I had a couple kids grab my tail and hang on when I was running through yards, and since I didn't know it I just kept going and they were pulled over. Again, no damage to the costume.

This is one of those things that really is a MUST have items. I, a 44 year old stay at home wife and mom …’had’ to have a T-Rex costume. Package arrives and 15 minutes later, there I was, entertaining myself in our culdesac belly laughing with images of what I looked like walk as I felt the costume moving about my rhythm. It was not the roar of a T-Rex - but the roar of my laughter. Getting into the new fun fat suit was a liberating experience in itself. I am now confident I can do yoga and play limbo no problem! So how does this thing stay inflated? Well let me tell ya. It is the costume version of a "sauna". From the moment, and I am being literal... the MOMENT you zip up, you are the rock that is steamed up! No concern of suffocation, there is constant outside air coming in to keep you puffy. I have dropped 10 pounds in three days! (pfffft, that’s not true) Be sure you and whoever else enters the suit - have fresh deodorant, breath mint, gum.... Many reviews have talked about the heat produced. I took small ice packs and each pocket had on, I even had one in the top of my shirt. I remained cool and comfortable and was able to have some awesome city fun! (pictures attached) Product durability - everything seals up great! material is tough. (I decided to steam the material and I have to say this was a huge PLUS as the suit inflates so much better and the plastic to look through was easier to see through. Be careful on the plastic even with steam, it can melt) Product Cost - EXCELLENT (it was a gift lol) no really, the price is awesome!! This is truly a great buy with endless options to entertain myself, er I mean others. Product design and dimensions advertised - PERFECT (I am a decent size gal. 5'7 wearing between a 16-18 for pants, 1X for shirt. I got the M adult and it fits great. Product Packaging & Delivery - the plastic package was pretty loose and not taped or fastened however it came in a box with air bubbles and there was no damage. It arrived 4 hours earlier than estimated. YAH ME!!

This costume is so awesome. I bought this to surprise my niece at her wedding reception as she has loved dinosaurs her whole life. Once all the formal stuff was done, I snuck off to change into the costume with the help of my granddaughter. Once I was ready, she went back out, signaled my brother who signaled the DJ and suddenly the theme music to "Jurassic Park" started playing. That was my cue. I came out and the hilarity ensued. Everyone was cracking up. I went over to my niece and made her dance with me. She hugged me and said "I love you so much, this is awesome". I then danced with her new husband. It was a great time. Afterwards she came up to me to inquire if I had rented or bought the costume. I told her I bought it and asked if she wanted it. I received a resounding "Yes!" I told her it was hers. She said "OMG! I have to go tell my husband. Oh, I just love saying that!" and she ran off. LOL I retain the title of Best Aunt Ever! The costume works really well. There is a very small, unnoticeable hole in the seam in the head but that is so the costume doesn't blow up - like kablooey blow up - the arms and legs have elastic and fit tight. It is easy to put on and inflates quickly and quietly. It does get hot after a while but the fan helps. I suggest wearing a tank top and shorts underneath. You'll need a tiny screwdriver to get the battery box open. All in all, a great costume, easy to wear, and sure to be the hit of any event.

Fun costume but mine was missing the gloves. Never felt like it was fully inflated which made the head droop a bit. Maybe the gloves would’ve helped keep the air in.

Best costume ever

We bought four inflatable Dino suits to wear for Halloween. I bought them from four different sellers, so they were all very slightly different. This was the most expensive suit by far. We were excited about the sound box. But it was the lowest quality and the only suit to stop inflating at all after one hour. When we tried the suits on for the first time, the sound box worked, though it was not very loud, and I was impressed that it came with a storage bag and patches, unlike the other suits. It was smaller than the others, but we weren’t too worried, we had a person who was also smaller than the others and could wear it. There were some loose threads at the seams, but we trimmed those off. They were inside, so again, we weren’t worried. Yet. We should have been. The next night was Halloween night. We found that the sound box stopped working unless we shook the bejeebus out of it, then it would make sound but it cut in and out. The seams around the zipper started coming unraveled, I pinched the seams closed as we danced along the street dinging the Jurassic Park theme song. I had to hold some of the seams closed. Eventually, we went back to the car to get the patches it came with and that helped but I only had two and multiple seams were unraveling. The other three suits had battery packs that could be detached and we could use the usb plug with a rechargeable battery pack of our own. This one did not. In the end, we used AA batteries in all four suits, and all but this one stayed inflated for the full time we wore them through the neighborhood, about one hour. This fan in this suit was not as powerful as the others, even when we stood perfectly still. Note for future t-Rexes: moving around in the suits will make them deflate very slightly. The more you do at once- waving arms, hopping up and down, or hugging small children so parents can take pictures- the more air you lose. In our other suits, we could run full speed into a gaggle of grade school aged kids and make the run screaming in every direction and it barely made a change in their inflation rate. This suit could barely tiptoe up behind a toddler and yell ”Rar!” Without having to stand still for 45-60 seconds to reinflate. We mostly felt like puppeteers running around in the suits. The addition of giant googly eyes really paid off on this suit as the head flopped around due to the weak fan and everyone could clearly see its face. (Not by design, but it worked). The other suits seemed to be howling their displeasure at the sky all night. After one hour, we could not keep the head up on this suit no matter what we did, so we gave up and went home. Next year, we will buy another suit from one of the other manufacturers to make sure we can all rampage together. My teenagers said this was the most fun they’ve ever had at Halloween and cannot wait for next year. I am attaching two photos to this review. One is a rear view of the suits. You can clearly see that this suit did not fully inflate like the others. And another photo showing me having to hold the seams together as soon as we put the suits on. This was after several minutes of inflation while we stood still.

my husband has wanted one of these costumes for years. finally they halved in price and I scooped one up for a surprise. he has worn it at least once a week since. after seeing it, one of his friends ordered one and now they do t-rex things together: go to the bar, the bowling alley. he took it dancing at a club, it was a huge hit for the 30 min he was able to wear it before he almost literally melted. it IS hot inside. you will be drenched in sweat if the temp is above 40. and even if it's not.. the suit will still be warm inside and the water will condense in the head of the dinosaur and occasionally rain on you. the windows fog up. still worth it. my 8 yr old has worn it to dance in our driveway for his brother's schoolbus, and to amuse people in our subdivision as they drive to work. you can see them cracking up in their cars, it's hilarious. when son wears it, the haunches pretty much rest on the ground and he can just see out the bottom of the chest window. husband is 6', wide shouldered and 240#. I knew we would be pushing the limits of the suit but it does fit. his shoulders are up inside the neck a bit which makes for a really tight fit. and the legs end a little lower than mid-calf, but the feet flopping down help hide that. they've been posting t-rex exploits on facebook and everyone I run into comments on how much they like it. I thought these were pretty popular costumes, but I'm surprised how many people have never seen them. my boss even got one after seeing the videos- for Halloween he stood still in his yard and pretended to be a blow up lawn decoration, then scared the crap out of people when they got near him. he's 5'9 and slight runner's build, it fits him perfectly. ONE CON: the seam above the zipper has let loose twice on our suit. I had seen this in the reviews. the first time I stitched it up and it ripped out again. the second time I stitched it up and also stitched the top of the zipper together (above the teeth, so it doesn't affect the working of the zipper at all). sewing thru the thicker material there holds everything together much better and that seam hasn't split since.

So much fun! Good fit and functional in-spite of a soaked Halloween evening.
