Rubies Mechanical Devil Wings for Adults, Unisex No Size

I was very impressed with this wing set and can’t believe the quality for price. Pros: - Great deal - bright red really contrasts with the black. - sturdy frame sits fairly comfortably on back (with caveat, see below) - Wings open very wide, for a big wow-factor, and fold up pretty tightly. - The strings were easy to pull Things to keep in mind (I’d call them ‘cons’ except I really like the wings) - sometimes I had to search for the strings a bit as they would swing to the back. - I had to walk through doors a bit sideways, and would every so often knock them on the door. - walking outside they would suddenly open wide in the wind, and there was no way to force them closed. It felt a bit like a kite, and definitely suddenly smacked (lightly) the friends walking beside me. It could be annoying if in a crowded outside area - though for us was just humerus. - The straps were pretty tight, and I am slender. I couldn’t see how to expand them, but didn’t look too hard yet. They fit me, but might be too tight for someone with broad shoulders. I would absolutely buy them again.

My son loved these. They were pretty amazing. He even wore them to school, he is a sophomore. He raised eyebrows everywhere, and he even got an amazing smile from a teacher across the hall conducting class who usually doesn't deviate...stood completely still watching my son slowly open these great sized cool looking wings, his own students got up out of their seats to come see haha ... distracted his own class! Sooooo many compliments, and made my son happy as he paid for them with his own money to create this year's dream costume! They will however not last long. One gust of wind (and I imagine many other incidences) quite easily broke one wing from operating. So for the price, and if you don't mind a one time use and you're careful (and it's not windy) you're good!!! UPDATE SUMMER 2021- He's still talking about these wings and wants to use them again. He did fix the one wing. I don't know how. Here are some additional close up pics from today after seeing so many questions about them. The two pull cords are separate and they crisscross on the back attached to a plastic board centered on the back between the wings. Pulled separately they elevate (open) one wing at a time or both together if you choose to pull at the same time. There are two plastic tubes the cords thread through on their way to the wings. There is a black tank he has put over this for his next costume and that is what the extra black fabric is that you see. There is NO cover over the back of the wing mechanism.

I love these wings! They are very easy to maneuver and look great. They created an extremely dramatic effect. Would definitely recommend them! Only gave 4 stars because we had to do a little work to them for proper functionality. The straps are uncomfortably snug but we just sewed some additional 1” black elastic to them to improve the fit. One of the screws fell out of the hinge while trying them on but that was an easy fix with a small Phillips head screwdriver. And finally, the black plastic box in the center the wings attach to and that houses the pulley system to make them flap, needed to be covered up for a more natural demon look. I just got a piece of black faux fur and that did the trick perfectly.

I couldn't have been more thrilled with the Mechanical Wings Costume Accessory in green, which I used for my Halloween dragon costume. The excitement was real, and these wings turned my costume into a true showstopper. The kids and adults during trick-or-treating were absolutely enchanted by them. I lost count of how many inquiries I received about where to get these wings! The pulley system is incredibly user-friendly, and what's truly remarkable is how they move so smoothly without anyone noticing me pulling on the strings. The effect was mesmerizing, adding a magical touch to my costume. In terms of durability, these wings exceeded my expectations. They endured the entire Halloween night without a hitch. The only minor downside was that the elastic straps that go over the shoulders felt a tad tight on me, and I have a medium build. Nevertheless, this was a small inconvenience compared to the sheer delight and attention these wings brought to my dragon costume. Overall, these Mechanical Wings are a fantastic accessory, and I highly recommend them for adding that extra wow factor to your costume. They truly made my Halloween unforgettable.

These wings are great. When folded they’re pretty unobtrusive, and when flared they’re spectacular. I’m 6’ and wear a 48” jacket and they still look impressive on me. They don’t feel super sturdy, as other reviewers have noted, but I personally didn’t have an issue. If you’re concerned about that, it would be pretty trivial to replace the screws with better ones from the hardware store and replace the strings with thin cables, would be like $5 and 30 minutes of work. The only downside to these is the size of the straps that hold them on. The wings are sized for an adult, but the straps seem child sized. I managed to squeeze them over my arms, but it was a two person effort. This would be easy to fix by getting some cheap nylon strap and making longer straps.

Used these to play a dragon in a play. They were the highlight of the show…besides me, of course ;)

This out of the package is.... ok. But I made some adujustments and fixes and now it's works beautifully! I am modifying this set to make it custom to me and I've seen some awesome mods. So buy it if you know you're going to improve on it. The straps out of the package where too tight and some of it was almost falling apart. If you buy this just as is you maybe slighty disappointed. Despite the flaws it's pretty decent. 3 stars Only for the wings themselves AS packaged. Other then that 5 stars if you modify and fix the straps yourself which is very easy.

Great wings for Halloween. Everyone loves them. Just note that they are wide so going through doors and crowds can be an issue... and the wind can take them when outdoors. But the way people looked at me when I opened them was worth it.

Broke within 2 months.
