Rubies Inflatable Dinosaur Costume For Adults, For Themed Party and Halloween

We decided to dress up like Jurassic Park characters. We had Mr Hammond, Ellie, Grant, & even little Blue around Grant's ankle. Then there was this T-Rex. Such an adorable costume. We had an impromptu Jedi vs T-Rex fight at the end. Very entertaining. Costume survived, though it does feel a bit more flimsy than perhaps we expected. Still, it worked great & everyone loved it.

I purchased this for Halloween and it grabbed everyone's attention! I also won best funny costume that day! People just laughed all the time when they saw me tried to make copies or scan documents. It is tough to use those little T-Rex 2 fingers to type email address on the scanner. But I can take them off on my desk to type regular work. If you worry about T-rex head is extended and may not able to fit in your cubicle, simply put the head on top of the monitor to rest so your eye level will be same to the monitor through the view window of T-rex. It indeed was hot inside so you need to keep fan on all the time to feel cool down. When you sit down on the office chair, just make sure to put the fan/wire on the side of waist so it operates well without you sitting down on it. I am 5'2 I bought standard and it fits well except the leg. It doens't full cover to my feet (See photos). TuTu and the bow on the neck were not with the costume. I purchased that separately from other vendors.

It's hard to explain how hilarious this costume is. It's really big when you get it on and inflated, so it has an impressive presence in a room. You can move in it easily since it's full of air and that makes dancing, prowling, popping at people from behind furniture, etc. easy. We did almost break a ceiling during a particularly aggressive jumping attack, so it would be fair to say given its size, it's probably best suited for rooms with vaulted ceilings or the outdoors.

My son loved his Halloween costume!! It was also easy for me to keep track of my son since the costume is so tall. It has 2 windows to look through, so accommodates both kids and adults. My son did not complain being hot in the costume.The only downside is the batteries. First, they don't last long. I had Duracell and had to change them twice during trick-or-treating. Also, the used batteries were so hot I couldn't hold them in my hands, which made me question the safety of the battery pack.

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.

I have to say that everyone loved this costume. It was a huge hit for my sons Halloween activities. Saying that, it embodied the trick or treat mantra because while it was a treat for everyone watching my son, (especially when he ran, jiggling the dino-bootie and when he fell on his back and couldn't get up) he felt a little on the tricked side. Keep in mind, he is 9 yo, but the window did fog up on him, and he had trouble seeing after dark. We finally had him stick his head out the top of zipper and was fine.The costume stood up to a few hours of walking on sidewalks and road, as well as quite a few deflates and reflates. I did have to do a minor repair at the top of the zipper, but to my surprise I was able to sew it, and it held up fine.Overall, it is a great costume, but remember to wear light clothes, because it is warm and it is probably better suited for a party than trick or treating, and is built well. If you are on the line, go for it and get it, you will not regret it.
