With the upcoming release of the Toy Story 3 Blu-Ray and DVD, it’s no doubt that the streets will be filled with a copious amount of trick or treating Jessies, Woodys, and Buzz Lightyears. As a well-loved franchise for years, Toy Story has captivated kids for years, so it’s really no surprise that they want to be their favorite characters for Halloween.
Disguise, a division of Jakks Pacific, has a fun lineup of costumes this year, including our Toy Story favorites like Jessie, Woody and Buzz. Their costumes are affordable and as realistic as store-bought costumes can get.
We were sent Buzz Lightyear, and I was impressed with the details on the fabric. The leg and arm pieces gave the costume more definition and believability. The colorful buttons on the front convinced the kid that he could push on them, just like his toy Buzz. To complete the package, there’s a variety of Buzz Lightyear accessories that can be purchased separately.
As with most costumes that can be found at a store, the quality isn’t meant to withstand more than a few costume changes. It’s not meant for everyday use, which is quite unfortunate for my guy who loves to dress up like his favorite super heroes. The costume size I requested fit the kid well, aside from the hood. The poor guy has a big head, so it was difficult at times to pull Buzz’s hood on and off. But good news, we liked the Disguise costume so much, or rather, the kid loved Iron Man just as much as Buzz, that we bought the Iron Man 2 War Machine costume, which is also from Disguise. It’s safe to say, we’ll have at least two costume changes this weekend.
If you don’t already have the kids’ costumes, be sure to check out Jakk’s Disguise line, which boasts many of the beloved toys and characters that are popular right now. From The Princesses to My Little Pony to Super Why to Sesame Street, Disguise offers an extensive range of costumes for babies to big kids.
There’s still time: you can find Disguise costumes at your local Party City and more.
