at Party City Jurassic World: Blue Velociraptor Inflatable Costume for Adults

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.

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.

So first, we got it and of course the kids wanted to try it on immediately! The costume is for our 9 year old daughter for Halloween, so I got her in it, aired it up and yep it is TOTALLY AWESOME! The arm holes are a bit small, even for a 9 year old, they are on the tighter side, the arms are supposed to be short of course, like on a T-Rex, but how the costume fits pulls them up towards the elbow and since they are so tight, it can get quite uncomfortable or you need to adjust them frequently. The glove's wrist is also on the tighter side, especially for an adult-sized person. Now, if you have stuck with me this far - this is where the fun really begins! So, after our daughter had fun in the costume for a bit, our son wanted to try it on... and this happened... the zipper jammed! I mean, it was S.T.U.C.K! My 18 year old son and I tried for an hour to get it off - we tried bar soap, we tried pencil, we tried liquid soap! The zipper would NOT budge! As much fun as the costume is, it becomes not-so-fun for a 9 year old who is now worried she is going to be a T-Rex forever! I didn't want to rip the costume, and before we contemplated dissecting the poor kid out of it, we waited for her Dad to get home from work (about 30 minutes later). With the help of his trusty leathermans, which actually did not directly influence the release of the zipper, and after a few well-placed cuss words (probably had more affect than the leatherman), the zipper miraculously came unstuck - viola!... no cause for it sticking was found. The 9 year old was grateful to be able to extract herself from the costume and the 18 year old gleefully gave it a try - with caution of course, we didn't zip it all the way up! I am hoping that whip-stitching the top of the zipper will prevent further episodes of involuntary T-Rex confinement-syndrome.

Fun! Bought 2 and we welcomed the troops returning from deployment and everyone had a blast. They fit well, easy to put on and inflate, just all around fun. They seem to be quite durable and can fit a wide variety of sizes. My son, 275# 6'2" was able to fit in it and wrestle with his nephew, with no ill effects to the suit. Material is strong and the zipper is fine. I think if anything ever did go wrong with the suit, it would be a very easy fix. These things seem to be built to last.

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 just tried it on inside so far but seems great. When zipped up before turning on the pump, it seems like it might be claustrophobic but it isn’t at all when you use the pump. FYI the pump is just this little lightweight square with a plastic belt clip connected to it, so it’s pretty easy to clip onto something you’re wearing. Once you zip up and then turn on the pump, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes if that (maybe less than a minute) to fill up. I’m 5’9” and I can put my head at either of the two areas with the clear plastic in order to look out (both around the dinosaur’s neck area). The head and mouth of the dinosaur are above my head completely so it’s nice and airy in there when the pump is going, and it’s even cool inside the dinosaur with the air going. Disclaimer - I haven’t run around in it so I don’t know if that will hold up. The dinosaur arms are pretty short but I think that’s the nature of the t-Rex - it seems like it’d be risky to try to pull your hands/arms up over your shoulders because I just don’t think there’s enough fabric there to allow that without possibly ripping the costume. The dinosaur legs came basically all the way down to my feet. There are holes in the feet, so the costume cinches around your ankles like cinched sweatpants would, and then the dinosaur feet basically overlay your shoes (the dinosaur feet are big enough that they completely cover your shoes so you really wouldn’t see what shoes someone had on). Your shoes then are completely outside of the costume, but everything else is in the costume except your hands and maybe a little part of your wrists/arms, but the costume comes with gloves for your hands. It’s a hilarious and awesome looking costume. I think someone 6’ or so would still probably be able to see through the top of the 2 areas with the clear plastic. Anything higher, you might still be able to fit in the open, airy head part of the dinosaur, but you’d have to scrunch to be able to look out of the plastic I think.

This costume was on my mind when I saw videos of people messing with it (on Facebook). This fit me with room to spare and I am 5'6, 216 lbs. it comes in a small package and unfolds into a sizable mess that looks like a tent at first. Once oriented, I found what looked like an exhaust port on the right side which turned out to be a fan that was incorporated into the costume. Obviously, it is an intake, not an exhaust (or you may suffocate), and so the fan blows air inwards and inflates the costume to a certain extant and then enough air seeps out through the elastic ankle and wrist holes which allow your hands and feet to exit the costume bubble you are in (so you do not have to worry about being overinflated and pop). You need to hunker down in order to get your legs and arms in the sleeves, but once inside, putting it on is a cinch. Just plug in the battery tray with 4 AA batteries (batteries not included) and wait a minute for the body, tail, and big head to perk up with air. There is a plastic window with a nylon net mesh that hides your face but slightly blurs your vision. The feet holes have flaps that hide your feet and footwear with 3 attached felt toenails on each foot. The dinosaur's teeth are also made of felt-like material. The 2 claw-gloves are made of the same non-breathable material, and therefore will likely get sweaty. They also kind of look like lobster pincers, so the claw-gloves would be my only real criticism of this costume. Other than that, the costume is a blast. Maybe not the best for costume parties because it does not have a "casual mode" where you can easily grab a drink or a bite to eat, but you can scare little children as the tall and hungry T-Rex.

Increíble producto 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I love this. I love this. I love this. I originally bought this dinosaur suit as a joke for a close friend’s birthday. I hosted a themed party for her, and as part of the surprise, I had another friend put on the suit and ring her doorbell. Even though you can see the person’s sneakers, the rest of the costume covers well enough that no one could tell who was inside. The dinosaur then "escorted" the birthday girl to her party venue—about 10 minutes away on foot. Along the way, kids kept running up to interact and take selfies. It became an unexpected mini-parade. Once we got to the party, the dinosaur really became part of the entertainment. My friend danced in the suit for a good chunk of the evening and said it was surprisingly comfortable and lightweight, though it did get a bit warm inside after a while. The suit is battery operated with a fan inside that helps to extend the costume's height. At the end of the night, I gifted the dinosaur costume to the birthday girl. She spent the last hour jumping out from behind trees and playfully startling people walking past the venue. It had everyone laughing. Totally worth it for the fun and the memories.

My husband was so pumped for our son’s 3rd birthday, mostly because he wanted to come into the party wearing the costume! It took some time for my son to warm up to it, but now he asks for dad to chase him as a t-Rex! This costume did not disappoint!

Easy to wear. Just know you can wear for Max 45 mins to an hour before you are too hot... wore a tshirt and thin pant under this and I was warm going with the kids trick or treating. The window can fog up so it’s hard to see. My little ones had to help me cross the street! Scared a bunch of teens and adults running the neighbourhood haunted house. This costume is fun and great for a lot of laughs. Takes five minutes to get on and voila instant costume. Will definitely reuse in future. Loved it!

Bought for 11 year old. It fits now with room to grow. Great product although time will tell how long the battery operated fab will last.
