Hellboy Full Cut Mens Adult B002R3WVJQ

Hellboy Full Cut Mens Adult Size Costume, Plus Size (Fits 46-52 Jacket Size) - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Interesting, but far from perfect costume
I work on a cruise ship that carries some 6000 people, out of which some 1400 is crew. Most of us does anything between 4-8 months per contract and trust me, after some time, you really need to vent some steam. Thus, back deck parties.

For the record, whatever party you've been on, trust me, it can't hold a candle to crew parties.

Anyway, this one was organized by my dept and I decided to go as...(drumroll)...HELLBOY! Topic was SUPERHEROES AND SUPERVILLAINS so Hellboy fit perfectly.

I went with this costume as it looked quite good on the photo. Oh boy, was I disappointed. Well, not entirely, but...

OK, lets start with PROs:

+ Officially licensed product (hmmmm...)

+ Doesn't look half-bad, once you put it on

+ Headpiece is actually of very good quality, although it tends to get hot under it. Maybe if you actually have hair is different, but I'm bald and trust me, after 2 hours even in a/c area I was sweating...


A lot of defects with the manufacture
The inside layer on the jacket was stitched the wrong way and I had to get it fixed in order to fit my arms. Also, stitches around the jacket were coming loose and the Red Punch looks very cheap.....and no Tail! I feel very disappointed. Since there's no other descent costume around, I'll just have to do my best with it.


Read description carefully before buying.
Luckily for me I had no plans to use the hand that came with this costume. I bought it strictly for the coat. The coat is a vinyl jacket, thin, but with a little bit of airbrushing can look much better. The hand that comes with the cosutme is not really a hand. It is a piece of foam, painted red that attaches to your arm with elastic bands. Very cheap and cheesy looking.
