Disguise Unisex - Adult Deluxe Cobra Commander, Blue/Red/Black, X-Large (42-46) - 2.5 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviewsUgh
Not worth the money by any stretch. The only piece in this set that is worth anything is the helmet and if you look around can you can find the helmet for much cheaper on the internet to the tune of $15. Words cannot describe how rediculous this costume is. Extremely low quality product. 70 bucks? No way. Buy yourself some dark blue PJs or long underwear and glue the cobra symbol on it. Thats pretty much what you get. Not nearly as cool as the picture lets on.
Great costume! ...But not ready to go as is
I have to give this costume at least four stars (and should give it five based on the amount of fun I had wearing it over the long Halloween weekend). Cobra commander is a great character and this set can only be viewed as the starting point of a really superb costume. Its simply not ready to wear straight out of the box :
- its a unitard style not really designed for humans (i.e. no pockets, no way to go to the bathroom - you'd have to take the whole thing off to actually go to the bathroom)
- the belt is only front facing and doesn't extend to the back of the costume.

I cut the unitard in two, giving myself pants and a top, added a black...
Expect something crappy and you won't be disappointed...
I ordered the 10-15 dollar MASK and was severely let down (I was hoping that it was the whole helmet and it was most certainly not, just a face mask with an elastic band) so I ended up ordering this (from another site for a little less).
I knew the costume would be crap, I knew I was going to throw away the "boots" and either cut the legs off the suit or scrap it all together...
The ascot is a joke. It is tiny and velcroes into the collar.
However for the helmet my options were (as far as I know) the 15 dollar mask which I unfortunately purchased (from amazon so I will probably just return it) or the nice 220 dollar helmet on Ebay. Now don't get me wrong, I would love that ebay helmet, but I just don't see me wearing a full coverage helmet in Tucson all too often no matter how cool it is. Or I could drop the 70-80 bucks on this costume.
So I ordered this. I was not disappointed since I had done my research. The helmet comes in 3 pieces. The...
