Forum Knight In Shining Armor Complete Costume, Silver, One Size - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 7 customer reviewsThin and falls apart
Overall, the costume was a huge hit at the parties I attended. But, I spent a long time modifying it so it wouldn't fall apart on me. The costume is very thin and uses velcro to hold each piece together. Normal moving around caused the velcro to come unfastened. So, I went to the hardware store and bought snaps (like the ones used to button a pair of pants). Not only did these hold the costume together well, but they were shinny and looked great.
Another modification I made was to cut slits into the face mask. This made it breathable. And it actually looked better this way.
Lastly, the front of the costume is pretty exposed. So, you'll want to wear some shorts over the thing undergarment. The undergarment was pretty cheap anyway so I ended up wearing another body suit instead.
My rating is mixed. I give it 5 stars for the end result and 1 star for the mechanics which averages out to a 3. I would recommend it if you don't mind doing a couple of hours...
Costume Review
Lots of individual pieces. Velcro didn't hold it all together very well. Wound up having to duct tape it together quite a bit.
BUYERS BEWARE!
This costume is NOT 100% METAL as the description states - it is 100% PVC (cheap THIN plastic!!!). I feel totally ripped off b/c I did not get what I paid for! Unfortunately, I have no recourse b/c I had no choice but to use the costume for our homecoming parade since we were out of time to find a better one - now I cannot return it. Sadly, I spent $110 of elementary school PTA funds on a lousy plastic costume worth about $30.
