Spooktacular Creations Astronaut Helmet for Kids with Movable Visor Pretend Role Play Accessory Toy Set Halloween Costumes

positives:It's a very good quality helmet.Fits my very tall 8 year old, and will for a few more years.negative:astronaut helmets are expensive! SMHAs others noted, it's difficult to put the 2 halves of the helmet together. There are several plastic tabs that require a lot of force, and it's difficult to align. HOWEVER, if you use long nosed pliers to pinch the tabs a bit together so they slide easier into the slots, it makes the task exponentially easier. I worked from one side to the other.Once the two halves are put together, it's a cinch to put the visor on.Overall, I recommend if you don't mind the price... just put it together the day before.

Revised review: the company promptly sent the missing part with another helmet. THANK YOU SO MUCH!*********************************The old review: the helmet came without a part- two fasteners are missing, therefore the visor doesn't stay on. When you go to open the visor it falls down.Overall, the helmet was tough to connect, the plastic clips are a bit tight, but doable.If the company sends the fasteners I will give 5 stars.Thank you.

I don't know why more "reasonably good looking" space helmets aren't available. It's a costume that never goes out of style - for kids AND adults! Most you find are a joke. This helmet is one of the best I have found, especially for the price. I bought it for $20.This helmet is obviously intended for kids but adults can wear it too. It's a tight fit but looks pretty good. There are multiple foam pieces on the inside that make it pretty comfortable.Some assembly is required. (Strong hint: Put the two halves together BEFORE attaching the visor. It is MUCH easier that way.) The instructions say it can be disassembled but I was not able to.The plastic seems to be vinyl (though there is no recycle symbol on or in it). The helmet material is around 1/10th of an inch thick and each part is injection-molded, not vacuum-formed like most others. I have a Star Wars storm trooper helmet of the same material and quality. This helmet will NOT fall apart on you.The visor opens with some effort but it stays open. There are small air vents where your chin goes. I guess they make talking with the visor closed a lot more understandable. I'm also sure the visor will fog up without some kind of fan setup, even with the vents. (Something to put in the backpack? Sounds like a fun project!)This will make a great costume piece and a fun display the rest of the time. I am very happy with it.

Pros:Was sterdier than I expected. Originally thought the helmet would be flimsy. Though the face hole plastic does feel like it can be easily broken, but that's to be expected simce that area is thinerDidn't think there would be padding on the inside, but was pleasantly surprised to find padded foam in key areas of the head that needed it. Though I'm glad it's not overly filled with foam since it can get extremely sweatyCons:difficult to assemble. Took one adult and two teens to somehow jam the peices togetherIf you're an adult looking for a cosplay helmet this might not fit you. I'm 5'2 and could fit my head in just fine without my glasses. Though I recommend going in with the sheild already placed up.Again for adult mainly. You may get hot wearing it for long periods and have a slight hard time breathing due to the heat produced from your breathing. For a child this shouldn't be a problem though since it fits younger kids quite lose.The sheild can get a little jammed when trying to push it up. Had a few scares where I thought I was close to breaking it.Someone already mentioned this in another review and posted a picture, but there is a slight gap between the two peices of the helmet. Though i doesn't feel that noticeable for me at least.

My son was excited for this helmet to go with his astronaut costume. It comes in 3 pieces and you snap it together. However, the visor on ours would not snap in place. One side snapped in just fine, but the other side kept popping out. We tried several times to get it to stay but it just wouldn't snap in. My son was disappointed and ended up not using the helmet since it wouldn't stay together. Other than that, he said the helmet was comfortable and had extra room.

I bought this for my 4year olds birthday. It fit him perfectly. It was easy to assemble and a great quality. My son plays with it daily and loves it. It looks adorable on him. It does pull apart occasionally so we have to pop it back to together but my son is also rough on toys so overall it holds up amazing.

This helmet comes in two basic parts, the front and back of the helmet. There are tabs on the back part and slots in the front part that the tabs are to be inserted into. But each of the tabs is too thick to fit into the slots. No amount of pressing or force can get the two parts to join together. I ended up cutting off all of the tabs and then the parts fit together. But I needed to use a combination of super glue, epoxy resin, and even heating the seam from the inside with a soldering iron to effectively "melt" the two parts together. It looks great and is even large enough for me, an adult, to wear comfortably.But unless you're willing and able to do a lot of work to assemble it, you should FIND A DIFERENT HELMET to buy. This one is not worth the effort.
