My 6 yr old wanted this for his birthday. This is just as awesome as it looks on the box!!Customer Review: Delivers the superhero goods

Ah, superheroes! You were one as a kid and now your own covets the idea of taking out the villainous trash. Enter Mattel, the superhero makers.
My son's never gone gonzo over any toy he's seen advertised--until this one. With his sixth birthday looming, he asked for one toy. You know a kid really wants a toy when he asks for one and only one.
I'm happy to report that Mattel's Superman Inflato Suit is every young boy's dream. Imaginary muscles bristle and the fan-powered fun begins.
Having seen plenty of pretend superhero gear, I expected disappointment with this toy. But Mattel's got a winner.
The suit itself is surprisingly well-made, unlike many costume toys. The stitching is firm, the choice of materials high (the cape alone is an order of magnitude thicker than similar plastic capes in other superhero costumes), the chest decal is also hefty for a plastic "melted-in" logo, and the attachment for the fan is tight and reinforced. Velcro and a nicely made waist cinch keep the air in well. The fan unit is solidly made and has a convenient belt clip.
Yes, like many inflatable props today, a fan powers the Inflato suit. You get some noise, but your child can pretend it's the wind whistling by as he flies to save Jimmy Olson from yet another bungled attempt at snaring the bad guys.
While the TV ads for the suit deceptively show it inflating in about a second--the reality is about six to eight--and the fan does fall out with too much roughhousing, everything about the Inflato suit performs admirably for the price. It does everything it claims and isn't a piece of junk that will disappoint you or your child.
Plus, for sheer parental amusement, there's nothing like watching your bulked-up kid set off to pummel evildoers. And when other kids in the 3-7 year age range see this, their eyes immediately widen and jaws drop. That's magic; you don't see too much of that reaction in today's seen-it-all-before kids.
Makes me want to be six again.
Customer Review: Two boys' review: Cool Superman costume for little boys!
Rating: 4 Stars
The first time we suited up our two sons in these costumes, they stood in front of a full-length mirror and admired their inflated muscles. We've got some great pictures!
The costume is very durable and easy to store. We just hang them in the closet. We've owned two of these costumes for more than a year now. They come in very handy on rainy days, when the boys are confined to the house.
Rechargable batteries help keep down the cost of repeated play; each suit uses four AA batteries so plan ahead!
I recommend pairing the Superman Inflato Suit with the Heat Vision Set and the Superman Bendable Steel Bar with Sound. I've reviewed those products, too. I didn't care much for the Punch N' Crush Gloves because the boys have to punch the air to activate the sound. The steel bar is better and eliminates the possibility of them accidentally punching something or someone.
Customer Review: good for the imagination

This is a great product, in that it brings out the imagination of the child. I had been looking for this item for my kid, but was unable to find it until I fond it here at Amazon. He loves it and even wore it to bed the first night.Customer Review: Superman Inflato Suit

I am pleased with this product. It works well and was a delight to our little five year old grandson who loves Superman. We had no problems with this item. It is definitely a "fun" thing for a little boy to have.
