Whether for Halloween or a costume party, the Buzz Lightyear costume is a good choice for "Toy Story" fans searching for a fun, adventurous character to dress up as. And with Buzz as its star, the recent movie "Lightyear" provides a reason Buzz Lightyear costumes are likely to be especially hot this year.
The Disney Pixar Buzz Lightyear Light-Up Costume is the best to take you to infinity and beyond.
Buzz is a space ranger superhero action figure come to life, debuting in the classic 1995 Pixar-Disney animated movie, "Toy Story." Since then, he's appeared in three more "Toy Story" movies, a direct-to-video film in which he starred and its spinoff TV series, and this year's movie "Lightyear." First voiced by Tim Allen, he has also been voiced by Patrick Warburton and Chris Pratt.
Some Buzz Lightyear costumes are tailored for children while some are made for adults.
If you're buying a Buzz Lightyear costume or any other Halloween costumes for kids, keep in mind that they will most likely be running around or playing in it. So buy a costume that's comfortable and easy to move around in. This often depends on the material used and of course, the size.
Some Buzz Lightyear costumes come as a complete set, while some come in different parts with detachable accessories that are sometimes sold separately. These detachable parts help you put the costume together to your own taste, depending on if you are going for the complete look or just as a resemblance to the character. It is best to go for a costume with more accessories, as it gives your appearance more life and authenticity.
Pick a costume that's safe to wear when accidents are prone to happen, such as Halloween. It should be made of a material that's flame-resistant — for instance, nylon or polyester. A well-made costume shouldn't have loose threads hanging out, as that also increases the chances of an accident. And look out for smaller detachable parts in baby costumes, as they might be choking hazards.
You should be able to wear a good costume several times without signs of wear and tear. Durable costumes are often somewhat thick and heavy, not made of thin, frilly material that's likely to tear. Also, look for stitches that hold well — they'll keep the costume from unraveling when it's worn.
A good-quality costume can be easily adjusted or altered to give you a more comfortable fit. Buckles, straps, Velcro patches or extra buttons can help with this, but they shouldn't affect the costume's overall design.
Expect to spend about $25-$80, based on the costume's materials, accessories and elaborateness.
A. You probably can. However, be sure to check the washing instructions on each costume as this may vary.
A. Most costumes are reusable depending on how well they are made.
