It’s effectively a long sleeve inflatable jumpsuit. A zipper closure on the back makes it easy to get into, and there’s a battery operated fan to keep you inflated. All you need to do is add 4 AA batteries and you’re all set. It’s made by Rubie’s, which has been making costumes like these since 1951, so it knows its way around making great Halloween costumes.

Setting up the costume only takes a couple of minutes. You’re able to see while wearing it because there’s a see-through grid underneath the head of the T-Rex. Your ability to move around may be a little weird, and it may be tricky to drink some dark spooky cocktails through it, but it’s worth it to be the talk of the party. At this kind of price, you’ve got the perfect costume for every occasion, or even simply to make your kids happy at any moment.

The Rubie’s Inflatable T-Rex Costume usually costs $81. Right now, it’s reduced at Amazon to just $23, which is a steal of a price for such a cool and popular costume. The 71% discount is a limited time deal on the site, so it won’t stick around for long. Plan ahead for next Halloween and buy this costume now. You won’t be disappointed!
