Childrens Buzz Lightyear Costume - 3 Reason's Why This Costume Is Supremely Clever

You may be thinking, "Really! How on earth does a children's Buzz Lightyear costume get all clever"? Well, it does. Here's
how and why:

1. Simply because your kid is crazy about Toy Story. When you give
this to them, you become even more of a super hero in their eyes. I
can take adoration from my children, every single day. Can you (LOL)?

2. Because your child will learn to be considerate and think of
others. Researchers have found that when children play in imaginative
ways, they are in fact experimenting with different social and
emotional roles. They try different situations out and get to imitate
responses. Some responses feel righter than others. They get a taste
of the other point of view. They begin to understand that people have
different feelings to them, that people can feel differently about one
thing. They also begin to empathize with others.

3. Because your child will nurture and grow their sense of humour.
Remember the creative play we were just talking about? Well sometimes
your child will try on a character for size, and somthing will happen
or a comment will be made that will feel so funny, your child has no
option but to fall all over the place with laughter.

Reason number 3 has to be The Best Reason Ever to instantly deck your
kid out in the full Buzz Lightyear Costume. Or any other costume.

Don't you think?

'Buzz Lightyear Costume Is Waaaay Cool' Asserts 6 Year Old

The Buzz Lightyear Costume is basically an astronaut's suit. With a lot of hero-style gadgetry.

Naturally we don't have to worry about all that pesky hosing and supply-lining. So, like Buzz's suit, you get the main white armor and the gadgetized utility belt - a worthy development from Toy Story 1.

You also get the distinctive cockpit console on the chest, from which Buzz activates the different on-board systems like weapons, instruments, flight ..

Ah .. the flight mechanism. Punch the very obvious red button and juuuuuu! .. out come his wings, BOOM! The jet boosters come alive, and Buzz is away.

Like a real space suit, Buzz's gear protects him from vacuum, extreme heat and cold, extreme pressure, injury. You know the big clear globe over his head? Retractable helmet! How to activate it? Purple button. The one on the side of the chest armor.

There are various other bits and pieces in the suit.

But most important, or so my 6-year old impresses upon me, is the laser cannon. On the right upper arm of Buzz's suit sleeve. "Waaaaaay Coooool"!. Apparently.
