California CostumesWicked Wings Accessory

Costume must have. Back mechanism is encased in a thin plastic rectangle that is black. Best to camouflage by wearing over a black shirt or hoodie a seen in photos. Still comfortable and functional. Armholes are black elastic. Easy to use. Good quality for item price. Not heavy.

My daughter had these. They are the black pair. She loved them. You Wear them like a back back. The strings are in the back. They are a little long for kids but my daughter just grabbed the string and not the plastic loops at the end. I had to remind her to open them GENTLY. they are good and sturdy but the mechanics that make the wings open are fragile I had to find the tiny screw and re screw my daughters back in from her opening them to hard.I had the bigger pair (red pair) those were better suited for adults. Bigger wingspan. Either way the black would work for adults as well the back was large enough and arm loops were tooLoved this product for the price! I would buy again.

It was surprising how small & light the package was, so when they came off the cardboard (after having read other reviews), it was another surprise to see how the back panel folds in the center to make for smaller storage, & how well they worked! (Once I figured out that the strings were meant to be crossed. ;)) I tried them on once, terrified that the arm straps would break, but they survived the first test flaps, & upon wearing them out tonight (on Halloween), they not only survived a second go, but folks got a kick out of my flapping wings as I side-stepped between people at the packed karaoke bar. ^_^The horned tips are hollow on one side, which I find a little strange (given the sturdiness & overall quality of the hard plastic both they & the main backplate are made of), & it definitely cheapens the look & feel of them, but between the thickness of the straps & hearty, thick plastic of the framework, I'm pretty impressed! Not bad for $25!The one improvement/change I'd make is the length of the arm straps. If you're bigger person or have broader shoulders, these night be tough to get on & rather pinchy/circulation-impairing thought the night/wear time. Given that these are for adults, it would be rad if the straps were either longer or adjustable. But I'm thinking of slipping another black elastic through them & tying that around my ribcage next time, so they're easier to put on & more comfortable to wear. :) (And so they can be positioned a bit lower on the back, as they have a habit of gradually riding up & forward, since they're just a hair tight. I'm hoping this'll put less stress on the strap moorings as well, when putting them on & taking them off.) :)The tight straps & hollow horn tops are minor, but the only reason why I'm giving these 4 instead of 5 stars. Still, overall I'm really impressed! These may not be super fancy, but they're definitely fun, totally do the trick for informal events, & overall are pretty neat! 🥰 Love the curvy design of the wings & tips, too! 💙 Perfect for a succubus or demon costume. 🥰

They feel super light and open with great ease. I may buy them on other colors

As noted by other reviewers, straps are kinda small. Hard to get in and out of this thing by yourself.Arrived with one wing non-functional because the nut was missing that holds the bolt onto the joint the wing swivels on.This was a lucky break, though, because I ended up going to the hardware store and replacing it with a slightly larger diameter nut and a longer bolt.When I tightened it pretty tight, it made it so that the wing stays up after you let go of the cord and it won't drop back down unless you physically move it with your hand. I liked this effect better, so I replaced the nut and bolt on the other wing as well.It looked pretty cool walking around with the wings fully extended the the little cords tucked into my clothing so they were hidden from sight. By the end of Halloween night the wings were looking a bit roughed-up, though, from banging them on things. We were overseas, and I opted just to throw them away rather than try to bring them back to the states and try to make them last another Halloween (I don't think they would hold up)

The media could not be loaded. I was kinda skeptical because of the reviews but hey they do what i need them to do so! 10/10

The media could not be loaded. I live the idea, but the execution is awful. Super cheap materials. Broke when my son tried it on and wore it for 3 minutes. I fixed it, but when he wore it to school for a costume contest it broke again, to be fixed again. Then it broke a 3rd time before we made it off our first street trick or treating. Super disappointed. Waste of money. Better design n materials would make this 5 stars.

I got this to mess with my turkeys on the farm but it's also been fun scaring my fake Bible thumper neighbor
