Star Wars Darth Vader (TM) Child Costume Dark Lord of the Sith

Battle the Rebel Alliance as Lord Vader himself! Our costume is complete with injection-molded facemask, flowing black cape, printed jumpsuit and a 3-D utility belt. A great Halloween costume!
Customer Review: Good & Bad points re Mask
My son loved this costume though he wished the mask covered the back of his head too (just like the real Darth Vader). To remedy the problem, we planned to attach a black cloth on it but decided not to in the end since the adhesive might damage the mask. Anyway, the mask is sturdy and made of hard plastic unlike the other masks we got with some costumes before. Overall, it's a good deal to get this costume (except for shipping costs).
Customer Review: uniform
Don't waste your money. The mask hurt my son's face. It wasn't even dollor store quality. Sorry, I usually do not give bad reviews.


It is Tuesday before Thanksgiving and your home is a buzz with excitement. Now is the time for a cool head and to start the cooking. It may be hard to resist the temptation to taste all the pies and treats a bit early but you can resist. You may even be so inclined as to make a little extra for your family to sample early. This is a sly method of keeping happy forks from eating the pies two days before Thanksgiving.

Two days before Thanksgiving:

Now is the time to make pumpkin pie, parker house rolls and the stuffing for your turkey. You can refrigerate the pies and stuffing and then pull them out the day of Thanksgiving.

Stick with making only the pumpkin pie and other non-pie desserts. This is not the time to make apple or pecan pie. The crusts of these two pies will not hold up for two days in the refrigerator.

If you will be having a first course soup such as pumpkin soup this can be made two days in advance of Thanksgiving. You can also make up casseroles and cranberry sauce at this time.

Sweet potatoes can be prepared at this time and stored in the refrigerator until Thanksgiving. With the sweet potatoes and casseroles simply prepare them in their baking dishes and wait to cook them. They will easily transfer from the refrigerator to a pre-heated oven on Thanksgiving and give you an almost seamless meal preparation.
