The yellow-beanie-and-goggles henchman look is one of the most popular kids' costumes around, and the WISHTEN set gives it a twirl-ready twist. Along with the yellow beanie, goggles, gloves and suspenders, it adds a fluffy three-layer blue tutu, making it a favorite with girls who want to be the character and wear a skirt.

It has a 4.6-star rating from more than 500 buyers, who call it cute and great value.

Who it's for

Girls roughly 3 to 12 who love the famous yellow henchmen.
Family and sibling costumes. Pair it with the adult CONGRU yellow beanie set for matching parents.
School parades and dance parties. Buyers say it's comfortable for moving and dancing.
Budget-conscious parents. Five pieces for the price of one costume.

What we liked

Adorable look. The tutu adds personality and plenty of photo appeal. Buyers love the design.
Comfortable for active kids. One parent notes it was easy to move and dance in.
Five pieces: beanie, goggles, tutu, suspenders and gloves. Just add a yellow T-shirt.
Flexible tutu size. An elastic waistband fits 18.8–37 inch waists.
Adjustable suspenders with three metal clips, and goggles with foam pads.
Great value. It's consistently praised for the price.

What could be better

Goggles are the weak point. Several buyers say the goggles break quickly and the elastic band comes off too easily.
Suspenders can fall apart with rough play.
Gloves are big for small hands.
Quality is mixed. Most love it, but some find it disappointing. Treat it as a one-season costume.

What's in the box, explained

Yellow beanie (11.6 x 7 in): stretchy, comfortable.
Steampunk goggles (5.3 x 2.6 in): plastic with foam pads.
Blue tutu (12.2 in long): three fluffy layers, elastic waist.
Blue suspenders: adjustable with metal clips.
Black gloves (7.4 x 3.1 in): one size.

Tips for parents

Add a yellow long-sleeve top and black or yellow leggings underneath.
Reinforce the goggle strap with a couple of hand stitches or a dab of fabric glue before the big day.
Tape or pin the suspender clips so they stay put during play.
Swap in smaller gloves for toddlers and preschoolers.
Pack a spare hair tie to hold the goggles strap if it slips.

How it compares

Kids' versions of this costume come as jumpsuits, dresses or accessory sets. The WISHTEN set is an accessory kit with a built-in "dress" element, the tutu.

Versus the CONGRU adult set: CONGRU is the grown-up version, without the tutu. Buy both for matching family photos.
Versus jumpsuit costumes: jumpsuits are hotter and harder for kids to take off for bathroom trips. This set is easier and more flexible.
Versus princess or fairy costumes: the tutu gives girls the "dress" feel they often love, while still being a funny, recognizable character.

For families going as a group, this set plus the adult version makes one of the easiest, cutest matching costumes out there. Just give the goggles a little reinforcement before the big day.
