Below and too the left is how it *should* look..the arms of the shirt must be going past the person's elbow, since on the left of the picture you can see he's bending his arm, and the white part of the arm extender happens after or at the elbow. But the version of shirt I have, the shirt arms only go 5.5 inches, about half way down my biceps. (I'm 5 feet 11 inches tall, 195 lbs)
Also if you look the shirt on the left you'll see the shirt arms are yellow & purple squares, while my shirt's arms and collar have different color patterns. Doesn't matter to me the color differences, but just leads me to believe they made a mistake with the shirt.
Below you can see the shirt, with a tape measure showing it only goes about 5.75 inches before feathering out, thus only going partially down your shoulder/bicep, never reaching your elbow or further...
Another picture this time of the other arm. The costume is really ruined when your real arm/elbow is showing like that.
I think the main problem is the shirt they sent is just wrong... The arm extenders though also look like they have a lot of foam in. Especially the open-hand one, I can only get my wrist in, not any farther. But even if there was less foam in the arms, with the shirt having such small arm sleeves it still wouldn't work.
Anyone else order a creature reacher and have this problem?? The shirt label does say Rubies, with the arm extenders saying Collegeville/Imagineering Enterprises (Masterpiece Series).
I'm going to try and see if the Ebay Seller can help me first, he's a fairly large seller and I believe he drop-ships items directly from a large wholesaler of Rubies I think (it was shipped to me from "Alarming Products" company in Charlotte, NC.
This really sucks because I really wanted this costume to work for a halloween party and am so disappointed after spending so much money to get something that looks totally miss-matched. Has anyone else ever had a problem with a creature reacher costume? Or giggles? Has anyone else who ordered giggles creature reacher got a shirt that has different colors from the advertising picture? All of the reviews of creature reachers I read here previously seemed very positive/supportive.
