A Bewitched History
Your kiddo has been pretty obsessed with the Wizard of Oz lately. And that’s cool, there’s a lot of interesting history and hidden depths to that story. For instance, did you know that the Tin Man is actually a guy named Nick Chopper, who was a lumberjack in the forests of Oz? And for some reason, the Wicked Witch of the West enchanted his axe to gradually chop off all his limbs (don’t ask us). And then some Munchkins put him back together with tin each time a limb was lost until he was just entirely tin? Oh, you’re kiddo knew all that? Well, you’ve got yourself a bona fide Oz expert who should maybe don this Child Tin Man Costume the next opportunity they get!
And why not? The Tin Man was always the kindest and the most empathetic out of all of Dorothy’s companions, despite not having a heart at all! That sounds pretty sweet to us.
Fun Details
The good the news is that your kid won’t have to lose any limbs to wear this Tin Man costume. The even better news is that this officially licensed costume is made of shiny material and foam pieces, so your kiddo won’t have to carry any heavy metal around! The shirt secures in the back and has printed details in the front, while the matching pants stretch to fit and have printed rivet details. The included headpiece has the instantly recognizable funnel design on top and a large opening for the face. The best news of all is that you won’t need any oil to keep your little one’s joints moving, even in the rain!
A Great Story
As we’re sure your kid knows, after Dorothy leaves Oz, the Tin Man continues to have a fascinating story involving a tin castle and becoming a king. We mean, sure, we bet the Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow have great stories too, but let’s be honest, the Tin Man had the heart that captured us all!
