PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Inflatable turquoise Hungry Hippo jumpsuit with wide-open mouth and clear vinyl visibility panel
- Battery-powered fan unit (requires 2×AA batteries, not included)
This Adult Hungry Hungry Hippos Inflatable Costume brings the classic Hasbro tabletop game to life in full-body form. The turquoise hippo suit inflates to create the iconic bulbous silhouette — oversized head with white fabric teeth, red tongue, and that signature "hangry" wide-mouthed expression fans of the 1970s game know instantly.
The battery-powered fan keeps the suit inflated for hours, and the clear vinyl panel inside the mouth opening gives you forward visibility while the head stays puffed. Rounded ears on top, cartoon eyes, and a visible tail complete the game-accurate look. Drawstring closures at wrists and ankles seal the air inside.
Perfect For
Retro & Nostalgia Parties: A natural pick for 1970s-themed events, retro game nights, or any party where childhood nostalgia is the vibe. Instant conversation starter for guests who grew up slamming those hippo levers.
Halloween & Costume Parties: Stand out at Halloween, pub crawls, or stag/hen parties with a costume that's instantly recognizable and impossible to miss. The inflatable silhouette guarantees you'll be the largest person in the room.
Convention & Cosplay Events: Great for comic cons, gaming conventions, or costume competitions where humorous inflatables earn points. The official Hasbro license means it's the real deal, not a knockoff.
How to Wear It
Pair with comfortable sneakers or trainers (costume covers feet but footwear stays visible). Skip bulky accessories — the inflatable does all the work. Insert 2×AA batteries into the fan unit before wearing, then switch on to inflate.
FAQs
Q: What size does this fit?
One-size-fits-most adult design. The inflatable construction adapts to a range of body types. Drawstring closures at wrists and ankles adjust for height and build.
Q: How long do the batteries last?
A fresh set of AA batteries typically runs the fan for 4–6 hours of continuous inflation, enough for a full party or event. Bring spare batteries for all-night wear.
Q: Can I see clearly while wearing this?
Yes — the clear vinyl panel inside the mouth opening gives forward visibility. Peripheral vision is limited by the inflated head, so take care in crowded spaces.
Q: Is this suitable for Book Week if I'm a teacher?
Absolutely. The Hungry Hungry Hippos game has been a family staple since the 1970s and ties to childhood nostalgia themes. It's a fun, high-impact choice for Book Week parades or school events where teachers dress up.
