just ok
this is ok - i think if it could clip onto the Ironman 'muscle' costume, it would be great, but it can't cause of the muscle-fluff in the chest.

Not actually functional.
Long story short, I ended up with some iron shrapnel embedded in my chest a few years ago. I've been using a small magnet to try to keep the pieces from piercing my heart, but when I heard about this product, being familiar with the Iron Man story, I thought it might serve as a perfect more permanent replacement. Little did I know that this was not actually a functional arc reactor but rather some cheap plastic replica with a light bulb inside.

So, giving it the benefit of the doubt, I tried it out anyway, inserting it into the hole in my chest where I normally place the magnets, and I ended up getting rushed to the hospital. I'm lucky I didn't die.

In summary, it's cute as a child's toy, but DON'T BUY IT IF YOU ACTUALLY NEED AN ARC REACTOR. It's back to the drawing board for me, I guess.

Very novel and pretty fun
I'll admit that I bought this for myself and not a kid, but it's a pretty nifty thing.

When you press the center of it, it lights up amber (think "yellow traffic light" color) and makes cool energy "power up" noises. I think there are three different noises.

The way it sticks to your shirt is that there's a plate that snaps off the back - you see it as a little red "ring" around the bottom in the product picture. You put the plate inside your shirt and the arc light snaps into it from the front of your shirt. It works really well with t-shirt weight material, but it might be tight with a sweatshirt, and you definitely wouldn't be able to get it on a sweater. There aren't any magnets the way I read on other web sites - it's just that snap-in plate.

I can see if you were wearing a looser shirt and jumping around then the momentum of it might work the light enough that it would pop off, but I've moved it around pretty hard to see how well it attaches and it's pretty well attached.

I have to give it novelty points because you can attach it to your own shirt and that mechanism works well. Usually with these things they're attached to some sort of one-size-fits-all thing that doesn't fit anyone - child or adult. With this, you can use it with any Halloween costume or whatever you want. Really cool.

I'd give it a full five stars if the light was white or whitish-blue the way it was in the movie, or if it was just a little bit thinner - it's about an inch deep and sticks out slightly more than I feel it should. Otherwise I dig it.

They made the lights yellow :(
Sticks to shirts ok. My nephew ran around with it on for quite a while without it falling off. I was very upset that they made the lights yellow instead of white. Even the promo shots (on other Iron man toys) shows it as white. Although I knew it was yellow because I tested it before purchase. But still :(
