Goodyear and Spirit Halloween have partnered on a new Halloween costume shaped like the Goodyear Blimp, priced at $80 and set to launch for the 2026 season. The inflatable, one-size-fits-all outfit includes a battery-powered cooling fan and a matching cap, requiring no crafting or sewing. CNET was invited to preview the costume and take a ride on the actual Goodyear Blimp over Atlanta to mark the collaboration's debut.
Target is again drawing criticism over a Halloween costume in its seasonal lineup, just under two weeks after apologizing for a separate children's costume that critics compared to blackface caricatures. This time, the retailer is not the only company implicated in the controversy, as other sellers are reportedly facing similar accusations.
Target pulled a children's Halloween costume from its website after social media users noted it resembled imagery associated with Jim Crow-era blackface minstrel performances. The retailer apologized following the backlash, which comes about a year after Target scaled back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
