Halloween // Inflatable Pikachu Costume for a Child? Fan-Inside Ones — Safe or Not?

Looking for advice on choosing an inflatable Pikachu costume that would be suitable for a child, specifically the popular ones that have the small fan built inside to keep the costume inflated. My kid loves Pikachu so this costume which I discovered online and at events will work perfectly for a birthday party he is invited to.

Worried about visibility and overtheating inside the plastic outfit. The fan uses batteries to create continuous airflow but I want to know if the current system provides sufficient cooling for kids who wear the device during 20 to 30 minutes.

I discovered multiple inflatable Pikachu costume options on amazon/alibaba at cheaper prices than local stores which led me to browse through their various listings. Some products appear identical to those available at other stores but I need to assess the material and stitching and fan performance which includes noise levels. My back up plan is just go for the fabric costumes which I think are safer, he's having a fit that he wants to wear the inflatable one because it looks more realistic, but I am really not sure if it will be safe also he will be a the birthday party by himself so I won't be there to keep an eye on him.
