While it's kinda neat to see them doing this stuff, chances are most people won't go trick or treating this year due to the unspecified virus of unknown origin.

Inflatable is the way to go!

Yes, it's pretty much the same body suit. Costumes are a lousy business because few people will spend a lot of money on it since it's practically a one-time-use thing. So you're going to have to produce a product that costs at most $20 for it to sell. Reusing patterns and such helps a lot.
Sure there are a few people who would actually buy more expensive pieces but it's extremely rare. I do have some costumes that cost $500 or $1000 in my Amazon wishlist. Those are for true fans who don't want to go for a custom cosplay commission which would cost a lot more. (Some of us just cannot paint or do any arts and crafts at all).

Maybe not use the muscly body suit for Bumblebee?…
I guess they just use the same sort of body suit as a default for any "super hero" costume, as it's clearly the same as the power rangers ones, just different images printed on.

That Bumblebee is nightmare fuel.
