Helen Park from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Helen Park (voiced by Lily Cowles) is a character in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. She is an MI6 agent eventually recruited to join Russel Adler‘s team. To recreate her costume, you’ll need a short black wig, brown shoes, and straight leg jeans to start. Then, layer a bomber jacket over a chunky knit sweater and black turtleneck. Helen also wears an army green utility belt, which you can customize with as many compartments as you need.
Sylvester the Cat from Looney Tunes
Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. (originally voiced by Mel Blanc) is one of the Looney Tunes. A black and white cat, Sylvester has a lisp and uses the catchphrase, “Sufferin’ succotash,” often during his skirmishes with Tweety Bird. To recreate Sylvester’s look, you have a few choices. Replica costumes do exist which include a full-head mask designed to closely resemble the cartoon character. Pair this with white animal paw gloves and slippers to complete the look. Alternately, if full-face masks aren’t your thing, you could use a black and white onesie with the same gloves and slippers, and simply add a black and white cat tail and ears to your costume. As long as you take the time to memorize Sylvester’s signature phrase, there will be no doubt which cat you’re trying to emulate.
Uzi from Murder Drones
Uzi Doorman (voiced by Elsie Lovelock) is the protagonist and anti-heroine of the web series Murder Drones. Uzi is a Worker Drone who befriends Serial Designation N. They work together to stop Serial Designation J from eradicating the Worker Drones. Uzi has purple hair and wears a black striped beanie, purple striped socks, and black boots. Her primary clothing consists of a black hoodie with a battery and crossbones on it. You can recreate your own with a long hoodie and some fabric paint, or purchase a replica sweatshirt to pair with your robot bodysuit.
Elephant Mario from Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Everyone’s favorite plumber gets a new power-up in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. When Mario transforms into his elephant form, he becomes even stronger than usual and can store water in his trunk to shoot at enemies. To recreate Elephant Mario, you’ll need to decide whether you want to wear a full face elephant mask or opt for a costume set that includes ears, a nose, and a tail. To emulate his larger size, you can wear a fake belly if you decide to, just make sure to order a red shirt overalls a few sizes larger to accommodate it. Finalize your look with Mario’s signature red hat, a pair of white gloves, a bushy mustache, and a pair of elephant feet slippers.
Kevin Swanson from Family Guy
Kevin Swanson (voiced by Scott Grimes) is the son of Joe and Bonnie Swanson on the animated series Family Guy. Kevin returns on Thanksgiving from a long hiatus on the show as a veteran after he’s been thought killed in action for a long time. During his return, Kevin wears dark jeans, black shoes, and a tan military jacket over a white t-shirt. Once he’s settled back into Quahog, he dons lighter jeans, white shoes, and a green v-neck sweater.
Dudley Do-Right
Dudley Do-Right (voiced by Bill Scott in the cartoon from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and played by Brendan Fraser in the live-action comedy) is a lovable member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Dudley means well and works hard, but is perhaps not the sharpest tool in the Mounties’ shed. When creating your Dudley Do-Right costume, you’ll first want to make sure you start with the signature red jacket worn as part of his uniform. The original cartoon iteration of Dudley also has a red hat, black boots, and blue pants that puff out around his hips. The live-action version wears striped pants, brown gloves and boots, a tan hat, and a cross-body holster.
Serial Designation N from Murder Drones
Serial Designation N (voiced by Michael Kovach) is a kindly Disassembly Drone who befriends Uzi Doorman in the web series Murder Drones. The two then work together to stop Serial Designation J from eradicating the Worker Drones. N, as he is commonly known, wants nothing more than to be useful, and empathizes with Uzi and her fellow Worker Drones where other Disassembly Drones do not. N wears a long coat over his white drone body. His eyes and lights that halo his silver hair glow yellow. You can recreate this by adding glow-in-the-dark stickers to a black chauffeur’s cap and wearing light-up glasses. N also has a long black tail that ends in a syringe. Use hazard tape to add some details to your costume.
Kaoru Matsubara from Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z
Kaoru Matsubara (voiced by Machiko Kawana and Kelly Metzger) is a member of the titular crime-fighting group in Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z. Karoru is athletic and popular, but often feels disconnected from her friends Momoko and Miyako because of her lack of interest in typically girly things including clothes and love stories. Kaoru’s color palette consists of green and yellow, and her alter ego Powered Buttercup wears a green dress, green shoes, and a yellow vest. To recreate her look, you can cut the sleeves off a letterman jacket and add your own letter “P.” You can also use navy blue and green fabric paint to add details to the dress and alter the white parts of the jacket to green, though you’ll still be recognizable even if you don’t feel like busting out a paintbrush.
Yoosung Kim from Mystic Messenger
Yoosung Kim is a character in the otome game Mystic Messenger. Yoosung doesn’t spend as much time studying for his college courses as he should because he plays the addictive computer game LOLOL. Yoosung has dyed blonde hair that he pins back on one side with two hairpins. Yoosung’s everyday outfit includes brown pants and shoes, a shirt with green, blue, and tan stripes, and a blue overshirt which he wears unbuttoned. He accessorizes with several pins including a red star and yellow smiley face.
Miyako Gotokuji from Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z
Miyako Gotokuji (voiced by Nami Miyahara and Marÿke Hendrikse) is one-third of the Powerpuff Girls in Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z. Miyako is popular at school, often the object of affection for boys in her grade. She is friends with Momoko and Kaoru, who fight alongside her heroine alter-ego Rolling Bubbles. Miyako’s crime-fighting costume consists of shades of blue. You can recreate her look with a blue pleated dress and matching high tops paired with a letterman jacket you’ll need to cut the sleeves off. Her accessories include a choker necklace, fingerless gloves, and a white belt. You can add darker accents to her clothing with a fabric marker and use an iron on patch to add the letter “P” to her jacket.
