Caillou
Four-year-old Caillou (voiced by Annie Bovaird) is the bald-headed protagonist of the Canadian PBS Kids’ show Caillou. Caillou is often considered the bane of parents of young children because his antics on the show are considered spoiled and bratty by many adults. Caillou’s outfit consists of bright primary colors. If you choose to include a hat like Caillou’s, you can purchase a novelty baseball cap with multicolored panels like the one shown here and remove the propeller, as finding a standard cap with multicolor panels can be difficult.
Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail
Erza Scarlet (voiced by Sayaka Ohara and Colleen Clickenbeard) is an S-Class Mage in the anime series Fairy Tail. She is a member of Team Natsu and a former partner of Gray Fullbuster. Erza has long red hair and an artificial right eye. She wears her Guild Mark on her upper left arm, though it is mostly covered by her armor. Erza wears custom silver armor, a blue skirt, and black boots. A replica sword and armor can be cost prohibitive, but by layering a silver bustier with smaller metal armor details and using a similar-looking sword, you can evoke Erza’s costume feel at a lower price point.

Albert Pratt known by superhero alias The Atom was a small but mighty Golden Age hero who premiered in DC Comics in the 1940s. Al was a scientist and athlete proficient in hand-to-hand combat. His character later went on to acquire atomic strength (which coincided with a modernized costume that covered more skin than the original bare-legged version). While he has undergone several iterations, most of his costumes include bright yellow, blue, and red, making him a colorful choice for those interested in a bold look.
