Arnold is calm and upbeat with an overall optimistic personality. He often goes out of his way to help others and has a gift for advising others. Throughout the series he has a number of one-sided crushes that would give Taylor Swift a run for her money. While it may be a bit of stretch to reshape your head into a football, you can certainly reshape the wig into the right hairstyle.

Heffer Wolfe in Rocko’s Modern Life
Heffer Wolfe is Rocko’s best friend in Rocko’s Modern Life. Although he has many different jobs, he is more likely to be found munching down a bag of potato chips than working. Despite his size, Heffer is very nimble on roller skates and is well-known at the skating rink. You could opt for a yellow chub suit instead of the bodysuit if you want to be a little larger.
Aeon Flux
Æon Flux is the love interest of Trevor Goodchild in MTV’s animated series, Aeon Flux. Described as an mysterious assassin and secret agent, she constantly tries to destroy Trevor and his plans (sometimes dying at the end of every mission).
The Tick
The Tick (Patrick Warburton) is a superhero in a blue bug suit. Square-jawed, muscular, bright blue-costumed figure with antennae sticking up from his head, The Tick is a surrealistic parody of superheroes. Wear the fake muscle suit under the blue suit for the requisite physique, and download the digital pattern and craft your Tick helmet out of blue foam.
Kenshin Himura
Kenshin Himura is the protagonist of the classic anime/manga/live action film series Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin has spent ten years traveling Japan as a rurouni in search of redemption, carrying a sakabatō with the vow to never kill again. Kenshin Himura voiced by Mayo Suzukaze in the original Japanese anime and Richard Cansino in the English dub is a kind-hearted traveler. He is secretly also the swordsman known as Samurai X. He fights for justice, and to protect those that are weak. He does not kill his enemies and therefore either has a wooden sword or reverse blade sword on him at all times. You will need to add a little texture and tease the wig with a comb for extra volume then tie it up in a low ponytail. Create the X scar using special effects makeup and you’re ready for a cosplay event during any season.
Shishio Makoto
Shishio Makoto is the main villain of the Kyoto arc of the classic anime/manga series Rurouni Kenshin. He is a former hitokiri that seeks to overthrow the Meiji government, coming into conflict with Kenshin Himura
