Carbon Costume

Bugs Bunny is one of the most iconic of the Looney Tunes and has existed in many different iterations, including as a basketball player in Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy.  Playing opposite NBA superstars including Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Bugs must rally his friends to defend the Earth from an intergalactic threat by winning against the Goon Squad on the court.  To dress like Basketball Bugs, you’ll need to start with a rabbit costume like a onesie and layer a basketball uniform over top.  You can add additional details like gloves and slippers, or opt for a set of bunny ears instead of the hood.  Likewise, if you want to take it to the next level, you can sew or glue a rabbit tail to the outside of your chosen uniform’s shorts.

Juuzou (voiced in Japanese by Rie Kugimiya and in English by Maxey Whitehead) is a Special Class Ghoul Investigator from the anime/manga Tokyo Ghoul.

While he looks (and acts) like a character that probably wouldn’t be considered as one of the good guys, Tokyo Ghoul is a series that is fantastic at turning your expectations in character writing on their head, and makes good guys/bad guys a very grey area.

In the early half of the series, Juuzou has chin length wavy creamish white hair, held in place by hair clips arranged to form a XIII, red eyes, and stitches all over his body (self sewn). The outfit he wears is a pale pink shirt with details on the sleeves and colorful buttons, a black undershirt, blue and yellow suspenders, black capri pants with yellow and red patterned leggings underneath, and red house slippers.

Gabriel Agreste (voiced by Keith Silverstein in English) is the main antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.  He has several different iterations, including Hawk Moth.  His Shadow Moth version shares a similar purple color palette, with a few differences.  To recreate this particular villainous look, you’ll need a purple tail coat. Though it may not be possible to find one with the particular peacock-inspired tails of the cartoon original, look for something with a wide collar and a long hem in the back to get as close as possible.  Pair this with darker purple trousers and purple dress shoes as your base.  For his mask, a silver hood can be used and improved with a little DIY; simply color the purple and black found around the right eye hole with some markers.  Add gloves, a fan, and a cane with a dash of purple to complete the look.

Kobeni is a character in the best-selling manga and hit anime, Chainsaw Man. Illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series was serialized in the weekly Shonen Jump for two years until December 2020. Chainsaw Man takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Hired by Makima, she is a Public Safety Devil Hunter. Kobeni was forced to work for the squad to put her older brother through college. She is often frazzled and frightened, though when she gets into action, she displays courage. After encountering the Darkness devil in Hell, she resigns and begins a new job as a server at Family Burger. Kobeni is adored by fans, often referring to her as “best girl.”

Chase Devineaux (voiced by Rafael Petardi) is one of the former agents of Interpol, turned A.C.M.E., from the Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

He is very much the blundering detective type character, but is ready and willing to get the job done once he figures out what side he’s working for.

Chase has short, styled up brown hair, brown eyes, and a dark stubbled face. He wears a white button up shirt, a striped tie, a brown open-front jacket over top, dark slacks, a black belt, and black loafers.

Sammy Lawrence (voiced by Aaron Landon) was a musician and composer for cartoons including those starring Bendy and Alice Angel who became addicted to ink bottles in Bendy and the Ink Machine.  Sammy becomes a monster dipped in ink, his mortal appearance lost to time and memory.  To recreate Sammy’s monstrous appearance, you’ll need a black body suit with a wet look and black boots layered under yellow pants and suspenders.  You can also add details to the pants with black fabric paint.  You may opt to wear a Bendy mask as well (maybe even distress it a little beforehand to make it a little creepier) or carry a foam axe with you as a prop.

Anzu Hoshino (voiced by Rie Takahashi and Deneen Melody) is the main character of the anime and manga series Romantic Killer.  Anzu loves cats, chocolate, and video games, but her life is turned upside down when a wizard named Riri takes away her favorite things and forces her to live her life as if it’s a real-life otome game.  Anzu has messy red hair she wears in a ponytail and while at school, she wears her standard uniform including red sneakers, blue knee high socks, and a cream-colored polo shirt.  Finding an exact match for her skirt can be tricky, so opt for the one you think best represents the original.  Anzu’s casual clothes often include cats, so if you’re chilly and need to add a sweater to your costume, opt for one with a cat print of some kind.

Mindy Melendez (voiced by Jaeda Lily Miller) is the youngest member of the group of friends in Ready Jet Go! A neighbor of Sean and Sydney, despite her young age, Mindy is easily welcomed by the older kids, including alien Jet, even if she’s not quite old enough for space travel at the beginning of the series.  Mindy wears a turtleneck sweater and shorts layered over grey leggings.  If you want to get a little closer to her hat from the show, you can stitch a pair of blue buttons onto your bear beanie.
