Cartoons

Bow from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Bow (voiced by Marcus Scribner) is one of the central characters in the cartoon series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.  As an ally to the Princess Alliance, Bow uses his skills as a master  archer and his technology prowess to help She-Ra, Glimmer, Frosta, Spinnerella, Netossa, and the rest of the Alliance as they work to free Etheria from the Horde.  Bow’s original costume includes purple pants, knee-high boots, and a cropped tank top, while his future uniform has grey pants and a cape.  If you want to add some details to Bow’s boots to make them look more like the original, don’t be afraid to get creative with some paints or colored tape.

Molly McGee from The Ghost and Molly McGee

Molly (voiced by Ashley Burch) is the perpetually upbeat tween at the heart of the Disney Channel series The Ghost and Molly McGee.  Molly becomes a companion to Scratch, a grumpy ghost who has been cursed to spend time with her.  Molly enjoys singing, picnics in the park, and striving to make the world a better place.  Her outfit consists of a denim vest, colorful skirt over bike shorts, and bright high top sneakers.  Finding a skirt to match Molly’s can be tricky, so go for  a palette that’s close or a similar silhouette.  A longer skirt can always be shortened if you find one with the perfect colors.

Tombstone

Tombstone

If you need someone assassinated in New York — and you’re in good with Kingpin — then you want Tombstone.  Anyone who remembers him as Lonnie Thompson Lincoln knows better than to call him by his real name. He’s spent his life becoming one of the most feared men in the city and it’s a reputation he’s all too happy to reinforce over and over again.

Tombstone’s look is, thankfully, easy to achieve than his reputation. Because Tombstone’s pale skin and white hair are a result of albinism, it may be offensive to recreate them with makeup. Instead you can get his look with a sharp suit, colorful shirt, dark tie and matching shoes. Then all you need is a set of sharp fake teeth to recreate the points Tombstone filed his into and you are ready to take our Kingpin’s enemies. Just watch out for those pesky heroes.

Head Pixie from Fairly OddParents

Head Pixie from The Fairly OddParents

Some might know him best as Ferris Bueller’s unimpressed teacher. But a whole generation of children grew up knowing Ben Stein as the voice of the ever unimpressed Head Pixie. If it’s not dull, bland, and boring, he isn’t happy. And when that happens it’s bad news for Wanda, Cosmo, and Timmy.

H.P.’s look is pretty easy to get (and, as an added bonus, full of pieces that can be used for daily wear or with other cosplays) with the exception of his hat. Because it’s so unique you will have to DIY it. Cut a two grey stars out of softer, lightweight felt. Glue them together with a thin, piece of clear plastic between them. Then take flexible grey foam and shape it into a cone large enough to wear as a hat. Glue the edges down with hot glue, making sure to leave a small hole at the top of the cone. Stick the end of the plastic rod into the hole and adjust the height of the star over the hat. Trim off most of the excess inside but leave a small amount to anchor with hot glue. Fill the remaining space around the plastic rod with hot glue. Finally, take a dark grey marker and draw on the swirls around the bottom of his cap.

Once you’ve got the hat, the rest of his costume is fairly straight forward. Fake eyebrows give you something close to the white bars that H.P. sports while small wings, fake glasses and white hair spray take care of your hair and accessories. Finish off the look with a grey suit, white button down, black tie, and black shoes. If you want purple contacts to really go all-in, make sure that you get them through an eye doctor. If they’re not properly fitted to your eye shape, cosmetic contacts can do serious damage.

Legoshi from Beastars

Legoshi (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi and Jonah Scott) is a grey wolf and the main protagonist of the anime and manga series Beastars.  Legoshi is mild-mannered and polite, despite his outward appearance being very intimidating.  Legoshi’s standard attire is fairly simple, but you’ll want to layer your striped pants and dress shirt with wolf accessories to best exemplify Legoshi’s character design.  Thankfully, you won’t need to worry about wearing any strange footwear because he sports a pair of plain brown dress shoes instead of lupine feet.
