Men
Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins (aka Colby Lopez) debuted in 2005 and has been making a splash ever since. He signed to the WWE in 2010 when he officially took up the mantle “Seth Rollins”. Prior to that he was Tyler Black with Ring of Honor. But Tyler Black was a long time ago. For the last ten years Lopez has wrestled under the name Seth Rollins. And he’s built up a huge fan following since!
Getting Rollins’ look takes a little bit of DIY. Of course you’ll want to start with a wig and a goatee if you want to get the exact look. And you’ll probably have to style the wig to get his slicked-back style.
From there you’ll want an all-black base to work from. Black leggings, black sneakers, a black bike vest, black leather shin guards, and black knee guards make up the majority of the costume. Then, using gold tape and fabric glue, apply the design Rollins has on his costume. Finish off the look with some black sweatbands and his signature black leather coat and you’re good to go!
Kevin McCallister from Home Alone
Kevin McCallister is the main protagonist of the Home Alone movies. When the family goes on vacation, they forget their youngest member. At first, Kevin uses the accident to his advantage, as it’s any kid’s dream to have the house to themselves. But when two criminals, Harry and Marv, who dub themselves the Wet Bandits, aim to rob the house, it’s up to Kevin to defend it. He sets up various booby traps and tricks to save the day, which makes for hilarious scenes. Macaulay Culkin stars as the clever kid turned hero in every movie except for the third installment.
Make Your Own: Pyramid Head
Silent Hill, a classic horror game that is as psychological as it is gory, made its debut in 1999. Since […]
Bomberman
Bomberman – also known as Shiroban, White Bomber, or Cheerful White, is the main protagonist in the game Bomberman. While the game was originally put out by Konami, Bomberman also makes an appearance as a non-playable character in Super Smash Bros from Nintendo. He doesn’t have much to say but that hasn’t stopped the guy from becoming a fan favorite!
Bomberman’s costume takes a little bit of DIY but it’s worth it for this fun cosplay. Most of the DIY centers on the pink ball above his head. You can copy this look by gluing a lightweight ball to the top of a foam cylinder cut from a longer length of foam. You can then glue the other end of the cylinder to the hood of your body suit or, if you want to use the body suit for multiple costumes, you can glue the cylinder to a white headband.
The rest of the costume is just a matter of layers! A white bodysuit makes up the base while black face paint can mimic Bomberman’s eyes. On top of the body suit you’ll want a purple unitard and a black belt with a gold buckle. Finally add on the pink gloves and pink shoe covers. That’s all it takes to cosplay this jolly little guy. Boom, easy!
John Egbert from Homestuck
John is your typical nerd. Until, of course, he isn’t. He is calm and dedicated to his friends but when pushed too far he will do whatever it takes to protect his people.
John has three looks throughout the comic. The first is an all-white look with a white shirt, shite pants, and white shoes. The shirt has a picture of a creature similar to Slimer from Ghostbusters but is not quite right.
His dream version wears a yellow shirt and yellow pants with a moon decal on the shirt. Blue shoes finish off this outfit. In his god-tier outfit the colors are inverted. A pair of blue pants and a blue shirt with an air curl decal on the shirt make up the majority of his look while yellow shoes finish it off.
In all forms John has black hair that can be mimicked with a wig. And you can either choose to stick with your natural skin ton or use white body paint to get a look like John in the comics.
Rev-9 from Terminator: Dark Fate
In Terminator: Dark Fate, Legion sends a Rev-9 (played by Gabriel Luna) back in time to kill Dani Ramos, who leads the Resistance in the future. A merciless and terrifying machine, the Rev-9 is nearly unstoppable and can remove its dark black metal skeleton from its amorphous outer material to be in two places at once. The Rev-9 can take the form of anyone, and when he first confronts Dani, not only does he look like her father, but he has stolen his clothing as well.
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared is a unique shows. In so, so many ways. And that is part of what makes it such a great cosplay option. That and, of course, the group nature of it! Grab two friends and figure out who will be Yellow Guy, Red Guy, and Duck Guy. Then sit down to a little be of a DIY and enjoy your cosplay!
All three characters require a fair amount of DIY. The nature of the DIY varies from character to character of course. But there are a couple of supplies you’ll need for most if not all of the characters. These include acrylic paint, a glue gun, and ping pong balls.
For Red Guy you will also need some red acrylic yarn and a red beanie to recreate his mask. Just cut and glue lots of red yarn lengths to the beanie and then glue painted ping pong balls on top for his eyes. It will be a little difficult to see through, which is something to take into account if wearing the costume to a convention. To finish Red Guy’s look put on a red jumpsuit and black boots. You’re all set!
Yellow Guy’s version of DIY is a little different. It’s hard to find overalls in that color blue. So your best bet is to buy white cotton overalls and then dye with Rit dye. Once they’re dry you’ll put them on over a yellow body suit and finish the look with white sneakers. Yellow and orange face paint will give you the look of Yellow Guy’s “puppet” head and a blue wig finishes off the look entirely.
Finally there is Duck Guy. You can probably find a mascot head that looks like his but those are expensive. Your best budget bet is to use the acrylic paints and paint either a small crow beak or a “plague doctor” mask to resemble Duck Guy. Wear that over a black hood with a black jumpsuit and black boots and you’re ready to go!
Mr. Lancer from Danny Phantom
Mr. Lancer is a minor character in the Nickelodeon cartoon Danny Phantom. He is a teacher at Casper High, though as a student he was a male cheerleader. He favors the athletes as opposed to Danny and his friends, who therefore often get detention. At first he demands discipline, but laster gets depicted as a devoted educator who takes his job seriously and cares about the students. Eventually he gets promoted to vice principal.
Takeru “T.K.” Takaishi from Digimon Adventure Tri
Takeru “T.K.” Takaishi (voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Johnny Yong Bosch in English) is one of the characters who returns to the Digimon universe in Digimon Adventure Tri, which takes place three years after the preceding series. T.K. embodies hope and is the younger brother of Yamato “Matt” Ishido. During the seventh series in the Digimon anime, T.K. dons his spring and summer school uniforms, consisting of grey slacks, a blue tie, and sometimes a green blazer. If you don’t have hair to match T.K.’s, you can trim a dirty blond anime wig to more closely mimic his appearance.
Patrick Jane (Season Six) from The Mentalist
With the defeat of serial killer Red John behind him at the midpoint of Season 6, Patrick Jane (played by Australian actor Simon Baker) escapes the law to Mexico, where he spends the next two years living the idyllic life of a hermit. His old mind-bending ways are a thing of the past, or so he thinks, as he traipses across scenic beaches in a red sarong, worn Oxfords (with no socks), and custom-made designer shirt (with a noticeable lack of epaulets, his tailor is quick to point out). That is, until the FBI summons him back to the United States to solve a series of cases in return for his freedom. Jane may have returned to active Mentalist duties, but his dress reflects his all the more laissez-faire attitude towards his job of closing cases.
