Carbon Costume

Dr. Animo is a mad scientist. And you can take that just about any way you want. He’s angry. He’s reckless with his science. And, well, his conversations with his stuffed mutant toys are a little involved. Voice by Dwight Schultz, Dr. Animo is no fan of Ben or his family. And he will stop at nothing to mutate the whole world until it fits his vision!

Dr. Animo has several different costumes but they all share a similar base. A dark grey tank top and brown pants that tuck into tall black boots. Two boot options are listed above, one that is more of a riding boot and the other is a pair of rain boots. Each has its uses depending on where you’re going to wear the costume and which works better for your needs.

In addition to that base you’ll need tall black gloves that you remove the fingertips from and either a silver circlet for your head or a colander that you can make antennae for using tin foil. The foil won’t create an exact match but it’ll get you close without needing a welder! He has other gear including a headset and a chest harness that you can get close to using the items listed above.

Other versions of Dr. Animo wear a long green cape over a bare chest instead of the tank top and chest harness. You’ll have to tatter the edges of the cape by hand, however.

Lars Barriga is a minor character in the Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. He formerly resided in Beach City as an employee at the Big Donut. He was in a relationship with his co-worker, Sadie. Prior to his abduction to the Gem Homeworld, he was a normal human. When found dead, Steven resurrected him with his healing powers. As a result, similar to Lion, he turned pink and obtained magical abilities. Following his resurrection, Lars traveled the galaxy as a captain with the Off Colors, a group of misfit Gem fusions. He has the same goal as the Crystal Gems: to rebel against the Diamonds and protect Earth. In Steven Universe: Future, he returns to Beach City to visit Steven, and is at peace with his break-up with Sadie. A popular and widely accepted fan theory is that Lars is transgender. As you can see, Lars has many outfits to choose from, each representing a different point in his life. Featured are his human look, his space captain look, and post-series look.

In Code Lyoko, he might go by Frank Hopper but this ingenious scientist’s real name is Waldo Franz Schaeffer. He has had three voice actors and one live-action actor across different seasons and incarnations of the show. In this write-up we’re taking a look at his most common cartoon appearance since it makes for an easy and comfortable costume. Best of all, all of the pieces can be used either for day to day wear or for many, many other cosplays and costumes!

All you need to copy Hopper’s outfit is a brown turtleneck, black slacks, brown shoes, and a lab coat. Add in a shaggy grey wig and some costume glasses and you’re good to go! A quick note on the glasses: If you don’t like the frames listed above or they don’t fit properly, you can snag a pair of reading glasses from a store and remove the lenses. They will probably run you between $10 and $20 and are a versatile piece to keep in your costume or cosplay collection.

Goo is a character in Cartoon Network’s Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends. She is banned from Foster’s house due to her overactive imagination. Goo is rather odd, yet extremely talkative. Sometimes she can come off as obnoxious, but she is capable of being friendly, due to her energetic and playful attitude. To add to the look, style your hair in three braids with multicolor hair ties.

Agent Six (voiced by Wally Kurth) is the sixth most dangerous man in the world, the top agent at Providence, and the person assigned to protect Rex Salazar.  Six is a stoic man who wears a green suit and sunglasses.  While he wields a number of different weapons, his preferred choice are a pair of magna blades that fold up for storage.  He keeps these in his sleeves so they are readily available when he needs them.  Unless you can build a set of your own, you may have to settle for a pair of standard short swords instead.

On the cartoon sitcom The Jetsons, George (voiced by George O’Hanlon) is the husband of Jane and father of Judy and Elroy.  Though he is a loving and devoted family man, he often finds himself and his family in ridiculous situations because of poor decisions he has made.  George’s outfit consists of a white shirt with popped collar, green belt, and blue pants.  By trimming a Ziggy Stardust wig, you can achieve George’s trademark orange hair.

Bismuth is a character in Steven Universe. She is a former and current member of the Crystal Gems. During the Rebellion, she worked as a blacksmith, but then she got into a conflict of interest with Rose Quartz. Bismuth got bubbled and remained in the Pink Dimension until being freed by Steven. She proposed the same idea that she had to Rose: the Breaking Point, a weapon that could shatter any gems, even Diamonds. Like his mother, Steven rejected this idea and after an intense battle, he bubbled Bismuth again. He brings her back in the final fight against Homeworld, where she rejoins the Crystal Gems. Uzo Aduba, who you might recognize from Orange is the New Black, voices Bismuth. This costume requires some sewing. Sew the pink star onto the apron and the black star onto the right arm of the bodysuit.

Judy Jetson (voiced by Janet Waldo) is the daughter of Jane and George, and older sister of Elroy.  Judy is a typical teenager, with many of her interests revolving around boys and her electronic diary DiDi.  Judy wears bright pink clothes and has white hair.  By trimming a long white wig with side swept bangs to be shorter, and pulling it into a high ponytail, you can recreate this look.
