Carbon Costume miner
The Miner from My Bloody Valentine
The Miner (played by Peter Cowper and Neil Affleck) is the brutal killer of the horror film My Bloody Valentine. Originally a miner who was trapped underground following an accident, he resorts to cannibalism to survive and is later committed to an asylum after murdering those responsible. Years later, Axel Palmer dons the Miner’s uniform to kill again. To create your costume, you’ll need a set of coveralls, a balaclava, black gloves, and sturdy boots. Finding a black miner’s cap can be difficult, but you can use a cheap yellow one and paint it yourself. The same goes for the silver details of your gas mask. Complete your look with the hat, mask, a belt, and your trusty pick axe.
Mr. Resetti from Animal Crossing
Most Animal Crossing players have come across the old temptation. The temptation to reset their island. It’s a lot of progress to make up and a lot of work to put in. But it might be worth it. If it weren’t for one little hiccup: Mr. Resetti. You can go ahead and reset your island if you want. As soon as he’s done lecturing you!
Dealing with Mr. Resetti might be hard but his cosplay isn’t! You need a mining hat and costume pickaxe, naturally. And black pace paint for the whiskers is a must.
Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2
Stinky Pete (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) is Woody’s complete opposite. He can’t stand children, was never loved or played with, and (at least for a time) finds life with children unbearable. He comes around eventually. But not before making life hard for everyone’s favorite cowboy-spaceman duo. And their friends.
Pete’s costume comes together pretty quickly but there are a few key bits you’ll have to factor in before you buy the pieces. Stinky Pete is a larger older man which might mean ordering a larger size than you normally wear. But if you skip a stomach cushion and order clothes to your usual size, you can still get Pete’s look while holding onto the pieces for another costume.
The costume also works best with a costume pickaxe. But as with most costume weapons, check your convention’s rules before you take it on the floor. If you’re wearing this costume to a private party you’re probably fine.
Once you’ve got all that sorted, you’ve only got a few costume pieces to buy. A prospector’s hat, a red button down work shirt, a pair of blue denim coveralls, and a yellow neckerchief. You’ll also need a pair of black boots. Western boots are very expensive, however, so I’ve listed an alternative that will work fine with the pants are worn over the top of the boots.
Finally you’ll want a fake white beard with thick white brows. You might have to trim the hairs a bit to avoid being tickled. But with the beard and brows in place and your costume on, you’ll be the most feared prospector in the toy box!
Dynamike from Brawl Stars
In Brawl Stars, Dynamike is an old-timey miner with a short fuse and explosive temper. As a brawler, Dynamike has low health and extremely high damage output, lobbing dynamite sticks and the barrel bomb strapped to his back to deal splash damage. There’s also Coach Dynamike that features him dressed comfortably in athleisure.
Panem District 12 Citizen
In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Panem’s District 12 citizens are miners. They’re poor, hungry, hard working, and more than anything, they want a way out of Panem’s authoritarian regime. Can their hero, Katniss Everdeen, save everyone?
