Wednesday, July 7th, 2010When it comes to choosing Halloween costumes it seems as though Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Jessie are perfect selections because it’s like their characters were drawn for the occasion. You would be hard pressed to to find a film that inspired more Halloween outfits than the animated Toy Story.
A Different Look at Toy Story Costumes
If you?re looking for Toy Story costumes this Halloween, you can always rely on the famous cowboy and leader of the toys, Woody, cowgirl Jessie, and space ranger action figure Buzz Lightyear costumes to be a huge hit. But why not go a little off the beaten path and consider one of the lesser known, but still recognizable, toys from the hit movie?
After all, the three main characters shouldn’t be all you limit yourself to. For some other great Toy Story costume ideas, here are a few examples:
Bo Beep
As her name implies, Bo Peep is a toy that is modeled after Little Bo Peep. Bo Peep is also Woody?s love interest in the movie, so the two Toy Story costumes work great for couples! All it would take to dress up as Bo Peep from Toy Story is a cute shepherdess outfit ? you can probably find what you need at your local vintage or thrift store.
Hamm I Am
Hamm is considered by many to be the star of the original Toy Story film. He is a toy piggy Bank with a cork on his stomach and a coin slot on his back. It’s possible to purchase a pre-made Hamm Toy Story costume online or at retail shops. But you could easily make one yourself with a really loose pink sweatsuit and cartoon pig mask.
The Well-Known Mr. Potato Head
Everybody knows about the Mr. Potato Head toy. It’s a large plastic potato with interchangeable parts that are very colorful. As far as Toy Story costumes, he makes an excellent one! You can get quite creative with Mr. Potato head and all the possibilities his many parts present.
Girls also have a great opportunity to get creative with Mrs. Potato Head. She’s almost the same as Mr. Potato Head but with more feminine plastic parts like eyelashes, skirts and high heel shoes. Think of how well a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head costume would work for couples going to a costume party together!
Sarge Takes Charge
You’ll remember Sarge as the leader of the toy soldiers made of green plastic. He’s still one of the more popular characters and creating his signature all green uniform is as simple as finding an Army surplus store and some green face makeup.
Bo Peep, Hamm, Mr. (or Mrs.) Potato Head, and Sarge are all great examples of Toy Story costumes. Why be just another Woody, Jessie, or Buzz at the party when you could stand out in the crowd as one of the other Toy Story movie characters? Regardless of which Toy Story character you choose, Toy Story costumes are sure to be a hit at any gathering!
