Toy Story Costumes – Try Halloween Costumes From The Supporting Cast
The popularity of the Toy Story movies has inspired some of the most popular costume ideas since the first movie was released in 1995. The usual Toy Story costumes usually consist of Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear as their iconic status has only increased with children over the years.
Choosing Unique Toy Story Costumes
It’s easy to rely on the most famous Toy Story characters if you’re looking for Toy Story Halloween costumes that are sure to be a success. Yet, you should think about some of the secondary players in the Toy Story films when choosing a costume this Halloween.
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:
Lovable Bo Peep
This toy is modeled after Little Bo Beep from the popular children’s story. In the first movie, Bo Beep plays the object of Sheriff Woody’s affections, so this Toy Story costume would work great as a couples costume. You can probably find what you need to create a cute shepherdess ensemble at a local thrift shop.
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
A large plastic toy with colorful detachable body parts, Mr. Potato Head is an outspoken character with a sarcastic tone in the movie. And he makes a great Toy Story costume. The challenge here is with creating the interchangeable parts, but imagine the possibilities! You could wear a different Mr. Potato Head costume for each party you go to.
Mrs. Potato Head makes a great costume choice for females. Her costume looks quite similar to Mr. Potato Head, just more girly looking. In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head costumes would work great for couples!
Because Sarge Says So
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!
