Aang
1

Aang Costume

Aang was a main character in the anime show, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Airbending is only one of the four bending arts, but Aang was one of the only Air Nomads that could actually use all four air bending powers. Surprisingly enough, there is another bending art called energy bending that came before all of the other arts, and Aang mastered that as well. He is crazy talented with his skills and he became the very last airbender of his people.

Aang’s signature look involves A Brown Jumpsuit under an Orange Poncho and Orange Sash paired with Knee High Brown Boots, and a Wooden Stick that he uses as his personal staff. This is a perfect costume for all of our bald gentlemen out there because Aang has no hair! You will need to use some Blue Body Paint to draw an arrow on your head just like Aang. His look is pretty simple but unique to his character.

Bane

Bane Costume

We all know Bane as the one who broke Batman’s back, which obviously goes to show just how hardcore this guy really is! Bane is one of Batman’s biggest enemies, and when we say biggest we mean BIGGEST. He has muscles where you didn’t even know you had muscles. Bane was imprisoned and used as a test subject with the drug, Venom. This drug enhanced Bane’s physical strength so high that even Batman struggles when coming face to face with him.

Bane is a top costume choice for anyone who is bald because he is one of the most popular Batman’s nemeses. To be the biggest, baddest, and baldest guy around, grab Bane’s Gunmetal Mask, his Leather Vest, Shearling Jacket, Tactical Pants, a Wrist Brace, and a pair of Jungle Boots. Break the Bat with Bane’s bald look!
