My retro 80s toy children...

After 3 years of doing duo costumes (Finn and Jake, Mordecai and Rigby, and Spy vs. Spy) this year my kids decided to go it alone. McKenna wanted to be Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony and Sage wanted to be an oldskool Gameboy. Both toys originated in the 80s, so that's kind of a theme. Here's our obligatory porch pic...


 And some solo shots. In exchange for one-of-a-kind costumes, my kids know that all I ask for is a few decent pics. It's a small price to pay and they are usually happy to oblige (but eager to go out and collect candy).



Here are some work-in-progress pics...

 

You can read the tutorials I wrote for the My Little Pony Costume and the Gameboy Costume on Instructables.com.

Whew! The whirlwind Halloween costume-making kokoleo sweatshop is officially closed for another year.
