Signing UpStep 1: What you'll need

* plaster strips
* vaseline
* 2 baseball caps or other tight fitting hats
* newspaper or other scrap paper
* white glue
* thin cardboard
* masking tape
* plastic cups (optional)
* costume mohawk (any purple wig hair would do but I happened to pick up a couple mohawks on sale last year)
* fake fur - we used less than 1.5 meters
* scrap fabric
* sewing machine or needle and thread
* hot glue gun
* coat hanger or similar wire
* elastic
* needle and thread
* air dry clay

* cheap "skateboarding & trick roller skating" helmet
* rope
* plaster of paris and sandpaper (optional)
* cheap safety goggles
* foam core
* 2 bottle caps
* 3 long-sleeved undershirts
* upholstery foam (the kind they sell in square packs to replace chair cushions will work well)
* red faux leather jacket or vest
* beige tank top or white muscle shirt and tea
* batting or stuffing (I used leftovers from other projects and some of the insides of an old pillow)
* 2 pairs of large work gloves
* coffee
* large wide cargo pants (black for Bebop, camo or khaki for Rocksteady)
* giant shoes (worthy of their own instructable)
* plastic bullets

Brings back childhood memories, too.
If you want to continue to use it as a helmet, I would suggest making the modifications on top of the hard plastic and keeping everything intact under the papier mache.
