ABOUT DR. EGGMAN:
Dr. Eggman (or Dr. Robotnik depending on the region) is the primary antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He is characterized as an overweight mad scientist with a bushy mustache and a distinctive futuristic red jacket.
Eggman is an ambitious and cunning villain with dreams of world domination, which he hopes to achieve with the construction of a robot army. He also dreams of acquiring the chaos emeralds and master emerald and harnessing their power for his nefarious gains.
Despite his intelligence and technical knowledge, Dr. Eggman is thwarted by Sonic and his allies at every turn.
1. HOODIE – This authentic hoodie is a great place to start based on the video game depiction od Dr Eggman.
2. JEANS – Best skip leg day this week because it’s time to slip into the skinniest pair of black jeans you can find.
3. GOGGLES – You see anyone wearing these welder goggles and doesn’t it just scream maniacal scientist hell-bent on world domination?
4. BOOTS – Don a futuristic pair of knee-high boots to elongate your frame and take the focus away from the rotund midriff.
5. GLOVES – Add a pair of plain white gloves. Trust us, Santa Claus gloves work particularly well for this DIY Dr. Robotnik costume.
6. MUSTACHE – Dr. Robotnik’s mustache is the stuff of legend. Few men have the power to grow something so majestic so we recommend a suitable fake alternative.
7. BALD CAP – Finally, if you’re blessed to still have a full head of hair, a bald cap is definitely on the cards.
As maniacal as he is hilarious, Dr Robotnik is hands-down one of our favorite costumes from our Sonic the Hedgehog Collection. With a nickname like Eggman, world domination might remain forever out of his reach but one of the funniest Halloween costume ideas of all time? Now that seems more realistic.
Although we respect Jim Carey’s reinterpretation of this classic video game character, Dr. Eggman will always be a rotund ball with skinny legs to us.
