If you're a college student who loves Yo Gabba! Gabba! And is looking for a Halloween costume this year, then consider going as one of the inhabitants of Gabbaland. Small kids will think your costume is great, and other college students will probably recognize you right off the bat. We'll cover Muno, Plex, and Toodee.
Muno is a great costume to buy pre made. Because he has bumpy skin, it's hard to recreate by making your own costume, unless you want to put some work into it. Premade Muno costumes are usually a one piece jumpsuit modeled after Muno's bumpy skin, a tall hat with his one eye on it, and matching mittens. If you're going to try and make this costume, you could go simple and get a red t shirt and red pants, and then top it off with a red hat. Buy some white and black felt, and glue one round eye onto the hat, and you'll be good to go. If you want to get a little more involved, consider hitting up a craft store or the kid's toy aisle, and try and pick up some balls, ornaments, or molds. As long as they're round, or half round, they'll do. For round, cut them in half, and then spray paint, or use acrylic paint to colour them red. Once they're dry glue them to the shirt, pants, and hat to mimic Muno's bumpy surface. There's a chance they'll fall off while you wear your costume, so avoid gluing them to problem areas, like your seat, knees, elbows, or anywhere that's going to be bent or pushed on a lot.

Plex the robot is another complicated costume. The pre made costume has a yellow shirt with robot detailing, and silver sleeves like Plex has. It comes with a hat with Plex's face on it, and you pair it with your own pants and shoes. If you want to go the inexpensive route, pick up a yellow T shirt. Layer it over a grey, long sleeved shirt, and wear black pants. Buy a tube of fabric paint, and use Google to look up an image of Plex, and recreate his robot designs on the yellow shirt. Then, get a hat, yellow preferred, and glue felt eyes to it, and find a small ball to affix to the top. Paint the ball red before you glue it in place. Pair the shirts and hats with dark pants and sneakers, and you're good to go.
Toodee, the cat dragon, is a costume you'll have to make yourself. The few pre made Toodee costumes available are very expensive, often costing upwards of 0. So, save yourself the cost of books for the term, and make the costume. Second hand stores should come in handy for this pale blue outfit. Find a blue shirt and pants, and pair with your own shoes. Hit up the craft store for some lighter blue felt. Cut out an oval,and glue it on the shirt to mimic Toodee's pale blue belly. For the head, either buy a blue hat and glue felt eyes on it, or pick up an inexpensive cat costume set in white. Usually it's only ears and a tail, and you'll only need the ears. Using fabric dye, or even some blue food colouring, dye the ears pale blue. Now your costume is complete!
