Mangle Costume
Bring the dismantled, eerie animatronic from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to life.
Mangle is the heavily damaged, redesigned version of Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Known for its chaotic, exposed endoskeleton and stark white-and-pink color scheme, this character is a favorite for fans of survival horror. A great Mangle costume relies on a mix of robotic details, fox ears, and dramatic, uncanny makeup.
