Mangle Costume
Bring the broken, white-and-pink animatronic fox from Freddy's 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 distinct pink-and-white color palette, it is a favorite choice for fans looking to create a creepy, high-impact cosplay. This guide helps you assemble the look using a mix of structured white garments, metallic accents, and signature makeup.

How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white bodysuit or base clothing layers.
- 2
Use metallic silver fabric paint or silver tape to draw exposed mechanical ribs, wires, and joints on one side of the bodysuit to mimic the torn-apart endoskeleton.
- 3
Secure the pink bow tie around your neck, ensuring it sits clearly at the collar.
- 4
Attach the white and pink fox ears headband to your head, pulling your hair back.
- 5
If using a secondary endoskeleton head, secure it to your right shoulder using wire or safety pins hidden under the bodysuit fabric.
- 6
Apply the face makeup or put on the Mangle mask, ensuring the yellow eyes and red lipstick smile are fully visible.
- 7
Attach the white fox tail to the back of your waist to complete the animatronic look.
Makeup & hair
Paint your face stark white. Draw large pink circles on your cheeks, paint your nose black, and apply bright red lipstick extending past the corners of your mouth in a wide grin. Use yellow face paint or colored contacts for the eyes, and black eyeliner to create dramatic eyelashes on one eye.

Tips
- Since Mangle is a broken animatronic, asymmetry is your friend; make one side look clean and the other side completely ruined and metallic.
- If using a full mask, make sure it has adequate ventilation and eyeholes, as visibility can be limited at conventions or night events.
- Carry a small flashlight to shine upward at your face for a creepy, jump-scare photo effect.
