Tips

Practice your best crossed-arms pose and confident scowl for photos to capture Vegeta's classic attitude.
If using a wig, use a wig cap to keep your natural hair flat so the wig sits correctly on your forehead.
Ensure the foam armor is flexible enough to sit down comfortably if you plan on wearing this to a convention.
